Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) 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

My hon. Friend would probably accept that we as a Government generally have an open mind. I can give him the assurance, as I have tried to do already, that the matters about which he is concerned will be discussed, should we introduce any substantive legislation to follow a decision to introduce a planning-gain supplement. However, because of the devolved nature of the planning responsibilities in Scotland as part of the devolution settlement, we do not wish to dictate, and I am sure he is not arguing for the Government in Westminster to dictate, to Scotland how it should use the proceeds of any planning-gain supplement to support infrastructure that could help with development.
