Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 November 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

No one is keener on bowling greens than I am, and I understand the concern that the hon. Gentleman has expressed. Listening to his question, I would have thought that if a pub wanted to convert a bowling green into a development, that would require planning consent from the local authority, which should be a precaution against the trend that he has outlined. However, may I suggest that he apply for a debate on bowling greens in Westminster Hall, so that all who share his enthusiasm for the sport can join him in expressing their concern?
