Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) 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 objection surely is that it should not be for the Scottish Executive to dictate to local Scottish councils how to use the money. The Government should not pass such an ill thought-through Bill, which effectively gives that power to the Scottish Executive without allowing local people and locally involved politicians to have their say on those matters, especially when, as several other Members have said, the measure is a blank cheque and we have no idea whether it will apply to 30, 50 or 100 per cent. of the money.
