Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 June 2026

Debate

Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

My constituents in Auchtertool are right to state that the fields beside their village are not an appropriate setting for a large data centre, as is currently proposed. In Scotland, there have been no changes to planning law to take account of the advent of data centres and the resources that they require. I hope that the Scottish Government will recognise this and rapidly change planning law so that villages like Auchtertool are not put in this situation.
