Housing and Regeneration Bill

moved Amendment No. 73G: 73G: Clause 18, page 9, line 18, leave out from first ““area”” to end and insert ““and that area or any part of it is in the RPB’s region”” The noble Lord said: The wording of the amendment is clearer than the wording in the Bill and that is all I have to say about it. It says what the Government want to say but in better English. We are concerned that if government Amendment No. 74 were to be passed today it might pre-empt discussion on important points in the planning part of the Bill at a later stage. It would be useful to know the Minister’s views on that. I beg to move.
