Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) 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 am very grateful to my noble friend for that detailed response. I shall read it with interest, because it is difficult to take in at this time of night. I am sure the intention was not to go down the salami-slicing route, as he calls it, because that is not the way to develop projects. I know that the Bill has already been significantly improved, because at one stage one of the independent planning commission projects was 100 yards of cycle route next to a trunk road. Ministers have, rightly, taken that provision out. When I read that, I am sure that I will learn a lot and the ports will be much happier. For now, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 141 to 143 not moved.] Clause 23 agreed to. Clause 24 [Railways]:
