Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning Bill.

Planning Bill

Is this not almost déjà vu for the right hon. Gentleman? He dealt with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 for the Government when I was the Opposition spokesman, and he will recall that that Act exempted Crown exemptions, so that the Crown now has to apply for planning permission. Does he not think that these utilities should be treated in the same way so that when large infrastructure is involved—such as the example from his constituency—they ought to have to seek planning permission?
