Proceeding contribution from Lord Barker of Battle (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning and Energy Bill.


Planning and Energy Bill

That Bill will not capture a lot more, because we are not currently capturing any at all. If it catches one, that will be an improvement. I do not want the time limit for prosecutions to go from six months to two years—I want the Government to get on with the job and start prosecuting shoddy cowboy builders and irresponsible developers. I want them to enforce the existing legislation, rather than seek longer time to do the job that the Minister and the rest of this inefficient and calamitous Government are failing to do now.
