News Release 2nd March 2006PLANNING DEBATEYesterday, Wednesday March 1st, Michael Fabricant opened a major debate on Government planning policy and on how it affects Market and Historic Towns and Cathedral Cities like Lichfield. A link to the full text of the debate, as recorded by Hansard, is provided below. After opening the debate, other MPs participate, and at the very end, the Minister for Housing and Planning, Yvette Cooper, winds up. Michael Fabricant now says: "I regret that the four questions I posed to the minister were not answered despite my giving her prior notice of these questions. The planning authorities of small towns like Lichfield and Burntwood will be given no comfort by her reply. As I said in my speech, the Government are the stewards of our built environment for future generations. I fear that Prescott and his team are just not prepared to protect our small towns and cathedral cities." To read the full debate, click here |
