Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 24 April 2017 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Pubs

Question

The Minister has failed to mention what my office has been told by the Department, which is that the Neighbourhood Planning Bill is set to fall, so the change to pub protection it contains would not be made. Will he assure the House that that is not the case? That wonderful decision was supported on both sides of the House, and we need to make sure that the change goes through.

Answer

My understanding is that we hope to complete the passage of that legislation before the Dissolution of Parliament. The change he refers to has been broadly welcomed by very many people, including, of course, the hon. Gentleman, who campaigned for it.
