Housing and Planning Bill

Debate between Lord Kennedy of Southwark and Baroness Lister of Burtersett

Monday 14th March 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Kennedy of Southwark]

I get that point, but it is a bit odd that the Bill before us refers to incomes of £30,000 and £40,000, but in her argument the Minister uses an income of £50,000.

[Baroness Lister of Burtersett]

The Minister may be coming to this but I asked—as I did at Second Reading and am still waiting for the answer—why the threshold has been reduced from that used in the voluntary scheme.

What amendment is the Minister speaking to? I do not think we have got to these amendments yet. The noble Lord, Lord Bassam, has only had his own amendments.

[Lord Kennedy of Southwark]

I think there is a typo. We are on the wrong clause.
