Planning and Energy Bill

A business in my constituency used to engage in the off-site fabrication of housing components, which could have high specifications for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and all the other desirable features to which my hon. Friend has referred. It lacked the drive from the registered social landlord sector to get the business that it needed to sustain its activity on a long-term basis, and it has unfortunately had to consolidate its activities into the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Livingston (Mr. Devine).
