Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Greater London Authority Bill.


Greater London Authority Bill

The provisions in the Bill allow for the Mayor to get involved in major developments and applications that might have a wider, strategic significance. In the amendments, and in the Bill, we are keen to ensure that decisions are taken at the appropriate level, and that wherever appropriate local boroughs continue in their role as the planning authority. The amendments in this group, which we passed in the other place, strengthen that principle and put in place for the future a more balanced system that will serve London well.
