The Garden Grabbing Bill which dozens of people showed their support for during a recent wave of marches held in South West Surrey looks set to have its second hearing postponed yet again.The Protection of Private Gardens (Housing Development) Bill, promoted by Greg Clark MP, has attracted a wealth of support from across the UK with thousands of people having written in to their MPs demanding that the Bill be debated. But it is feared that the Bill will fail to be debated yet again this Friday as it is listed as item 35 on the Order Paper.Jeremy Hunt said: “The Government must give MPs the chance to debate this bill and to strengthen the protection of our green spaces. Instead it is doing all within its power to stop the Bill proceeding through parliament. “It is one thing not to agree with Greg Clark's Bill - but they should at least have the courage to face a proper parliamentary debate. This is a slap in the face for all the people who marched through Farnham, Godalming and Haslemere on September 30th.”The Protection of Private Gardens (Housing Development) Bill is calling for private gardens to be reclassified as Greenfield sites as opposed to Brownfield sites, a definition which they are currently assigned. It is hoped this reclassification will prevent the trend of ‘garden-grabbing’ which is seeing towns like Godalming, Haslemere and Farnham permanently scarred by overdevelopment.Parliamentary system - backgroundItems which appear a long way down the Daily Order Paper are often not heard due to time constraints. If the Bill is not debated, it can be passed without debate so long as there are no objections. It is common perception that if the Government do not want something to be passed, the Whips will ensure someone from their side of the House objects.The MP who tabled the Bill can then either choose to have it allocated to another day and hope it appears further up the order paper or they can choose to drop the bill completely.This Friday represents the third time in which the Protection of Private Gardens (Housing Development) Bill has been rescheduled for its Second Reading. It first appeared for the Second Reading on May 12, then again on July 14. However on both occasions it was postponed.
