The Deputy Speaker (Lord Beith) (LD)
Amendment 32A is a manuscript amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Hogan-Howe. It is quite long, so I do not propose to read it out unless any noble Lord wishes that to be done. I invite the noble Lord to move the amendment.
Amendment 32A
Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)
My Lords, I am not sure whether we are actually debating this or not, because I do not think the chair has put it to us. However, I will say in one sentence that both the noble Lord, Lord Hogan-Howe, and the noble Lord, Lord, Lord Udny-Lister, have a point that this is an important provision. We should be building into planning legislation —into licensing legislation—arrangements to design out terrorism and, I would go further, to design out crime.
I hope that the Minister will be able to say in reply that that is something the Government will bring forward in another way, at another time.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Beith) (LD)
The noble Lord has correctly picked up on my error. The matter is before the House and the amendment has been moved.
