Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Amendment 49 is reasonable, and then we get to Amendment 52—wow. The noble Viscount, Lord Hanworth, seemed to be in support of this. I used to live outside Andover, so I know very well the A303 to which he refers and the issues about Stonehenge. I am also conscious that National Highways is formally obliged to put in place diversion routes that have the equivalent of A road status, which often leads to ridiculous diversions—but they are appreciated by people living in villages off these main roads.
