Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].


Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

The Government are arguing that local authorities should have flexibility and then say that having a list sets out the sorts of things that might be included. If they wish to achieve flexibility, they should not have the list at all because, by including one, they prescribe, limit and restrict what might be added. I am happy to talk about this outside Committee and take the issues further.
