Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Alicia Kearns and Amanda Solloway

Tuesday 21st May 2024 Commons Chamber

[Amanda Solloway]

I encourage the hon. Lady to write to me on this particular issue and I will look into it.

[Alicia Kearns (Rutland and Melton) (Con)]

I put on record my heartfelt thanks to the Secretary of State and the Minister for Nuclear and Renewables for the action they took last week to put food security, alongside renewable energy, at the heart of local planning decisions. What are the Government doing to ensure that all councils immediately enact that policy, because it is both for local councils and for Government? Will existing soil assessments stand for nationally significant infrastructure projects, or will they be redone?
