Growth and Infrastructure Bill

Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Growth and Infrastructure Bill.

Will the Secretary of State reassure my constituents, many of whom have fought hard for traditional community and village greens? He will know that some of the developers are absolutely ruthless. In Huddersfield, a company called Padico has bought up bankrupt stock and then spent enormous amounts of money trying to reverse a High Court decision about a village green. He knows how ruthless some of the developers are, so will he say whether our traditional village greens will be more vulnerable as a result of this Bill?
