Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The amendments would bring into play thousands of publicly owned sites, large and small, on terms that make possible the good land uses that local communities need and deserve. When I raised this same issue in debates on the then Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill, the noble Baroness who is now the Minister, who was then on the Opposition Benches, expressed support for my amendment. I hope she still feels that way. I beg to move.
