Gideon Amos

Liberal Democrat — Taunton and Wellington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 March 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend and neighbour is absolutely right, and that is why the Liberal Democrats were the only party to put in our manifesto the funds needed for Natural England and the Environment Agency to address the challenges she rightly sets out. Lib Dem councils are also granting planning permissions, thousands of them—in my county of Somerset alone, 13,000 homes have permission but remain unbuilt.
