Christmas Adjournment

Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 December 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Christmas Adjournment.
My hon. Friend is absolutely correct, and the sympathy of the House is with him on the issue, because everything in the system is geared for people who wish to rape the countryside—that is what we are talking about—and it works at the expense of the people who live there. Does he agree that there ought to be a better balance, so that local people and organisations are listened to, and does he agree that the power of appeal should be taken away from people who want only to make money from the application?
