Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
Is the right hon. Gentleman not concerned by some of the unprecedented powers of the commission, including powers to ““apply, modify or exclude”” provisions in primary legislation and to amend, repeal or revoke local Acts? The reason given in clause 105 is that that should happen when it is ““expedient””. Does he not worry about that lack of democratic accountability?
