Local Government Act 1972 · 1972 c. 70View on legislation.gov.uk

Part VA: Access to Meetings and Documents of Certain Authorities, Committees and Sub-Committees.

A principal council shall maintain a register stating—

the name and address of every member of the council for the time being together with, in the case of a councillor, the ward or division which he represents; and
the name and address of every member of each committee or sub-committee of the council for the time being.

A principal council shall maintain a list—

specifying those powers of the council which, for the time being, are exercisable from time to time by officers of the council in pursuance of arrangements made under this Act or any other enactment for their discharge by those officers; and
stating the title of the officer by whom each of the powers so specified is for the time being so exercisable;

but this subsection does not require a power to be specified in the list if the arrangements for its discharge by the officer are made for a specified period not exceeding six months.

There shall be kept at the offices of every principal council a written summary of the rights— which are for the time being conferred by this Part, Part XI below and such other enactments as the Secretary of State by order specifies.

The register maintained under subsection (1) above, the list maintained under subsection (2) above and the summary kept under subsection (3) above shall be open to inspection by the public at the offices of the council.

But, in relation to a principal council in Wales, the information open to inspection under subsection (4) must not include a member's address included in the register maintained under subsection (1).
