Proceeding contribution from Ian Liddell-Grainger (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on National Parks in England.
National Parks in England
I do not disagree with any of that. The problem is quite simple, that the pressure on local schools, shops, pubs and services in Exmoor is now acute because the population is getting older and older, local people cannot afford to buy and there is no chance of local houses being built. I think that the Exmoor national park authority built 15 houses last year; it will never be able to build enough houses to deal with this problem. Unless the Government can give some form of push on this issue, I do not see any other way of getting round the problem.
