Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

My Lords, it seems to me that the concept of sharing back-office and administrative services is entirely reasonable and I can see the benefits that might flow from that. My noble friend raises an interesting question as to how it works and whether there is a discussion or an imposition when new bodies are brought in. I suppose I am a little surprised that there are not the general powers already available for the sharing of these functions but I support the thrust of this.
