Proceeding contribution from Lord Sharma (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.


National Planning Policy Framework

I am delighted that the right hon. Gentleman agrees with much of what my right hon. Friend the Minister has said. The right hon. Gentleman is implying that there was a golden age of sustainable planning under the Labour party, but clearly that was not the case. Does he agree that reducing the planning policy document from 1,000 pages to fewer than 100 pages will be good news for encouraging what we all want to see—more sustainable development in this country?
