Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding.
Flooding
Although the review is going to look into many things—some of which we have added in the course of these questions—I do not think that the whole future of our planning policy ought to be part of that. It should be recognised that we have already given the Environment Agency a strong position in the process, and that ultimately, the Secretary of State has the power to call in proposals, having regard to the advice that the Environment Agency gives.
