Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

The Bill is not just about housing; it also quite rightly covers critical infrastructure, key to improving the supply side of our economy. When the current Chancellor took office, she made a political choice to cancel a number of infrastructure projects that would have strengthened this economy. Instead, she redirected funding towards public sector pay. We believe that this decision revealed her priorities and underlines the need for a clear, long-term vision in this country for infrastructure.
