I have a question to any or all of you. How important is security of tenure over the land for investors considering investing in nature recovery schemes?

4 Dec 2024Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 501)

Good afternoon, Mr Dunne. A question in two parts: on the basis of the evidence you heard, where do you think Government action is most required to encourage landowners to develop nature recovery schemes for the land and also to encourage investment in those schemes?

4 Dec 2024Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 501)

I have a topical question. Are the changes to inheritance tax relief on agricultural land likely to cause any issues for schemes that are required to be in operation for, as described earlier, 30 years to get realised benefits?

3 Dec 2024 Home-to-School Transport: Children with SEND

I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Thurrock (Jen Craft) for securing this debate.

My constituency of Derbyshire Dales has the 26th lowest rate of gigabit broadband coverage in the country, and currently only 40% of residents have access to gigabit broadband. Does the hon. Member therefore welc

7 Oct 2024 Farming and Food Security

Madam Deputy Speaker, it is a genuine honour to address you and the House today. It is not just a privilege to represent the Derbyshire Dales; It is a privilege just to be there, because it is truly an area of outstanding natural beauty—known to many hon.
