Chapter 2: Other Provision Combined authorities Section 58: Review of combined authority’s constitutional arrangements Background
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.
