Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.
Ways and Means
We have discussed this issue regularly over the past few years in proceedings on the Finance Bill and, from time to time, over breakfast, as the hon. Gentleman acknowledges. I understand that speeches have been made containing general statements about the support for house building and first-time buyers, but statements are also regularly made on the websites of the hon. Gentleman and his Front Bench colleagues that oppose house building in their own constituencies. Have those website references been removed or do his nimby tendencies continue to flourish in his constituency?
