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
The hon. Gentleman is right that, rather than acting as a catalyst for popular involvement, the Bill presents an obstacle to the planning system's becoming more democratically accountable. However, it is worse than that. Does not the measure also transfer power away from the House—indeed, from the Executive, which is ironic? The Bill is fundamentally undemocratic and therefore virtually indefensible.
