Proceeding contribution from Matthew Pennycook (Labour) 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

The simple answer is no, I would not characterise the OEP’s advice as “spurious”, but I am characterising some of the arguments that have been made over recent days and weeks as such. The OEP is not saying that the Bill is a “cash to trash” model, but some people out there in the public discourse are making that claim.
