Planning Bill

My Lords, that is a deeply disappointing speech. Perhaps I must remind the Minister of the words that I used in moving this amendment: of course that vote must be respected, and I accept that it will be for another place only formally to approve the many regulations. The noble Baroness began by saying that we were trying to reverse last week’s vote. That is absolutely not true. We are now asking for a say in what happens here, that is recognised in the legislation. If the Minister does not like the procedure which I have set up, it is open to the Government to come forward with some other way in which this House could have a say. They can only do that if we send this amendment back to the other place. I wish to test the opinion of the House. On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 27) shall be agreed to? Their Lordships divided: Contents, 128; Not-Contents, 125. Clause 224 [Community Infrastructure Levy: repeals]: [Amendment No. 28 not moved.] Clause 239 [Extent]: [Amendment No. 29 not moved.]
