Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) 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

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that there is a certain irony in the fact that Westminster City council will be the first in Britain to reach the decent homes standard? Does not that show a change of heart? Secondly, I want to return to his point about whether people support their local council or the London Mayor having planning powers. I think that the survey referred to earlier was an NOP survey commissioned by London Councils, which showed that"““54 per cent. of Londoners oppose plans to award the Mayor of London extra powers to decide planning applications across the capital””."
