Business question from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 January 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I was pleased to hear the Leader of the House confirm my constituents’ concerns about the democratic deficit in respect of quangos and regional assemblies. With that in mind, may we have an urgent debate about how the East of England Development Agency can propose thousands of new homes in my constituency when my council has no right to oppose such development? As we do not have enough water for our existing houses, how can more houses be imposed on us?
