Growth and Infrastructure Bill

Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Growth and Infrastructure Bill.

I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Lady’s flow to pick her up on a minute, but nevertheless important, point for those of us who love the English language. She will no doubt respond that this is purely a drafting error, but new clause 5 states:

“The purpose of the planning system is to positively promote the long term”.

In other words, there is a split infinitive written into her new clause. Does she approve of that, or would she like to change it on reflection?
