Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

It is still not too late to excise Part 3 from the record, and with only four days allocated on Report in October, that would make our job much easier. The assertion yesterday at the Dispatch Box by the noble Lord, Lord Livermore, that this planning reform is going to speed up building is a confidence trick. I welcome Amendment 346E, as far as it goes, but it needs to go much further in contemplating the “how” as well as the “what” if we are not to stymie growth until the next Parliament.
