Clause 74 - Basic loss payment
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill
2:30 pm

Mr David Wilshire (Spelthorne, Conservative)
I am most grateful. Of course, you and I have been here a long time, Mr. Pike. We have seen Governments come and go, and I look forward to this one going sooner rather than later. I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to say as much as I did, and I shall move on without trying your patience.
Before lunch, I made several points about the clause, and I will not go back over them. As you were not in the Chair this morning, however, I will say that the Committee was slightly demob happy, although it did not quite get round to singing happy birthday to the hon. Member for Wansdyke (Dan Norris). It did cheer, however, when I finally mentioned Heathrow.
