Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Businesses and the Regions.


Businesses and the Regions

My hon. Friend is being very generous with his time. He has illustrated that the RDAs have struggled to cope with the economic agenda that they have been given, but they have been given additional things to do, because of the failure of the regional assemblies and regional government, and have now been tossed the bone of new planning powers. Has my hon. Friend found any RDA that welcomes the new opportunity that it has been given?
