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


Planning Bill

I have been listening carefully to the hon. Gentleman's contribution, and I am particularly interested in his comments on sustainable development. The Government have laid out their criteria for sustainable development, but they do not underpin this policy and there will not be a duty on the commission. Does he think that the Government would be open to judicial review on the grounds that their policy could easily be contradicted directly by the commission in practice?
