Planning Bill

I was about to beg to withdraw the amendment but, in response to the Minister, I refuse to be characterised as attempting to block proper development. That is not what we on these Benches are about. I also refuse to accept that the Government are not in a position, when faced with something important, to ensure that it is dealt with. However, before I provoke the Minister further, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 120 and 121 not moved.] Clause 14, as amended, agreed to. Clause 15 [Generating stations]: [Amendments Nos. 122 to 127 not moved.] Clause 15 agreed to. Clause 16 [Electric lines]: [Amendment No. 128 not moved.]
