Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parish Councils (Planning).


Parish Councils (Planning)

The hon. Gentleman has been generous in giving way. He is in the middle of an extremely impressive speech, which resonates with anyone who understands the countryside. Time and again parish councillors tell me that more people who are involved in the community and who have a great deal to offer would stand if they felt that the decisions of the parish council were listened to by, for example, planning authorities. They tell me that time and again what they say is ignored.
