The London Local Authorities Bill promoted by London Councils on behalf of all London local authorities was debated by a Select Committee in the House of Commons last week. The private bill provisions in relation to:

• street trading; and
• civil penalties for litter, smoking-debris and dog fouling.

A date for the bill to be taken to report stage in the House of Commons is yet to be set.
