Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 October 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I think we are all keen on growth and on housing. I heard an impassioned speech recently by another Minister in the Labour Government about the need for housing for communities and families, and for children who live in substandard or overcrowded conditions who do not have a home of their own and whose development is suffering as a result. Getting good-quality, affordable housing is really important for our communities, but this amendment could have several downsides.
