Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for that wide-ranging response, but he did not address the point about fibre optics; I do not know whether he has anything to say about that. He creates an interesting scene in my mind. If there is no limit to the size and extent of underground cables and someone started to put the main interconnector—not that that is necessarily a very big cable—underground, in the north of England, and heading for Scotland, and did not need planning permission, could they simply dig a hole and put it in without anyone having any say in the matter?
