I had heard that it would be the House of Commons next Friday (26 Nov). Starting such a controversial bill in the Lords would be tendentious, to put it mildly.<br /><br />I doubt whether there is time for a Second Reading debate in either House before the Christmas recess. As for the notion that it could get to Royal Assent by Easter, that is just Cloud-cuckoo-land. All the CLG statements up to now have assumed it will take a year, and that seems perfectly possible.Martin H Goodallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079479984296674469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-50515449089254721982010-11-18T17:16:43.943+00:002010-11-18T17:16:43.943+00:00At the Association of Democratic Services Officers...At the Association of Democratic Services Officers (ADSO) Conference in Leeds 15-16 November, Jo Miller, Deputy CEO of the LGA, said that the CLG had told her that the final D&L Bill would be laid before the House of Lords on Monday 22 November (not a draft version for consultation: Consultation? What's that?!) and that they expected it to have two readings in the Lords before Christmas and to be an Act by Easter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
