Local Government Bill — Endorsement of council tax by referendum — 24 Mar 1999

As amended in the Standing Committee, further considered.

(2) A proposal shall be deemed to have been endorsed if it is supported by a simple majority of voters where at least 50 per cent. of the electorate have voted.'.-- [Sir Paul Beresford.]

Brought up, and read the First time.

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

Madam Speaker:

With this, it will be convenient to discuss the following amendments: No. 98, in clause 28, page 15, line 37, after 'regulation', insert 'and limitation (capping)'.

A well-behaved authority that tries to do well underthe regulations will not get any benefit. From the Government's point of view, it is a win-win situation. An authority cannot prise more money out of the Government by doing better than expected under the regulations.

Question put, That the clause be read a Second time:--

The House divided: Ayes 170, Noes 335.
