Enforcement, yes.

24 Mar 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24)

Unfortunately, people in my constituency are aware of the risks, I am afraid. How is air quality enforcement being achieved now that we have left the European Union?

24 Mar 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24)

Secretary of State, the latest OEP report showed slowing progress on EIP air quality targets, despite some previous advances. We are going to miss the NO2 target, according to the report. What do we need to do to get back on track with this and how is DEFRA working with other Departments and industry to turn the curve?

7 Mar 2025Protection of Children (Digital Safety and Data Protection) Bill

I am extremely pleased to be able to take part in today’s debate, and I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Whitehaven and Workington (Josh MacAlister) for bringing forward the Bill. It is no exaggeration to say that we are facing a crisis. As has already been expertly outlined by Members across the House, there is a g

Wonderful, thank you.

I was going to ask what more could be done to facilitate community-led marine restoration, but I think you have just answered that pretty much, haven’t you? Is that fair to say?

Going on to those barriers, what is preventing coastal communities from actively participating?

5 Mar 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 551)

My question is for Mr Villemot and it is about engaging local communities in marine governance. First of all, what would be the benefits of that engagement, and how effectively are local communities engaged currently?

25 Feb 2025 Affordable Rural Housing

My constituency faces a chronic lack of housing as well, which disproportionately impacts young people; they face a future where they cannot afford to live in the place where they grew up. Some 8.4% of all residential properties in the dales are not the primary homes of residents. Does my hon. Friend recognise the sign

13 Feb 2025Topical Questions

T3. Residents in Ashbourne have been left feeling hopeless and frustrated after waiting decades for a relief road. More than 700 heavy goods vehicles pass through the town each day, endangering local pedestrians, increasing pollution and causing significant congestion. Will the Minister meet me regarding the need to in

12 Feb 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

Going back to a point that the Chair made, for example, if the development was planned at the top of a hill, should we be considering pretty much all the properties further down the hill because of the increased run-off? Is that something we should be considering—a wider area?

Are you saying that you want more weight given to flood resilience in the national planning policy framework?

12 Feb 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

Good afternoon to everyone. Apologies if some of this has been touched on already. It is a question to everyone, first of all: do current planning policies and regulations sufficiently address flood risk in land use decisions and, if not, what improvements can be made?

12 Feb 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550)

The final question from me is to Ms Davis and Ms Burgess. Assuming that there are some, can you give us examples of other countries that have been more successful in ensuring that planning takes account of flood risk?

12 Feb 2025 SEND Provision: Derbyshire

Having read the Ofsted report, it is clear that the SEND operation in Derbyshire county council is in complete chaos, with what appears to be a revolving door of senior officers, unfilled posts, consultants and temporary positions. My constituent Claire tells me that the council is completely unresponsive, and that poi

To Ms Davis, what role do local flood risk management strategies play in shaping house-building policies?
