Planning Bill

My noble friend may or may not know that I agreed with his noble friend the Minister that this evening I would not move or speak to Amendment No. 127, which dealt with the very point that is now asserted to be the Government’s position. I should be most grateful if he could reassure me that I can have substantive discussions with his colleague the Minister on this and that his mind is not totally made up; otherwise, I fear that I shall probably need to speak to my amendment.
