Planning Bill

My Lords, sometimes that might be the nature of progress. On many occasions, this House has been presumptuous enough to believe that it knows better than the House of Commons, and that has led to quite interesting situations. I recognise my difficulty, but we have to face that. If we are dealing with parliamentary approval, that has to be done. There will have to be a mechanism for resolving that: it would simply be to go back to work. We cannot deal with that situation until we face it. I think our amendments are clearer and more understandable. I do not wish to duck the issues and the complexities. Life was never meant to be easy. I beg to move.
