Localism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 7 July 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Localism Bill.

The noble Lord is quite right: there is no reference to the NPPF in the Bill. The Government have no intention at this stage to include it in the Bill, but we will listen to any argument that the noble Lord puts forward and consider the matter. However, it is not the Government’s intention to produce an amendment to put a reference to the NPPF in the Bill.
