Proceeding contribution from Baroness Andrews (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 February 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]

I hope that the noble Lord will forgive me if I answer his absolutely pertinent question in the context of the beginning of the next debate. When we debate the clause standing part, I will be able to answer the question at more length than I can at the moment. I will draw on some of the words that have been put to me by both regional and local leaders about why the current system—he has said so frankly this afternoon—is not working.
