Proceeding contribution from Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.
Planning Bill
Does my hon. Friend share my chief concern that the RDAs, which report to the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, have a primary focus on economic development, rather than the wider issues of sustainability and housing development, so their priorities will differ from those of other organisations? Does he also share my concern that there are currently no satisfactory accountability processes for RDAs? In theory, that takes place through the regional Ministers, but although they are in place, there is no way to hold the RDAs to account.
