Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

My Lords, does the noble Baroness accept that it appears from Erskine May that, while this matter may be within the boundaries of House of Commons privilege, it is also one that the House of Commons has the power to waive? Therefore it would be appropriate to ask the House of Commons whether it wishes to waive its privilege, rather than dealing with a Bill that, from the beginning, says simply that all these regulations are a matter for the House of Commons.
