I fully support amendment 74, and I am surprised that the Government are not supporting it. They have made a number of announcements about “brownfield first”, so why have they not put that in legislation? Why do they not accept this amendment and put that in the Bill if they are so determined to protect our green belt? I am hesitant about saying that, because I do not think they are determined to protect it. I do not think the Government care about the green belt in this country, because if they did, they would amend the Bill to safeguard the green belt and make development “brownfield first”.
