European Charter Of Local Self-Government
EDM number 1376 in 1993-94, proposed by David Rendel on 22/06/1994.
That this House notes that the European Charter of Local Self-Government contains many noble and worthy clauses designed to safeguard the future of local government, prevent over-centralisation and prevent central government interference in the affairs of local government; believes that, as laid out in the Charter, local authorities should have the power to set their own budgets, should be free to adopt a structure that meets the local need, and should not have their boundaries altered without consultation with the local people and the consent of the local people; notes further that the United Kingdom has not signed the European Charter of Local Self-Government; believes that this is because the Government lacks commitment to the principle of local government; and calls upon the Government to alter their stance by signing the European Charter of Local Self-Government. (Relevant registered interest declared).
This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
