I am looking at the relevant section, which is section 34(4)(a). We specifically mentioned LSMATS primarily because it is there and set down under the Southern Regional Assembly's regional, spatial and economic strategy, RSES. It specifically mentions that each local authority must come up with its own plan under LSMATS. It is there on a statutory footing. Under this particular section, the mayor will have the authority to deal with LSMATS. At this moment, it is not on a statutory footing but when it does, it will automatically flow to be covered under section 34(4)(a).
