Section 104 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (the 2009 Act) enables the Secretary of State, by order, to make provision for constitutional arrangements for a combined authority; this includes provision for a combined authority to make arrangements locally for constitutional matters. It makes no provisions about the circumstances in which combined authorities can review their local constitutional arrangements.
	This section inserts a new section 104D to the 2009 Act to enable combined authorities to instigate a review of their local constitutions and make changes where agreed.
