4:50 pm

As the last speaker said, the more discussion, the better. On the interpretation of section 2, obviously much of the interpretation is as it stands in the Bill and "local authority" means a city or county council, naturally enough - nobody could disagree with that. As I agree with the interpretations, for example, on a gender sub-panel I will be saying much on that issue and other issues as they arise. However, while I agree with the interpretation of most of section 2, I will not agree with the actual section of the Bill itself. I will agree with the section 2 interpretation but when the different items come up I will be coming in again and I reserve my right to do that.
