I have today laid before the House a copy of the Planning Inspectorate's annual report and accounts for 2003–04.
The report gives an overview of the performance of the inspectorate and highlights the ways in which it is contributing to the Government's planning reform agenda. It demonstrates the importance of a credible, accessible planning tribunal service which is open, transparent and impartial.
