Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

Does the noble Lord accept that the Minister is undoubtedly right that the question of whether or not the councillor has a closed mind must be assessed as at the date when the council takes the decision? My concern—I ask whether it is his concern—is that it appears from the Minister’s observations that he is suggesting that anything that the councillor says at an earlier date, however extreme it may be, is irrelevant to the question of whether the councillor had a closed mind as at the date of the council decision. That seems to be the issue.
