Chamber meeting date: 16 September 2026
Monica Lennon (Glasgow) (Lab): "I hear what the minister says about increasing strategic oversight for the Government and giving more control to ministers, but can she explain why no guidance exists for planning authorities, which have been having to deal with such applications up until now? In the absence of such guidance, there has been no comfort or certainty for communities."
