Motion Text
That this House notes with concern the report in The Guardian of 19 January 2011 that the solicitors Carter Ruck threatened the Soil Association with libel proceedings in order to bully the Association into withdrawing its objection to a planning application and considers that this presents a seriousthreat to the operation of the planning process in a free and democratic society; and therefore calls on the Government to investigate the role of the firm Carter Ruck with a view to preventing any further interventions of this nature by this firm.
