Former Conservative MP for Worthing West
I think the whole House wishes that the Secretary of State was able to be with us. He is one of the people who has helped to move this forward, together with the junior Minister.

If people say that it is only 7.5% of the park gardens that will be used, it is 27% or more of the green space; those who use the 7.5% figure should revise that and ask who is giving them that advice. If people say that those who want to...
rose—
On a point of order, Sir Roger. There are only two minutes left, and I had hoped to wind up the debate.
On that point, will the Minister give way?
