Housing and Regeneration Bill

I have some sympathy with the noble Lord, Lord Greaves, but, more importantly, Part 3 of this schedule is more relevant to the Planning Bill which will come to this House, because this is really a planning matter and has nothing to do with the subject of this Bill, housing and regeneration. This is a serious part of this schedule relating to planning. I would like the Minister to consider very seriously whether it should be here at all, because it would be much more appropriate as part of the Planning Bill, which we know is coming here, although we do not quite know when.
