Clause 1
Sustainable Communities Bill
10:15 am
Julia Goldsworthy (Shadow Chief Secretary To the Treasury, Treasury; Falmouth and Camborne, Liberal Democrat)
I welcome the news that the Minister has not tabled amendments to try to wreck the Bill and I have listened carefully to his explanation of the logic behind them. However, if he were being logical, he would have tabled amendments that incorporate the Government’s own definition of sustainability. Their website states:
“For communities to be sustainable, they must offer: decent homes at prices people can afford, good public transport, schools, hospitals, shops”
and
“a clean, safe environment.”
I do not see how subsection (2) contradicts any of those aims.
