Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) 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 support my noble friend. Clause 50(2) states: "““The Secretary of State may vary or revoke any such consent””—" which really means that any consent given may be worthless because it may be varied or revoked— "““except in the case of anything already done, or agreed to be done, on the authority of it””." That would cover things that had already been done, but if aspects of the consent remained, they could be changed. The consent could be half implemented and, all of a sudden, the other half made invalid. My noble friend has a point. The wording needs to be thought about. I shall be very interested in what the Minister says.
