§ Mr. YoungerAt present, when a local planning authority revokes or modifies a planning permission under the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1972, it needs the Secretary of State's approval for its action unless the order is not opposed and no compensation is involved. The effect of these amendments is to remove the need for the Secretary of State's consent where the revocation or modification is unopposed, even where compensation is involved. I hope that the House will accept them.
§ Question put and agreed to.
