Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 June 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
My Lords, Clause 4(1) provides that an authority may, "““do things for a commercial purpose””;" that is, to trade under the general power, while subsection (2) provides that if an authority is doing something for a commercial purpose, it must be carried out ““through a company””. If an authority wishes to trade, under subsection (1) it can do so, but if it wants to do something else for a commercial purpose, it must be carried out through a company. It is not trading, rather it is presumably providing a service of some sort, and that must be done through a company.
