Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 November 2025

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

When the Secretary of State came before the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee earlier this month, I struggled to get any clear answers on whether his Department’s policy is for neighbouring local authorities to be consulted before new towns are built. If the Government will not support the new clause of my hon. Friend the Member for Mid Leicestershire, I would welcome clarity on that point when the Minister winds up.
