Earl Attlee: My Lords, where in the order does it say that days, not weeks or hours, are involved?
Lord Filkin: My Lords, without detaining the noble Earl further by flicking through the order for some minutes, I shall give him an authoritative response by writing to him to explain the provenance of the unit.
I thank the noble Lord, Lord Bradshaw, for his support. I note his point about the use of emergency powers in this respect. The Government are alive to the potential risks in that regard. We can look forward to some interesting debates when we begin to get evidence about the first charging systems and the two pilot trials. I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Peyton of Yeovil, will be in his place for those debates—he is one of the House's great experts on the matter. I commend the order to the House.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
Street Works (Charges for Occupation of the Highway) (England) Regulations 2001
Lord Filkin: My Lords, I beg to move.
Moved, That the draft regulations laid before the House on 21st November be approved [11th Report from the Joint Committee].—(Lord Filkin.)
On Question, Motion agreed to.
- House adjourned at seventeen minutes past nine o'clock.
