Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords].
London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]
If my hon. Friend's intention is to provoke me by describing me as a socialist, he has certainly succeeded. I have always been a great believer in enabling legislation. There is nothing to prevent the Government from introducing a public Bill that enables local authorities to carry out an experiment if they want to, and then, if they do not like what they are doing, to amend the laws locally. A public Bill with enabling powers is a much better way of meeting my hon. Friend's concerns.
