Planning Bill

My Lords, it may be my fault, but I fail to understand the noble Lord’s point about the approval of the House of Commons. The Bill sets out in clear detail the way in which the national policy statements must be arrived at. I understand the noble Lord to say that if there was a flaw in the procedure, that could not be challenged in court if it had been approved by the House of Commons. I do not understand that. I understand the noble Lord’s concerns about judicial review, but I do not see the argument that this will avoid judicial review.
