Business question from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 31 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Given the bombshell in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Budget speech about sweeping away planning protections, our green spaces and green belt are now vulnerable to any developer. Can we have an urgent debate on this, because middle-class folk, and all classes, are very concerned about the threat to our green spaces and our green belt? We have the local elections on 5 May. Surely the Government should come clean on green belt and green space protection before people vote in those elections.
