Proceeding contribution from Lord Stunell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill (ways and means)
The right hon. Gentleman asked me a question and the answer is no, I do not accept that at all. When we exchanged words in Committee, I thought that this was an outrage, so I am glad that it has been downgraded a little. The important point is that the decision a local authority takes should be transparent, so that the local electorate are aware of it and the local authority are accountable to them. We have accepted the point that my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford East put to the Committee, and Government amendments 130 and 131 deal with that.
