60: After Clause 78, insert the following new Clause—
“Powers of parish councils
After section 19 of the Local Government Act 1894 (provisions as to small parishes), insert—
“19A Powers under other enactments
(1) Nothing in this Part affects any powers, duties or liabilities conferred on a parish council by or under any other enactment (whenever passed or made).
(2) This section does not apply in relation to community councils (see section 179(4) of the Local Government Act 1972).””
Member's explanatory statement
This amendment inserts a new section into the Local Government Act 1894 to clarify that the powers conferred on parish councils under Part 1 of that Act do not affect any powers, duties or liabilities of parish councils conferred by or under any other enactment (whenever passed or made).
