Proceeding contribution from Robert Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
My hon. Friend is absolutely right for two reasons. First, the power to set up the corporation is devolved, and a directly elected regional figure, in the shape of the Mayor, takes that decision. Secondly, there is the veto, which did not exist in relation to the other, earlier-style development corporations. There is therefore a significantly enhanced degree of accountability.
