Localism Bill

My Lords, I am prepared to withdraw my amendment. I did not think I would get anywhere, but it is still very disappointing. The Minister said that the Government trust local councils to produce plans that will produce sustainable development, and so on. The truth of the matter is that no Government nowadays trust local councils at all unless they do what the Government or the inspector want, or follow the detailed rules and regulations. It is a very sad state of affairs, but it is clearly going to continue for some time. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 148ZZZZBB withdrawn. Amendments 148ZZZZBC to 148ZZZZBG not moved. Amendment 148ZZZZBH Moved by
