Clause 3 - RPB: general functions
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill
9:30 am
Sir Sydney Chapman (Chipping Barnet, Conservative)
I do not disagree with my hon. Friend. This is necessarily a complicated Bill. The
emphasis and weighting that one gives certain words and phrases say everything. I want a Bill to be as specific as it practically can be, but I accept that there must be sweeping definitions that cannot necessarily be spelled out. Within that, I agree with my hon. Friend.
I apologise for detaining the Committee for slightly longer than I had intended, Mr. Pike, but I strongly support amendment moved by the hon. Member for Ludlow, as well as those that we tabled.
