HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 c98W
82. Mr. Terry Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will seek to amend Section 6 of the Local Government (Financial Provisions) Act, 1963, in order to make it clear that an urban district council may incur expenditure on something which a county council is forbidden to do.

Mr. Graham Page

No, Sir. The expenditure which any council may or may not incur under this section is related to its own powers. The powers of other authorities are not relevant.
