Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wendy Morton and Steve Reed

Monday 23rd February 2026 Commons Chamber

[Wendy Morton (Aldridge-Brownhills) (Con)]

I have another request from Walsall borough residents. Earlier today, the Secretary of State said that local people know best. I have sent him an invitation to a peaceful protest in Aldridge on Saturday; residents from right across the constituency are coming together to protect their precious green belt. Will he come and meet with them?

[Steve Reed]

I apologise, but my diary is already full up—I will be in another part of the country on Saturday. I am sure that the right hon. Lady’s constituents will also want to see the homes built that they and their children will need now and in the future.
