Debate

Holocaust Memorial Bill

Contribution

We are attempting to create a system whereby objectors and supporters will be placed at a peculiar disadvantage. I do not think that we should have a two-tier system. We need to be very cautious about these things. Take all the questions around flooding and the like. Flooding was addressed solidly by the planning inspector, and all of these things should rightly be decided by a planning inspector, who can balance them not through absolute decisions and not by, if we are being really blunt—I apologise for saying this—near neighbours.
