Proceeding contribution from Baroness Whitaker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

I support both amendments on similar arguments to those of my noble friend Lord Howarth, that these green spaces are an essential part of the well-being which homes need to produce. Just as it should be the responsibility of the Homes and Communities Agency to ensure good design in order that homes should induce well-being, so it should have a complementary responsibility to maintain green spaces for the same purpose.
