Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 October 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

In summary, it is not a ban on solar. Well over half the land in this country would still be available for it under NSIP, just not the 42% that most reliably feeds us. I am trying to strike the right balance between food security and energy security, as well as the security of the democratic process. That is why my amendment is important. I will listen very carefully to the debate, but I announce my intention to divide the House if I am not satisfied. I beg to move.
