Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 September 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

It should be noted that public land being managed by forestry authorities in Scotland is being used to generate renewable electricity at commercial scale, and these developments are subject to no such restriction. The authorities there have been trusted to develop renewable electricity projects on the land they manage, balancing conservation with the need to lower our national carbon emissions and combat climate change—one of the greatest threats to our precious environment.
