Housing and Regeneration Bill

I completely concur with my noble friend. There is a strong parallel between the way that a local authority would act if it was trying to do something on its land and the way that the Government are approaching this when their quango is doing something. That is how I see it and that is how the public see it. The points that my noble friend has made are quite right and I look forward to correspondence on that matter being copied to me. Perhaps this is a precursor to our discussion on Clause 14 and, in the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 63 and 64 not moved.]
