Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Bill.

Planning-gain Supplement (Preparations) Bill

The Minister talks about the regularity and propriety of payments. This is just a paving Bill, but, as I understand it, the intention is that the supplement raised by the Treasury would be filtered back, via the Scottish Executive, to local authorities in Scotland, in one proportion or another. Why have the Scottish Executive been inserted into the loop when, at the moment, the local authorities simply collect their money? Why, under the new regime, do the Government not collect the money and simply pay it directly to the local authorities? Why have the Scottish Executive been inserted into the mechanism?
