Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government White Paper.
Local Government White Paper
Having spent 36 years in local government, I welcome any attempt by any Government to give back to local government the role it deserves. The Secretary of State made some interesting points, but will she explain what powers she has to ensure that minimum standards are met, and who will set the criteria? Will she ensure that responsibility is backed up with resources, and will she give a commitment that objectors as well as the promoters of applications will have a right to appeal?
