Planning Bill
12:00 pm
Jacqui Lait (Shadow Minister, Communities and Local Government; Beckenham, Conservative)
Welcome. I hope that you are pleased about the Government’s announcement earlier today on nuclear power. That will keep your industry going for some time to come. I do not know whether you have seen the statement, but it says that the Government will be inviting energy companies to put forward proposals for new power stations. This obviously affects your association. I wonder what you think about the policy statement process. We will keep the infrastructure planning commission out of it for the moment, but what, from your point of view, should be in the national policy statements?
