Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) 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

I echo the hon. Gentleman's points. What the Government are proposing will certainly improve a flawed system, but that system remains flawed and the concerns raised in this House and the other place about the Mayor's planning powers continue to be held. Regrettably, the amendments will not change that situation in any respect. We will not oppose them because they at least slightly improve the flawed system.
