Proceeding contribution from Lord Newton of Braintree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

I had actually decided not to intervene, because it seemed almost unfair. There is nothing more certain, I would judge, than that if the UK Government approach the Scottish Government—I do not know about the Welsh—and say, ““We have this policy and if we get a fine that applies either north of the border or across the border, will you pay your share?””, they will tell us to get stuffed.
