Proceeding contribution from Earl of Caithness (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

My Lords, the noble Baroness said something that slightly perturbed me. I believe she said to my noble friend Lord Dixon-Smith that, ““We are not convinced that a zero rate would apply””. Surely this is for the local authority, or have I got that wrong? Are the Government now going to tell local authorities what the rate should be? If a local authority wants a zero rate, surely it can have that, or are central government going to say, ““No, you cannot have a zero rate””? That is rather a new aspect.
