Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ford (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

The point that I was trying to make, although I may have failed, was not just about the quantum of planners, it was the fact that, having started life as a planner, I know that sometimes very complicated schemes come your way once every 10 or 15 years. For those more complex and special schemes it is sensible to concentrate scarce skills in a single agency that is able to help local authorities. We both agree on the overall quantum of planners, but my point about specialist schemes may be more compelling.
