Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Planning Bill.
I note that my hon. Friend has tabled a number of amendments on the role of the decision maker. The issue is whether the Secretary of State or the IPC makes the final decision. As the Secretary of State has made clear, the Bill prescribes certain circumstances in which she can take the final decision, but does my hon. Friend think that an application for judicial review will be almost inevitable every time the Secretary of State declines to take that decision, which will slow down the big infrastructure projects that we are seeking to speed up?
