Is that not the crux of the matter? It is of no surprise that local authorities are in favour of the provisions. If the House is to provide for hugely extended powers, it is perfectly likely that the bodies getting those increased powers will be in favour of them. Is it not the House's duty to prevent such bodies from having undue extra powers at the expense of individuals in our constituencies?
