Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I confess that it may be the will of the Committee—it is certainly my fervent hope—that we bring this back on Report. In that case, I would seek to amend part of Amendment 222 to ensure that the definition is of a relevant authority—which is the planning authority, within the terms of the existing legislation. I had attempted to set that out here but failed on this occasion.
