English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 changed the Highways Act 1980 as it relates to pavement licences, but did not affect the 1990 Act. There are two Acts dealing with this issue, and one that really affects inner-London boroughs. I hope the Minister is fully aware and understanding of the need to preserve the 1990 Act, which legal advice says has supremacy over the 2023 Act. That is because of the nature of the legislation, but I will not go into the detail of that.
