Growth and Infrastructure Bill

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

Before the noble Lord sits down, may I ask a question because there is something I do not understand? What is there under present law to stop a local authority saying to a developer, “Yes, we’ll agree to this, but there are other conditions that are part of that deal”? All that the noble Lord suggests could be perfectly properly achieved in a deal with the local authority. What sort of local authority would give its permission without such a deal taking place?
