Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

I tried to explain when I made my opening remarks that that is an important feature, which is likely to become increasingly important, of the UK's overall energy supply and energy security. It is not a devolved function. That is why we have taken the view, after quite detailed discussions between the Welsh Assembly Government, the Welsh Office and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, that that is the approach that we should take and that it is consistent with the devolution settlement.
