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


Planning Bill

My Lords, the noble Viscount raises an interesting question, but those penalties come under by-laws, which is quite normal in transport activities, such as by-laws on the railways, which fix penalties for fare evasion and other things. I am not aware of who approves them, but there needs to be provision for making them and, if they need to be approved by the Secretary of State or by Parliament in some form, that clearly needs to happen. My point is that they need to be included to make the whole system work.
