Clause 32
Greater London Authority Bill
Public Bill Committees, 16 January 2007, 5:15 pm
Michael Gove (Shadow Minister (Housing), Communities and Local Government; Surrey Heath, Conservative)
For the illumination of the Committee, because we lost the vote on that clause and because the other clauses are more or less consequent on clause 31 we are now reluctantly content to allow the other clauses the stand part of the Bill. As we lost the vote on clause 31, we will not contest the other clauses, so with the Minister’s permission and your permission, Mr. O’Hara, we can move on to the next debate. The final point that I wish to stress is that we and, I suspect, the Liberal Democrats may wish to table further amendments on Report that deal specifically with planning proposals. However, at this stage we acknowledge that the vote has been won by the Government.
