I beg to move, Amendment No. 23, in page 4, line 4. leave out subsection (7) and insert— '(7) All resolutions passed before 1st July 1974 shall be binding on the council'. This is a probing amendment. I have wrestled with this subsection (7). I have done my best with it. In the subsection in the Bill there is not a full stop in nine lines of print, until the end. We are trying to encourage interest in local government and legislation, and the words that I have suggested as a substitute might meet the case. I should like to hear the Minister's comments on the matter.
