I support new clause 39, because we should not be putting solar farms on all our agricultural land across the country. I do mind about that, even if it is only 1%, as the Minister and a number of Labour Members have made out—1% is 1% too much. Of course, I support solar panels, but why not put them on the roofs of new houses and factories? [Hon. Members: “We are.”] They are not. I did not see the Government coming forward to support the sunshine Bill—the New Homes (Solar Generation) Bill—which was a private Member’s Bill about putting solar panels on new houses, so we will not take any lectures from the Labour party on that.
