Energy Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Purvis of Tweed (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Bill [HL].

I hope that the Minister will forgive me for bringing him back to the issue of planning. Just after he received clarification from the Box, I took the opportunity of looking again at page 57 of the Conservative Party manifesto, which says that they would,

“change the law so that local people have the final say on windfarm applications”.

The Minister confirmed at the Dispatch Box a few moments ago that that was not the case. The current practice of developers being able to appeal to the planning inspectorate will carry on, so that is not being implemented. Is that true?
