Joy Morrissey

Conservative — Beaconsfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 March 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

We have seen with HS2 an example of planning authorities being taken over in a way that was not the traditional compulsory purchase process. HS2 has been allowed to take over properties, and not pay market value or even take possession. People are still waiting for compensation—their homes devastated, losing everything because of HS2’s ability to take over.
