Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I am not familiar with the proposals for that mosque, but I am familiar with proposals for mosques more widely. The hon. Gentleman will know that mosques have to go through proper planning procedures, like any other application for a building, and if he feels that that application should not be dealt with locally, he—or the local authority—should ask my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to call in the plan. I am not sure that a debate would be appropriate.
