Localism Bill

Proceeding contribution from Graham P Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Localism Bill.
I thank the Minister for his intervention, but I think that his answer is more smoke and mirrors. I am asking where the judicial framework is, and his answer is that there is none, but there is a legal framework, within which we all operate. If that is the case, why do we have standards in public life? It is because that is a judicial element that governs and reflects the service that we all give—but we encounter problems when people make decisions that are not in the best public interest, but in their own personal or prejudicial interests.
