Speeches by Heylings.

“Can you just explain where that could create a problem?”

“What would be your key recommendation for this Committee inquiry when it comes to what should accompany the Nature Restoration Fund?”

“As I understand it, if we are hearing it, you say, “Great thing”, because they come in as the body. Say, “This is the problem. This is the way we can resolve it. To resolve it we would need this amount of land or this side of the rivers or this waterway because this is what will be able to do a nutrient neutrality exer…”

“Then by the time you have got that and the time you are about to implement it the land is no longer available because it has been built on because we have the push for housing.”

“To build on that recommendation, what is your recommendation, given you are saying that basically, as I understand it, nobody is responsible for monitoring offsite at the moment? It is to understand that point. Also, for it come at the beginning, would there be a recommendation about strengthening the duty on local gov…”

“Am I understanding correctly that you could say that for some environmental issues that are caused by housing, a strategic approach could work—particularly with species that can easily colonise another area because they have the right habitat? But there are some species—for example, the UK bat species—that would not ea…”

“On the offsite?”

“You have no further recommendations on that?”

“It is good to know that my constituency of South Cambridgeshire is one of those areas where they are pushing within the emerging local plan for 20% biodiversity net gain just because they see that it is within the margin of error trying to get 10%, but while trying to wrinkle out the errors, obviously. We have also hea…”

“If you could share it with the Committee that would be very good. If you have an example that you could show of where it has worked, where you think this is based on a very good example, we would really like to hear something like that.”

“As we have been hearing, Dickensian conditions of cold, damp and mouldy homes are shamefully on the increase. In my constituency, more than 4,000 households are having to make that difficult decision between eating and heating because of the previous Government’s dither and delay on insulation. However, even now, local…”

“While we eagerly await progress on bringing community energy into the Great British Energy Bill when it comes back to this House, will Ministers reassure community groups around the country that they will enlarge and expand the community energy fund of £10 million, which is so successful that it is currently oversubscr…”

“Part of the barrier to public acceptance of large-scale solar farms comes from a need to see a joined-up approach and that we are balancing food security and energy security.
