Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

I am grateful for the clarification. It does not affect greatly what I was going to say, but it was important for the record. I would like to take away the Committee’s concerns, and to write to Members setting out how we see this working. The noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, will appreciate this point: there has to be the overwhelming principle of reasonableness in the way the clauses work, and we need to set out how that would operate in this case. I am grateful for the support for the principle because it is important for the way this part of the Bill operates.
