Schedule 7
Crossrail Bill
1:00 pm
Stephen Hammond (Shadow Minister, Transport; Wimbledon, Conservative)
The amendments would make small but significant changes to the wording of paragraph 1 of the schedule, and I think that they are the best way to proceed. The Committee will see that, taken together, they would add an additional body of people to be specified by the Secretary of State to receive consultation, as per the provisions of the schedule.
Paragraph 1 requires the Secretary of State to specify every local authority that either has given him satisfactory undertakings on the handling of planning matters or
“has not subsequently been released from its undertakings.”
In the name of prudence and equitable treatment, it makes sense to add the words
“all such relevant persons or bodies as may be affected by making such an order”
to the list for specification.
