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
What a horribly disjointed debate we have had. Let us hope the groupings are a bit better in the future. I am grateful to the Minister for what he has said. It seems a little odd that there should be confusion regarding nationally significant infrastructure projects. I question whether Part 3 ought to be entitled ““Nationally significant infrastructure projects””—perhaps it should refer to infrastructure projects for England. I am grateful to the Minister for explaining the procedure. The changes to the devolution arrangements will doubtless come in a few years’ time. I have no intention of upsetting them under this Bill—they will arise for different reasons. I hope that the Government will work very closely with the Scottish Government when it comes to cross-border issues. It was quite clear when we looked at the draft marine Bill that there were considerable problems between the Scottish and Westminster Governments on maritime issues. I hope that the Minister will bear that in mind and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 145 not moved.] Clause 24 agreed to. Clause 25 [Rail freight interchanges]: [Amendments Nos. 146 to 151 not moved.] Clause 25 agreed to. Clauses 26 and 27 agreed to. Clause 28 [Waste water treatment plants]:
