Proceeding contribution from Lord Mackay of Clashfern (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
My Lords, having listened carefully to the noble Lord, Lord O’Neill of Clackmannan, it occurs to me that his proposition would result in no person who depended for their position on elections taking an executive decision. That seems to be a wide proposition. I do not express any view about the desirability of applying that doctrine in this case, but it seems to be a doctrine of very general application which would have a great effect on the machinery of government in our country.
