178A: After Clause 77, insert the following new Clause—
“Voting restrictions in local authority housing matters relating to City of London
In section 618 of the Housing Act 1985 (Common Council of the City of London), omit subsections (3) and (4).”
Member's explanatory statement
This Clause removes a restriction applying uniquely to the City of London Corporation’s Common Council members which prevents them from voting in local authority housing matters where they have a pecuniary interest. It brings them into line with the regime for such interests which applies to councillors of local authorities under the Localism Act 2011.
