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

The hon. Gentleman has asked that question a number of times. It would be part and parcel of any decision on whether to go ahead. It is clearly not a decision that we have been able or ready to take, so there is no answer to that question. We have said clearly that it will be levied at a modest rate that will not create disincentives for the sale and development of land but could raise additional revenues that would support the development and infrastructure that is necessary if we want to see the development, particularly of housing, that this country badly needs. The hon. Gentleman said that I was winding up, but I am actually just warming up because there are one or two other points with which I should deal.
