Localism Bill

Letting many flowers bloom is the position. Clause 68(5) refers to a ““voluntary or community body””, and the noble Baroness has mentioned the differences there; to a body ““established for charitable purposes””; to the parish council; and then to ““two or more employees””, and ““more”” could be considerably more. How that ““more”” then establishes itself is another way forward. There are clearly two features here: the elements of ““voluntary””, ““community”” or ““charitable””; and the way in which employees choose to organise themselves. They are lumped together, but in many minds—in my mind at any rate—they are two distinct ways forward.
