Proceeding contribution from Bill Wiggin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Contaminated Brownfield Sites.
Contaminated Brownfield Sites
: The Minister has just identified what he thinks the problem is, but I have been imagining what it must be like to live in Littleport. What the Minister says is not right. I agree that when it is determined that there are bad things in the soil in different places, there will be different levels of those bad things and they will have a different impact in each place. However, I disagree with him on this point. What is the point in having guidelines on what that may or may not be harmful to people's health that might not be understood properly or might be used in such a way that they have a negative impact on people's sense of well-being or the value of their property—which in this country is probably the most significant investment that anyone can make?
