Clause 14
Housing and Regeneration Bill
4:00 pm
Andrew Love (Edmonton, Labour)
I urge the hon. Gentleman to be careful about using emotive words. My concern relates not just to this amendment, but to others that we have debated. There seems to be a competition between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats to see who can be most slavishly loyal to the local community. Can he see any circumstances in which the local opinion of which he is so supportive might not be appropriate? If we look back a long time to when his party was last in government, it rode over any local opinion in relation to setting up out-of-town shopping centres.
