Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 8 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Green Energy (Definition and Promotion) Bill.
Green Energy (Definition and Promotion) Bill
Local residents are already concerned about the delegated powers that officers often use unless a development is called in by a local councillor. When this is discussed further, can we look carefully at the delegated powers that an officer already has and often uses? The information does not get out into the community and it does not know what is going on. We should let the councillors, not the officers, represent the people whom they are elected to represent.
