Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Amendment 169 is on allotments and community gardening. I am very grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Boycott, for raising this important issue of community access to green space. Indeed, we had many discussions on similar topics during the passage of the levelling-up Bill. I reiterate that the Government recognise the importance of allotments and the immense contribution they make to the health, well-being and spirit of communities.
