Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) 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 thought that the first part of the Minister’s speech was very much better than mine at making the same points. However, I did not agree with his conclusion. We have sustainable community strategy duties, so why is it necessary to have the new economic assessment duty? The imbalance worries me. As the Minister said, the three aspects are interwoven. I should like to see something about this in the Bill. I should like to test the opinion of the House. Division on Amendment 156 Contents 115; Not-Contents 129. Amendment 156 disagreed. Clause 66: Partner authorities Amendment 157 not moved.
