Wendy Morton

Conservative — Aldridge-Brownhills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 June 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

I share my hon. Friend’s frustrations with Natural England. Does he agree that it is a bit strange that we have a Government who say they want to reduce the number of quangos, but who have reduced it by one and introduced 27? In this Bill, they are giving more powers to an unelected quango, which risks doing further untold damage to our green fields, our open spaces and our farmland.
