Part of Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 4:00 pm ar 20 Ionawr 2005.
I will not go through the answers point by point, as time is short. I understand the Minister's point on amendment No. 85. The clause states:
''Consent need not be given to any applicant''.
Is the Minister is saying that these things will be proportionate and will not encourage councils to say that someone who has done something once, for pocket money, will not be able to earn pocket money occasionally again because they were in the wrong before? Does the Minister expect councils to be sensible and proportionate?
