Planning Bill

I have tabled a number of amendments in this group. They pretty much make the same point as that made in those tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Dixon-Smith. Publication by definition comes later than the decision. It may be only half an hour or, as he says, it may be three days. I might be capable of arguing the issue for three days, but probably not for three weeks. I have taken more than three seconds to speak, but my speech is closer to three seconds than to anything else.
