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

Planning Bill

My Lords, I declare an interest as the chairman of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and I hold similar positions in a number of other charities. I welcome the distance gone by the Minister in introducing Amendment No. 136AA. However, I will be left with a number of uncertainties in running my various organisations if that amendment goes forward as it stands. I will not test your Lordships’ patience by trying to do better than noble Lords who have gone before me and articulated so well what those uncertainties are, particularly the noble Lords, Lord Dixon-Smith, Lord Cameron, and Lord Hodgson. Suffice to say, I support Amendments Nos. 136AB to 136AJ.
