Conservative — Hamble Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2025

Debate

Housing Development: Cumulative Impacts

Contribution

I disagree with the hon. Gentleman slightly. I remember that in the last Parliament, under the Conservative Government, there absolutely was a commitment from Planning Ministers and Secretaries of State to prioritise brownfield development. That was announced during our time in government by the former Prime Minister but three, and by a number of Ministers in the MHCLG.
