Mr Nick Raynsford (Minister of State (Local Government), Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions; Greenwich and Woolwich, Labour)
In my introductory remarks, I made it clear that we wholly supported the hon. Lady's objective in wanting the principles to apply, and that it was only the mechanism, not the principle, on which we disagreed. I hope that she accepts that we clearly believe that the principles behind the Bill should apply in future where appropriate.
It being One o'clock, The Chairman adjourned the Committee without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
Adjourned till Thursday 8 November at five minutes to Ten o'clock.
