Governing bodies must, however, still adhere to the usual principles of public law, including consulting local authorities to ensure the change is aligned with wider organisational arrangements.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 05/01/2015 09:02:58 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
