To move the following Clause:—

 

‘(1)    

This section applies to a local or public authority which has been given a notice

 

under section 32 in respect of an EU financial sanction which is or includes a

 

penalty payment.

 

(2)    

Before imposing a requirement on a local or public authority to which this section

 

applies to make a further payment under this Part, a Minister of the Crown must

 

give a further warning notice to the authority and follow the procedures set out in

 

that notice (subject to any changes to those procedures made under subsection

 

(8)).

 

(3)    

A further warning notice is a notice stating that the Minister believes—

 

(a)    

that acts of that authority may have caused or contributed to the

 

continuing infraction of EU law for which the EU financial sanction in

 

question was imposed; and

 

(b)    

that, if acts of that authority did cause or contribute to that continuing

 

infraction of EU law, it would be appropriate to consider requiring the

 

authority to make a further payment under this Part in respect of any

 

relevant periodic payments.

 

(4)    

In this section “relevant periodic payments” means periodic payments falling due

 

from the United Kingdom as part of the EU financial sanction in question

 

which—

 

(a)    

have not already been the subject of an EU financial sanction notice

 

given to the authority; and


 
 

Notices of Amendments: 10 May 2011

Localism Bill, continued

 
 

(b)    

fall due before a date specified in the further warning notice.

 

(5)    

The date so specified must not be later than the day on which the further warning

 

notice is given to the authority in question.

 

(6)    

The warning notice must also—

 

(a)    

set out the Minister’s reasons for making the statements mentioned in

 

subsection (3);

 

(b)    

if the Minister thinks it appropriate to do so, specify the amount of the

 

payment the Minister considers the authority would be required to pay on

 

the assumption that the relevant circumstances have not changed since

 

the most recent EU financial sanction notice was given to the authority;

 

(c)    

set out the procedures for determining—

 

(i)    

whether the authority should be required to make a payment in

 

respect of any relevant periodic payments, and

 

(ii)    

the amount of any payment the authority is to be required to

 

make;

 

(d)    

invite the authority to make representations to the Minister about—

 

(i)    

any change of circumstances since the most recent EU financial

 

sanction notice, or

 

(ii)    

anything else that may be relevant to the determination of the

 

matters mentioned in paragraph (c)(i) and (ii).

 

(7)    

The further warning notice may contain such other information as the Minister

 

considers appropriate (including, in particular, anything of a description

 

mentioned in section 31(3)(b) to (e)).

 

(8)    

The Minister may, before the matters mentioned in subsection (6)(c)(i) and (ii)

 

are determined, give the authority a notice stating any changes that the Minister

 

has decided to make to any procedures or other information set out in the further

 

warning notice.

 

(9)    

A further warning notice given to a local or public authority may be withdrawn

 

at any time before the matters mentioned in subsection (6)(c)(i) and (ii) are

 

determined, but this does not prevent another further warning notice being given

 

to the authority.’.

 

Further EU financial sanction notices

 

Secretary Eric Pickles

 

nc14

 

To move the following Clause:—

 

‘(1)    

A Minister of the Crown may give a further EU financial sanction notice to a local

 

or public authority to which section [Further warning notices] applies in respect

 

of any relevant periodic payments (within the meaning of that section).

 

(2)    

A further EU financial sanction notice may be given only if the Minister is

 

satisfied that acts of that authority have caused or contributed to the continuing

 

infraction of EU law for which the EU financial sanction in question was

 

imposed.

 

(3)    

Section 32(2) and (3) to (5) apply to a further EU financial sanction notice as they

 

apply to an EU financial sanction notice under section 32.

 

(4)    

In the application of those provisions to a further EU financial sanction notice,

 

references to the total amount of the sanction are to be read as referring to the total

 

amount of the relevant periodic payments that are the subject of the notice.’.
