Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

Some noble Lords will remember a show called ““Oliver!”” in which Fagin says, "““You’ve got to pick-a-pocket or two””." As currently drafted, this smacks of a situation where the pick-pocket-in-chief can choose his own jury. I am grateful to the Minister for the assurance that that is not quite what the Government have in mind.
