I am aware of Clause 60 of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, which has had its Second Reading in the House of Commons. Yet another MHCLG Bill is coming—I am sure the Minister is thrilled at that prospect. Honestly, she deserves a gong for the dedication she shows in undertaking such things. If the Minister cannot accommodate such a measure at this time, a statutory instrument could be tabled, or it could be considered in the next Bill. This is a simple thing for the Government to do, it would be much welcomed, and it is within the spirit of the legislation that will be coming soon.
