Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

I am very grateful for the support from the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, on this and my earlier amendment. I have discovered that you can move amendments on a virtual basis, with friends in the Chamber. I also thank the Minister for his reply, although I wonder whether he could be a tiny bit more specific about when we might expect some response to Julie Rugg’s important report, which will give the Government the opportunity to spell out exactly when they plan to do something more for this sector, which has been the subject of so many reports.
