Lord Foster of Bath (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

As is the appropriate procedure at this stage, I will of course withdraw the amendment, but I can assure the Committee that it is my intention to return to this matter. It would be enormously helpful if, rather than this rather negative approach that we have heard from the Minister, he could agree—with at least a nod from a sedentary position—that, as a matter of urgency, a meeting will take place with myself and other relevant bodies to discuss this further so that we can make progress and achieve what the Prime Minister himself said only a few days ago he was desperately keen to achieve. I am still looking for a nod from a sedentary position. The Committee and others will note the absence of such a nod and, therefore, the apparent breach of the promise from the Prime Minister.
