Local Government Bill — Before Clause 25 — 15 Sep 2003 at 18:00

I beg to move, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment.

The amendment would insert a new clause at the beginning of part 2. The new clause says that part 2 can be applied only to an authority that has been identified by the Audit Commission as being at risk of overspending its total budget by more than 10 per cent.

Question put, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment:-

The House divided: Ayes 256, Noes 144.
