00:00Sir Jeremy Hunt.

00:02My constituent Steve Daly was charged £70,000 by Liberal Democrat Waverley Borough Council

00:08for the apparent crime of building a home extension.

00:11I met the Housing Minister earlier this year to talk about abuse of the community infrastructure levy.

00:16Could he update the House on his plans to stop it?

00:20I thank the Right Honourable Gentleman for that question.

00:22He knows that I agree that we have seen unintended consequences of the 2010 CIL regulations.

00:28They have unfairly penalised some home owners.

00:31I can only reiterate the commitments I gave him during that meeting.

00:34In principle, we are committed to finding a solution to this issue.

00:37I am more than happy to meet with him and update him on the steps we have made in the interim.

00:41The President.
