Jacqui Lait (Shadow Minister, Communities and Local Government; Beckenham, Conservative)

I beg to move amendment No. 193, in clause 11, page 5, line 36, leave out subsection (3).

We do not need to spend a huge amount of time on the amendment, unless any of my hon. Friends have any further queries. The purpose of tabling the amendment was to seek assurances on the development of air transport, and waste and nuclear policy. I think that the Minister might get more than a little irate if we went over that debate yet again. So, unless there is anything else that he wishes to add, I would be prepared to withdraw the amendment.

Eric Illsley (Barnsley Central, Labour)

Order. The hon. Lady cannot withdraw the amendment yet.

John Healey (Minister of State (Local Government), Department for Communities and Local Government; Wentworth, Labour)

I am grateful to the hon. Member for Beckenham for the way that she has moved the amendment. The hon. Lady is right that we have already covered the ground in great detail, but even that would not tempt me to become irate. I am grateful for her indication that she is looking to withdraw the amendment.

Jacqui Lait (Shadow Minister, Communities and Local Government; Beckenham, Conservative)

I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
