Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

I am interested in the hon. Lady's views and I am listening to her with great attention. Does she not feel that her proposals are a recipe for institutionalised impasse? Having served on such benign bodies as the London Ecology Committee, the London Waste Regulation Authority and the London fire and civil defence authority, I know that it is almost impossible to get all the boroughs to agree. Therefore, if one borough has a de facto veto, there would never be any major progress on housing and regeneration across Greater London.
