Paul Holmes

Conservative — Hamble Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 June 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I will briefly, but he will let me finish this point. The proposals have been put forward by all parties to ensure that the legislation is better and more efficient, but fundamentally serves the people who send us here and who want to see differences in the way in which their country is run. We argue that this legislation does not do that, we argue that this is a massive centralising overreach advocated by the Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister, and we stand fundamentally against it.
