Lord Jamieson (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I thank noble Lords for their support and thank the Minister for her response. I appreciate that the Minister has offered assurances that the Government will set out in regulation that strategic planning authorities, when preparing spatial development strategies, must have regard to the desirability of prioritising development on previously developed land. However, as I said earlier, this approach has not worked. If we are genuinely going to move the dial, we need to strengthen the prioritisation of brownfield development. Therefore, I wish to test the opinion of the House on Motion D1.
