Growth and Infrastructure Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Liddle (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 February 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Growth and Infrastructure Bill.

In my experience, they very rarely get it wrong. My point was simply that if the Secretary of State felt that the overall balance of the way a national park was operating was not right, there is a remedy available to him or her, which is not the case for a local authority. Anyway, I would urge a special provision for national parks because, on the whole, they are a very precious element of our polity, introduced by the post-war Labour Government, and I do not think we want to tamper with them and their independence.
