LOCALISM BILL: Second Reading.
|
[Until 10.00 pm]
|
|
|
|
That this House, whilst affirming its belief in the important principle of devolving power to local people and their elected
representatives, declines to give a Second Reading to the Localism Bill because the proposed devolution of power to local
authorities is undermined both by the extent to which the Bill hands powers to the Secretary of State to over-ride those devolved
powers and by the extent of powers of the Secretary of State to direct local authorities in their governance arrangements,
and because the community empowerment and neighbourhood planning sections of the Bill, which have been put together hastily
and without adequate consultation with important stakeholders, would cause the planning functions of local authorities to
become incoherent and ineffective and create new costly and complex systems of service procurement and would reduce the effectiveness
of local authorities; and is strongly of the opinion that the publication of such a Bill should have been preceded by both
fuller consultation and pre-legislative scrutiny of a draft Bill.
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 pm.
