Proceeding contribution from Lord Beecham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 June 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

I hear what the noble Lord says but the Bill distinguishes, does it not, between matters which will be made criminal offences? Failure to register or to declare an interest are offences at the serious end of misconduct. But is that not a national provision? What is the difference in principle between obligations of that kind and obligations of other sorts of conduct that can affect a community that a council is representing?
