Proceeding contribution from Joan Walley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill (ways and means)

This is a little like having the winding-up speeches before the debate has started, but, in anticipation that there might not be much time to set out the arguments for sustainable development, may I ask the Minister, given what he has said, whether he agrees that there is no substitute for writing sustainable development into legislation? Here we are, yet we do not have the details of the statement that will come out next week or later, so how can we ensure that sustainable development is written into the legislation? Is not that the most important aspect of this exercise?
