Proceeding contribution from Lord Howarth of Newport (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

My Lords, I support one aspect in particular of Amendment No. 81D, which would extend the right of entry to carry out archaeological investigations. I have to get what I can for the heritage, where I can. What the amendment proposes is entirely consonant with PPG16, which, when it was originally introduced, made an enormous difference in giving archaeologists the opportunity to investigate sites where development was proposed. I think this would be useful, and I hope my noble friend will think likewise.
