Proceeding contribution from Lord Dixon-Smith (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
My Lords, there is no doubt that ““council”” has a particular connotation, which does not apply in this instance. The amendment of the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, which leaves the subject open, is probably preferable to the rigidity of the Bill. I wonder whether this group would be not more executive than a council, but even ““executive”” would not describe its function with sufficient accuracy. The only thing on which I think we shall be able to agree is that we do not like the title. It is a little unfortunate. If we could find something better on which we could all agree, it would be an improvement.
