Clause 1 - Regional Spatial Strategy
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill
10:15 am
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
I have sympathy with the theory that the hon. Member for Ludlow is advancing, but I do not think that I can accept his amendments.
Amendment No. 131 would delete paragraph (1):
''For each region there is to be a regional spatial strategy (in this Part referred to as the ''RSS'').''
While I abhor the whole idea of regional planning, to delete the provision for a regional spatial strategy would be a nuclear option, and it would make a nonsense of the Bill.
