Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

Before my noble friend the Minister sits down, would she consider the possibility that not giving any indication at all to local planning authorities of the time they have got to get themselves sorted out—I completely share her view that they need to get on with the job—might prolong the process rather than speed it up? In that context, I do not think she answered the question of what the Government are going to do to assist the Planning Inspectorate to cope with what everybody thinks is going to be a very substantial increase in its workload in the short run.
