Proceeding contribution from Lord Livsey of Talgarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Commons Bill [HL].

Commons Bill [HL]

Perhaps I may reply to what the Minister said about my amendment. I will read very carefully what he has said and will consult on it with those who are genuinely concerned about this matter. One wonders whether it will be 200 square metres in the final version of the Bill and whether this may create a loophole where land for development is scarce. It could be the result of consecutive applications, although ““careful scrutiny””—to repeat the words used by the Minister—would be given to each application. There is genuine concern among some commons associations that this is too large a chunk of land. However, I shall not press the amendment.
