Clause 47
Planning Bill
1:45 pm
Bob Neill (Shadow Minister, Communities and Local Government; Bromley and Chislehurst, Conservative)
The amendment would insert a subsection to which we have referred before. Introducing the measure by statutory instrument would allow time for reflection. We are still not convinced that it is wise to embark upon this course, when we are yet to see the working out of the 2005 rules. Because we have misgivings, and because there is still a lot of uncertainty, we want to allow more time for reflection. The House should have the opportunity to vote before it introduces a procedure that potentially has significant ramifications for the rights of individuals.
