Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

Of course it is perfectly possible for individuals and local communities to consider sustainable development needs, but it is not possible, and indeed not right, that within our democratic structure those decisions should be devolved to such a level. We need strategic planning on a national basis, and that cannot be provided by parish councillors.
