Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025
Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
However, in his Amendment 52, the noble Lord proposes that each order determining an application to be a critical national priority must be presented to Parliament in a full public Bill. Paragraph 3 of the proposed new schedule in this amendment then details a petitioning process, a counterpetitioning process and a reporting process. The other parts of this very long amendment provide a highly detailed process of how that Bill would progress through a Joint Committee and then complete its passage. I share the view of the noble Baroness, Lady Pinnock, that it might receive better scrutiny in the Lords.
