Baroness Parminter (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

My Lords, given that I was so brief at the beginning, I will not speak for long now. It has been helpful to have from the Minister clarification that irreplaceable habitats will not be included because they could not be satisfied in the overall improvement test. However, I hear very much what the noble Baroness, Lady Young of Old Scone, said, which is, if that is what the Government are saying, why can it not be in the Bill? So I will go away and discuss the matter with my noble friend Lord Russell, and we may revert to this on Report. With that, I beg leave to withdraw.
