    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Thank you, Chair. Cruel fate has dictated that I lead on this as well! I am very grateful for your opening comments. Can you tell us what progress you have made in your discussions with the boroughs in particular on how they might be affected, particularly on the planning powers?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
