I recognise what the hon. Member for Henley and Thame (Freddie van Mierlo) said about new clause 22. My big concern is that forcing change—compulsory purchase being one such example—does not change behaviour. That is something we have seen before. As the subject of Conservative leaflets that said I was going to run ULEZ in Northampton during the election, I know it is something that can become weaponised when we try to force it through, rather than bringing communities along with us. I do not think the approach that has been set out today is the right one, but I look forward to hearing further debate on that.
