Proceeding contribution from Earl of Caithness (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

I support the amendments. I raised the point at Second Reading and was quite vitriolic in saying to the Minister that to bring a Bill of this nature before this Chamber without it having any input to the final decision was wrong. Amendment No. 75 in the name of my noble friend Lord Dixon-Smith is the right one: the decision should be for the approval of both Houses. That is justified by what the noble Lord, Lord Turnbull, said. It gives much more credibility to the IPC and the national policy statements.
