Infrastructure Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Richard Burden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 December 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Infrastructure Bill [Lords].

I am grateful Madam Deputy Speaker. Let us give it another five months.

It is difficult on Second Reading to go through the specifics of what is needed, but my hon. Friend has mentioned some important issues. There is a whole range of areas where we can tighten regulation. To give the Government some credit, they have so far accepted a number of our proposals—we put forward six—which is good, but there are still areas where they need to sharpen up. She mentioned timing. Our view is that, where there is monitoring, there is no reason why it should not take place over a proper 12-month period.
