Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2025
Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
On Amendment 317, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, I reassure him that the regulation-making powers in Clause 71, in line with wider precedents, are framed around indicative lists to demonstrate how the powers may be used, so we feel comfortable that the scope of this power is already sufficient to allow for the appropriate management of any unspent funds, as well as to deal with refunds in the event of overpayments. With those explanations, I ask noble Lords not to press their amendments.
