Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.
National Planning Policy Framework
Let me say in a supportive way that we could have all the consultation in the world, but at the end of the day Ministers have to be brave, and that goes for every Minister I have known in my 30 years in this House. On the one hand, people want to protect their environment. On the other, 7 million people in this country need to be in decent housing, and there would be £2.5 billion-worth of infrastructure ready to be built—even for energy from waste—if the Government gave the go-ahead.
