Clause 69 - Designation of alarm notification areas
Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill
10:30 am
Mrs Anne McIntosh (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; Vale of York, Conservative)
I am not minded to withdraw my remarks. I refer the right hon. Gentleman to the points I made earlier that in the view of at least one council—Westminster city council—the legislation is not necessary. That view is therefore held by local authorities and the industry that will be affected. They believe that the legislation could be extremely intrusive and costly to impose. We have had a good debate and we will reserve our judgment until Report stage on how the clause will apply.
