Proceeding contribution from Chris Williamson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords].


London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]

The truth is that local authorities can already apply this provision to retail and commercial properties, as the hon. Member for Shipley (Philip Davies) said. The proposal will extend it to public buildings. If the hon. Lady objects to the powers that are currently available to local authorities to insist on commercial and retail premises tidying litter away, she should put forward an alternative piece of legislation to repeal those powers.
