Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

The Under-Secretary comes out with fine phrases, but the reality on the ground is different. Local authorities find themselves unable to challenge housing allocations, which regional assemblies and regional spatial strategies hand down. It seems likely that the HCA will be capable of issuing the same sort of downward edict, to use the phrase of my hon. Friend the Member for Montgomeryshire (Lembit Öpik).
