Proceeding contribution from Ellie Chowns (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 June 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
Planning and Infrastructure Bill
I thank the Minister warmly for giving way. He dismissed “spurious” criticism of part 3 of the Bill, but would he use that phrase to dismiss the very expert criticism of the Office for Environmental Protection? In complete contrast to the Secretary of the State’s claim that the Bill does not reduce environmental protections, in its independent expert advice, the OEP says that it does and that the Bill constitutes “a regression” in environmental protection?
