Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Excerpts

Monday 10th March 2014 Lords Chamber

[The Chairman of Committees]

My Lords, it is fair to say that in planning issues, under which I include the aesthetic dimension, the key player is Westminster City Council. Having dealt with the internal decision-making of your Lordships’ House for some time, which is on occasion somewhat Byzantine, I do not wish to speculate on the internal decision-making of Westminster City Council.

[Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab)]

So, my Lords, it would appear that there is something to be said for health and safety. Will the Chairman of Committees convey to the Clerk of the Parliaments that this House will be right behind him when he comes to make that decision?

[The Chairman of Committees]

I think the noble Lord has already conveyed that.
