Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Communities Bill.
Sustainable Communities Bill
Does my hon. Friend agree that the Bill also potentially dismisses democratically elected local government? One of the fundamental flaws in the Bill is the fact that it refers to approval of a spending plan but does not define what a sustainable community is. In my constituency, which has two major towns and a plethora of small villages and hamlets, defining what is a sustainable community would lead to a lot of competition between different areas.
