Planning Bill

My Lords, I enthusiastically support the amendments. The noble Viscount used some very important terminology, including ““evidence””, ““test”” and ““witness””. ““Evidence”” is not just more or bigger representation; it is qualitatively quite different and it is proper that it should be tested. Witnesses are not just more people making representations. They speak to the evidence. There is little more that I can add, but the brevity of my remarks is qualitatively different from their strength.
