Growth and Infrastructure Bill
Debate between Lord Pickles and Paul Burstow
Mr Pickles
I do not know about the curate’s egg, but I have always regarded local government as an omelette of happiness and consensus. I hope that by the time I sit down, I shall have spun together a dish that the hon. Gentleman can happily tuck into.
Mr Pickles
I will, of course, give way to the right hon. Gentleman on the matter of omelettes.
Paul Burstow
Can the Secretary of State explain why, even at this stage, it was not possible to provide an executive summary of the findings from the consultation? Why must the House wait until May to find out whether people are in favour of the proposal or against it?
