Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

I hesitate to intervene again. This has been a detailed and interesting discussion. I know the Minister is doing his best to be helpful, but in being helpful, he has read out a list of qualifications to a part of the Bill that is unqualified. I am aware of the impact on legislation of what is said in Parliament. We need to have some fairly serious discussions, which the Minister offered, before Report in order to try to find out what lies behind this. At the moment, I remain unconvinced that the position is sufficiently clear. Before the Bill departs this place, we need to be satisfied that it is sufficiently clear for there to be no misunderstanding.
