HL Deb 20 March 1990 vol 517 cc307-8WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Property Services Agency, when privatised, will enjoy any derogations from planning law.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment (Lord Hesketh)

No. The planning law applies to the client for building works, not to the consultant who advises him, and PSA will be in the same position as any other consultant.
