My right hon. and learned Friend will know that, from the time I was the shadow Housing Minister 15 to 20 years ago, to the Building Beautiful, Building Better Commission and now the Office For Place, I have emphasised exactly what she has just described.

Will she ensure that local authorities are fully informed of their ability to turn down an application for housing purely on design and scale terms?
