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

Planning Bill

Indeed. In fact, under the Bill, people will have three opportunities to have a say. At the moment they have only one chance, at the inquiry. Under the Bill, they will have an opportunity when the national policy statement is being drawn up; a second opportunity because the developer has to consult the community when he or she introduces a proposal; and a third opportunity when we get to the inquiry itself. Far from reducing the public's voice, the Bill will provide a stronger voice, so that they can have their say.
