  • Devolution to the GLA and Boroughs (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    Minister, you have talked about devolution to the boroughs as a whole. Recently I read the suggestion by a former Parliamentary colleague, Rob Hayward [former Member of Parliament for Kingswood], that perhaps there are too many London boroughs; currently there are 32, and some of them are rather small. He said that he had been an advisor to the Secretary of State when he was in the Shadow Cabinet. Are you aware that your Department might be looking at reducing the number of London boroughs?

  • Planning (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    One historically controversial area has been the sale of school playing fields by local authorities for development. What sort of controls are you going to keep over that because the public do have some very strong feelings about it?
