Proceeding contribution from Wayne David (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Communities Bill.


Sustainable Communities Bill

Precisely. My hon. Friend pre-empts my conclusion. That is one of the inherent contradictions in the small detail of the Bill. It talks the talk—the rhetoric is in place. We are all behind the idea of empowerment, devolution and involvement, but in the detail the Bill sets out an extremely bureaucratic and, yes, centralising proposal that will curb, stifle and thwart local empowerment and involvement.
