Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 November 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

On assets of community value, we Liberal Democrats supported the noble Baroness, Lady Coffey, who made an excellent case on Report for having some protection for those assets from instant demolition by those who want to make it easier to develop a site. Again, the Government have come back with some promise of change in that direction that will come through in later legislation. So, we have seen two moves which I think reflect the enormous value of the way in which scrutiny of legislation is approached in this House.
