Debate between Roberta Blackman-Woods and Lord Maude of Horsham

Monday 26th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Maude]

I very much agree with my hon. Friend. That is the spirit in which we shall approach these discussions.

[Roberta Blackman-Woods (City of Durham) (Lab)]

Given the Minister’s comments on transparency, is he aware that my office has been trying to get details from the Department for Communities and Local Government about who Ministers have been meeting in the run-up to the national planning policy framework? We have been told consistently that that information is not available and has not been since June 2011. In the light of what has happened in the past few days, will the Minister undertake to ensure that all details of DCLG’s ministerial meetings are made available before the NPPF is published tomorrow?

[Mr Maude]

Yes, Sir.
