National Planning Policy Framework

Debate between Greg Clark and Lord Pickles

Tuesday 27th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Greg Clark]

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State is a twitcher of some renown and will be better placed than I to advise on whether this is a bird that enjoys protection and therefore whether the sites in which it nests enjoy the rigorous protections available.

[The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Mr Eric Pickles)]

indicated assent.

[Greg Clark]

I think the answer is yes.
