Proceeding contribution from Mark Prisk (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

To return to the excellent point made by the hon. Member for Sherwood (Paddy Tipping), who will be in charge? For example, if there was a proposal to build an eco-town in Salford, the Homes and Communities Agency established by the Government might say, ““This is a very good idea””, but the IPC might say, ““No, this is a poor idea.”” Given how the Bill is drafted, is not the truth of the matter that in the end the Minister will be pulling the strings from behind the scenes?
