Planning Bill

I beg the Minister’s pardon. I was perhaps trying to read too much into her remarks. I am fascinated by the approach to publicity. We are prepared to give a great deal of detailed guidance to the commission about how publicity should be handled but in the previous group of amendments we were not prepared to have the Secretary of State give advice to the commission on the advice that it should give to potential applicants. There is inconsistency here. The Minister has, in her usual way, been conscientious in answering the points that have been raised. Other noble Lords will have to decide how far they are satisfied with those answers. I am most grateful to the Minister for her time and trouble. We shall study with great care what she said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 213 to 218 not moved.] Clause 53 agreed to. Clause 54 [Notifying persons of accepted application]: [Amendments Nos. 219 to 223 not moved.] Clause 54 agreed to. Clause 55 [Categories for purposes of section 54(2)(d)]:
