Greater London Authority Bill

That rather farcical illustration was of about the same calibre as the hon. Gentleman’s earlier intervention, in which he seemed to suggest that there was a potential risk of section 106 powers being taken from boroughs and used by the Mayor.

Where are the section 106 sums that can come only with the granting of planning permission?
