Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Debate between Jeremy Wright and Judith Cummins

Report stage
Monday 9th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

Order.

[Sir Jeremy Wright (Kenilworth and Southam) (Con)]

In view of the pressure on time, I will limit my remarks to amendment 141, in my name. The Bill, as we have heard, seeks to do many things, but one of them is to accelerate the roll-out of electric vehicle charging points around the country to facilitate the move to electric vehicles. Drivers with disabilities, and there are 1.35 million of them, will also be expected to move to electric vehicles, but public charging points are often unsuitable for them to use. The amendment is designed to address that.

Sentencing Guidelines (Pre-sentence Reports) Bill

Debate between Jeremy Wright and Judith Cummins

Committee of the whole House & Report stage
Wednesday 30th April 2025 Commons Chamber

[The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means (Judith Cummins)]

I call Sir Jeremy Wright to wind up.

[Sir Jeremy Wright]

I think—in gratitude to all those who have spoken—that we have got to a place where the Minister has told the House that there is some territory, which at the moment is being described as “personal characteristics”, into which the sentencing guidelines may not trespass. That is not the same as specifically referring to someone’s personal circumstances, and is a broader area than the question of whether they are a member of a particular demographic group.
