Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 October 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

We need innovation and private providers, so we avoid the muddled thinking and groupthink from the eco-zealots who bought us the bat bridge, or the impropriety of the Ebbsfleet situation. We must have streamlined processes where developers can work with landowners to propose and have certified good schemes delivered in local markets, at sensible prices, quickly. We need to establish regulated private markets for nature, to avoid the situation where schemes will just be packaged and collateralised into some other sub-prime crisis.
