Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

“Consolidate the statutory duties, principles and codes of Defra regulators to a core set, reflecting the Government’s priorities and helping to provide discretion, e.g. a duty to deliver on/consider climate change/net zero. This will address the increase in regulator-specific and regulator-generic legal obligations and resulting ‘regulatory overload’ which has emerged over time”.
