Proceeding contribution from Lord Turnbull (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
I support the noble Baroness. If the amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Cameron, were accepted, Clause 5(3) would read: "““Before designating a statement as a national policy statement for the purposes of this Act the Sustainable Development Commission must carry out an appraisal””." In other words, the Sustainable Development Commission then designates the statement as national policy. The whole thing is completely incoherent. Ultimately, only the Secretary of State can designate something as a national policy statement. We can question how he does that and what advice he takes, but, as I say, the amendment is incoherent.
