Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [HL]

My Lords, since we are named, the Conservatives have a very active interest in this Bill, as we showed at Grand Committee, when we were able to enter into negotiations. My noble friend Lady Warsi has made clear that those negotiations came to fruition. Unlike the noble Lords on the Liberal Democrat Benches, we are not seeking to destroy this part of the Bill. The noble Lord, Lord Greaves, has made it clear that that is the objective. We are prepared to sit here, listen to any valid points and reflect on them.
