Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.


Planning Bill

I am listening carefully to my right hon. Friend on this matter; I tabled amendments just to express concern and raise the issue. Is she saying that those transfers would be encouraged on a voluntary and agreeable basis, and that the power is one of absolute last resort, which the Secretary of State would use only in those circumstances?
