Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

May I clarify that I am not enticing the Minister to criticise the local authority? However, there is an issue here. A Bill is coming to its conclusion and will shortly be enacted. Should not true a local authority taking a reasonable decision and taking into account all relevant factors take into account the fact that the Government intend the Bill to be implemented rapidly? Should it not therefore act in the spirit of the Bill?
