Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.


Localism Bill

When the draft NPPF was issued for consultation, did the Government seek to change what had hitherto been the balance between the various components of sustainable development at that stage? Was it the Government’s intent to place greater emphasis on economic growth at the expense of the others? I do not assert that that is where the Government may end up, but obviously there was great concern from the wording of the document that that was the intention at that stage. Can the noble Baroness dispel that concern, or is it a real issue?
