Proceeding contribution from Lord Jenkin of Roding (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

We touched on this subject on the first day of Committee in the context of the role of the Infrastructure Planning Commission. On that occasion, I said why I thought—and I agree very much with the views of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Boyd—that in some cases site-specific indications would inevitably be in the national policy statement. I will not repeat what I said on that occasion, which I hope is of some relief to the Minister, who is asking us to make a little more progress. I have some sympathy with that, as I do not want to sit here all night. However, my noble friend raised some perfectly valid points and I look forward to hearing the Minister’s reply.
