Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 July 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

The Government’s working paper on streamlining infrastructure consenting recognises that Section 150 is definitely not working as intended and that there are significant delays to securing permits once a DCO is granted. Therefore, although we agree strongly with the intent behind this amendment, we do not agree that this is the best way of delivering on that. Indeed, only 16% of people who responded to our working paper voiced support for repealing Section 150.
