Conservative — Harrow East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 March 2026

Debate

Grid Capacity: West London

Contribution

The problem for the West London Alliance, which comprises six boroughs, is the lack of grid capacity, which means that new home developments and new projects providing business opportunities are frozen for a number of years, into the 2030s. Unless there is urgent action to provide more power to the grid, all those excellent projects will be frozen for far too long.
