Proceeding contribution from Baroness Warsi (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL].


Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am not sure at what point I should speak on this, but it is important that I should clearly lend my support to the Government’s amendments. Both my noble friend Lord Hanningfield and I have put our names to the amendments tabled by the Minister. We have done so because the Government have clearly listened to what the Opposition and other noble Lords said in Grand Committee. I am grateful that the Government have heeded that advice and have been prepared to cede ground.
