My Lords, I am most grateful to all noble Lords who participated in debates on these amendments. I particularly appreciated the offer of the noble Baroness, Lady Scott of Bybrook, to look at the way bids work to ensure better relationships with residents.
On Amendment 65, I appreciated the noble Baroness, Lady Taylor of Stevenage, talking about the costs of outside consultants. I was hoping that
“having the consultation materials and process submitted in draft to the main stakeholders for their review and comment in advance of the consultation”
would cover that point.
In the meantime, having thanked all noble Lords, I wish to withdraw my amendment.
