Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

Is not one of the problems with the numerous interventions that we have had the fact that we assume that we have a perfect system? We forget that planning inspectorates, the Government office for London and the regional housing board—and, dare I say, the Secretary of State—can call in applications, although they are unaccountable. If people have local concerns, is it not better that they feed those into the London plan so that when the Mayor calls things in, he will be accountable to the plan that we have all fed into?
