Baroness Young of Old Scone (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

My Lords, briefly, I support Amendment 242 in the name of the noble Earl, Lord Russell, so ably introduced by the noble Baroness, Lady Parminter. I know that Ministers have said that it is not intended that irreplaceable habitats should be included in EDPs, but the amendment places that assurance clearly in the Bill. Given the Government’s stated intention, I urge the Minister to say why the amendment should not be accepted.
