Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Local Government.


Local Government

The Minister appears to be waving this off as if the Government are not supposed to be taking any view on it and are just blithely accepting the say-so of the county council, yet they set the criteria against which these applications should be judged, and clearly criterion No. 2 falls almost by his own admission. He cannot wash his hands of this. At the end of the day, he is making the decision and needs to be responsible for it.
