Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2025

Debate

Great British Energy Bill

Contribution

My Lords, 30 seconds. The Minister referred to rigorous planning standards. I note a government press release of 26 January saying: “Sweeping reforms under the Planning and Infrastructure Bill will take an axe to red tape that slows down approval of infrastructure projects”. Is the Minister confident that there will still be rigorous planning standards after the changes that the Government have announced?
