Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 July 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

My amendment would set up a whistleblowing and oversight body for nationally significant infrastructure projects. It would have the necessary expertise to receive whistleblower disclosures, to protect whistleblowers from detriment and to investigate. What is in place today is the same whistleblowing framework that allowed Grenfell, the Elizabeth line and HS2 to happen, and there are many more examples all over the country of failures covered up and whistleblowers silenced, including school, hospital and housing projects.
