Lord Fuller (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 April 2026

Debate

Clean Power 2030 Action Plan: Rural Communities

Contribution

The noble Lord is selectively quoting from the table, and he may indeed be right on solar, but the land use framework enumerates a whole load of other different types of use. In total, 1.7 million hectares—about a fifth of all the farmland in England—is to be taken from agriculture and applied to other uses. He cannot get away from that: those are the Government’s numbers.
