Sustainable Communities Bill

I commend the promoter of the Bill. He has waxed lyrical and I have no reason to take up much of the House’s time. I have attached my name to the new clause and I know that the spirit behind it is shared by the hon. Member for Falmouth and Camborne (Julia Goldsworthy). As the Bill’s promoter rightly said, we have taken an awful lot of time over the Bill. I think it is fair to say that, in recent weeks, I have seen more of him and the hon. Member for Falmouth and Camborne than I have of my family. I have also seen a lot of the hon. Member for West Ham (Lyn Brown) and the Minister, and it is good to see Ron Bailey in his Box. Perhaps some of us will want to keep him in his Box.
