Part 1: Local Government

Chapter 3: Other Authorities
Section 14: Further Amendments

47.Subsection (1) amends the Local Government Act 1972 to disapply section 111 (subsidiary powers of local authorities) of that Act to Integrated Transport Authorities, economic prosperity boards and combined authorities, as the incidental powers provided by that section are replaced by the new general powers.

48.Subsection (2) amends section 93 of the Local Government Act 2003 to provide that the restrictions on charging under the new powers (and under section 100(2) of the Local Transport Act 2008) do not amount to prohibitions on charging for the purposes of section 93. This ensures that the power to charge for discretionary services extends to discretionary services provided under the new powers.
