Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

Heather and Grass etc. Burning (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

“the very real risk of catastrophic wildfires engulfing our moorlands due to Natural England’s restrictions on managing vegetation … The restrictions have led to a significant increase in fuel load, making the moors highly susceptible to wildfires, particularly with climate change exacerbating the situation. The letter details the devastating consequences of such fires, including the release of harmful pollutants and the potential for loss of life. It also calls for immediate action from the government to prevent this impending disaster”.
