Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

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

Contribution

That was written in 2021. That warning has been ignored by successive Governments and, this year, it came to pass with the devastating fires that we experienced this summer. My noble friend Lord Caithness talked about how the fire chiefs have warned against a burning ban as the Government push ahead, so I will not repeat that.
