To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what powers the Secretary of State has in respect of the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902; and what responsibilities she has in respect of breaches of the Act. (248091)

The Liverpool Corporation Act 1902 makes certain provisions in relation to the Local Government Board whose functions, which were transferred to Ministers by the Ministry of Health Act 1919, are now exercisable by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (save for some health functions and Wales). Breaches of any Act, including the Liverpool Corporation Act 1902, are matters for the court.
