Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

My Lords, I should like to make this point. Paragraph (c), which refers to the affirmative resolution procedure, states that the regulations, "““shall not be made unless, before approval by the House of Commons, a period of 60 days has elapsed, beginning with the day on which the regulations were laid””." Surely that makes it perfectly obvious that the House of Commons can proceed with its resolution at the end of the 60-day period without waiting any longer for any report to emerge.
