Neighbourhood Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beecham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Neighbourhood Planning Bill.

I obviously cannot proceed to a vote on the amendment, but the Minister seems to ignore the explicit statement of the Delegated Powers Committee that,

“the power conferred by clause 38 of this Bill is inappropriate to the extent that it allows the Secretary of State to amend Assembly legislation without at least an obligation to consult Welsh Ministers”.

If that is the practice, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, that it should be codified and expressed in the Bill. What is the problem?
