Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Thatched Roofs (Planning Policy).


Thatched Roofs (Planning Policy)

We are preserving not only the visual effect, but the method of construction and the materials used—traditional materials must be used as far as is practicable. I think that that is a sensible approach. It is extremely important that we preserve not only the visual appearance of a building, but its traditional construction. I am obviously not making myself clear, so I will give way again.
