Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

Before my noble friend replies on the substantive matters, perhaps I may say how fascinated I was by what the Minister said about community councils, which are exactly what in England we call parish councils—we might call them all sorts of other things now, although I have not discovered any that have changed their name yet. The Minister said that it was vital that community councils in Wales are given these responsibilities. Is she saying that that will apply in England as well by way of the provision which states that the Secretary of State may by order apply the provisions in Chapter 1 to parish councils? Is it the intention of the Government that this will be done?
