Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 26 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (Amendment) Bill.

Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (Amendment) Bill

I understand the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch (Mr. Chope), but I hope this provision will allow the Government and Secretary of State to have greater flexibility in handling existing proposals, which should help them to decide on some of them more quickly. My hon. Friend makes a fair point, as some proposals have been on the books for a long time, and the Government have been pressed on that on a number of occasions, but I hope giving this flexibility might address the problem.
