Proceeding contribution from John Robertson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
I wonder if I might tweak the hon. Gentleman's memory and take him back to the Planning Act 1990, introduced by his own party, which allowed the Secretary of State to call in any planning application. The Secretary of State had sole discretion to decide what would happen. Does he agree that what my right hon. Friend is proposing is slightly better than leaving it to one person to make that decision?
