Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords].


Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords]

Is it not a concern that, at an examination in public, Luton council, for example, could say, "Oh no, it is mad to do it in our area. The best way of doing it is to put it in Hertfordshire."? If the inspector nods in that direction, it becomes a way for a council to bounce a neighbouring authority and get out of its own obligations. That is not something to be encouraged.
