Liberal Democrat MP Greg Mulholland (Leeds North West) has introduced the Sale of Green Belt Land Bill.

The Bill aims to outlaw land banking, the practice of buying up green belt and and  selling it on at a profit.

Introducing the Bill, Greg Mulholland said:

"All too often it is merely a get-rich scam that is being peddled by fly-by-night companies, set up to carry out the scurrilous process of land banking'."
