Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on National Planning Policy Framework.


National Planning Policy Framework

In the end, I am a committed localist. I believe in consultation and taking account of the wishes of local communities. All localists—not just Ministers—face a challenge: if the sum total of local decisions does not add up to the national requirements on issues such as climate change or the number of homes, what should the Government do about it?
