Clause 88
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords]
9:15 am
Dan Rogerson (North Cornwall, Liberal Democrat)
I thank the Minister for that. Although we are attempting to make some progress—I will behave myself, as I said I would, when it comes to not repeating votes on general principles—this is an important matter. There is a great deal of feeling outside this place that not enough emphasis is placed on this issue. As the title of the boards suggests, they are about economic prosperity. That is important, and I hope they will make a significant contribution to that duty. However, other important considerations also need to be borne in mind, among which this matter is perhaps paramount, so I would like to divide the Committee on the amendment.
