Planning Bill

As I want to raise other matters later, I shall not delay the House for long. I am delighted that the Government have accepted the objection raised by my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) to the original drafting and tabled their own amendment, which we welcome wholeheartedly. However, I want to make a minor point about the Minister's reference to the relevant planning authority under new clause 27. He said that the relevant authority in the case of, ““for example””, hazardous waste was the county planning authority. I believe that it is the relevant authority exclusively in the case of hazardous waste. Perhaps the Minister can confirm that.
