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

The explanation for that is simple: the noble Baroness has taken the trouble to write to me on those amendments. I am grateful for that letter. Unfortunately, I received it only this morning. I have read it and it looks as though it has answered the points that we raised in those amendments. I give the Minister warning that I need to study it properly, but I do not propose to go any further this afternoon. I have every sympathy with what the noble Lord, Lord Tyler, is saying. I recognise that he is discussing a very real difficulty. I have been trying quite hard to make a connection between that and national infrastructure, but I may be rather less sympathetic than the Minister.
