Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Amendments 87A and 87B in the name of my noble friend Lady Coffey raise important points about the core purpose of the Forestry Commission. Amendment 87A seeks to clarify that the commission’s duties under Section 1(2) are considered secondary to its primary role, which is the planting of trees and serving as a sustainable source of timber.
