Birmingham City Council (19 Sep 2023)

Michael Gove: I am grateful to the hon. Lady for that and I had the great privilege of visiting Bath recently to look at a housing development. Just as some Labour councils are good, I believe there are one or two Liberal Democrat councils that are good, although I certainly shall not be naming them at this Dispatch Box now. More broadly, we are taking steps to deal with the audit situation she mentions...

Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Topical Questions (27 Mar 2023)

Michael Gove: ...I can offer is that we will be out of the customs union and out of the single market, and that as a result we will be able to take our place as an independent free trading nation. Businesses in Bath and elsewhere know what it is that they need to do. That is certainty. It is very different from the proposition that the Liberal Democrats put forward at the last general election, which was a...

Michael Gove: I am fortunate enough to have had a number of discussions with my hon. Friend the Member for Bath, and one of the points that he has made to me is that although many people working in the network and the infrastructure are doing a fantastic job, which I happily acknowledge-I am glad to have the opportunity this debate affords me to stress that-it is also the case that the quality of delivery...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Schools White Paper (24 Nov 2010)

Michael Gove: ...progressive and imaginative figures in local government are Liberal Democrat councillors.

Business of the House: Free Schools Policy (21 Jun 2010)

Michael Gove: ...am grateful to my hon. Friend for his point. I know that he, as someone who used to lead for the Liberal Democrats on education, is particularly concerned about the impact of changes on his area of Bath and North East Somerset.

Michael Gove: ...view, but when that decision is taken, it is not taken in a formal way with the Mayor explaining in public to those most affected why he has come to that decision.

He can make it while he is shaving, in the stands at Craven Cottage or anywhere he likes and then deliver himself of that judgment by posting up on the internet what view he has reached....

Housing (Overcrowding) (28 Mar 2006)

Michael Gove: The hon. Lady sets two challenges. The first is that density need not mean constriction or high-rise developments. That is certainly true. We know from Edinburgh, Bath and indeed Islington that housing can be both dense and attractive. Unfortunately, the melancholy trend at the moment is towards densification through the replacement of family houses that have green spaces with flatted...
