Liberal Democrat — St Ives

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Homes and Planning Bill

Contribution

I do not think anyone is blaming the individuals. Indeed, I acknowledge that second home owners bring a great deal to their local communities, and many are strong champions and supporters of local initiatives in the way that the hon. Member describes. The purpose of this Bill is simply to give affected communities the power to, if they choose—only if they choose—cap numbers where they think second home ownership might get out of hand.
