Proceeding contribution from Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Flood and Water Management Bill.

Flood and Water Management Bill

Amendment 46, like Amendment 47, is in response to the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. The committee recommended that the power to vary the penalty should either be limited to rises that relate to the rate of inflation or that it should be subject to the affirmative procedure. We are happy to accept the DPRR Committee recommendation that power to vary the penalty be limited to rises that relate to the rate of inflation. Therefore, our amendment to subsection (9) restricts the power to vary the maximum penalty to changes in the value of money. I beg to move.
