Debate between Simon Clarke and James Brokenshire

Monday 5th November 2018 Commons Chamber

[James Brokenshire]

I welcome the right hon. Gentleman’s positive outlook as we leave the European Union. We will deliver a positive Brexit, looking outwards into the world and at how we have trade deals in the future. We continue to engage with local councils to ensure that we deliver a smooth and effective Brexit.

[Mr Simon Clarke (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland) (Con)]

T8. Has my hon. Friend reviewed the better streets proposal from YIMBY and the Adam Smith Institute, which would allow residents of a single street to vote on giving themselves permitted development rights to build upwards to a maximum of six storeys and thereby address the housing crisis?
