My hon. Friend is absolutely right about protecting the green belt and I welcome the Bill that my hon. Friend Dr Spencer is promoting. However, is my hon. Friend Mr Mohindra shocked, as I am, that although the Liberal Democrats have constantly berated the Government for trying to destroy the green belt and for not building enough housing, today, when we are debating this very important issue that concerns so many of our constituents, there is not a single Liberal Democrat MP in this Chamber? It is, in fact, the Conservative Government and Conservative Members who are so determined to build more homes and protect the green belt.
