Speeches by Buckley.

“Forgive me, but I must make some progress. We have also forced the water companies to deliver on their five-year investment plans for sustainable urban drainage to rectify the inadequate infrastructure, which has not kept pace with capacity over the past 30 years. In Shropshire, which I represent, that means an additio…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Hobhouse. I congratulate the hon. Member for Didcot and Wantage (Olly Glover) on securing this vital debate. I am a member of the all-party parliamentary group for cycling and walking, which he chairs. Cycling is a key priority for my constituency of Shrewsbury, wh…”

“I will start with you, Olivia Thomas. How can the Government’s current approach to marine planning be improved to achieve that balance between the social, economic and environmental demands that we have touched on?”

“That is helpful for us as a Committee trying to find those pathways forward to try to improve this. I think you have already answered the question, Ms Willis, unless you want to add anything further about that balance.”

“That is helpful for us as a Committee trying to find those pathways forward to try to improve this. I think you have already answered the question, Ms Willis, unless you want to add anything further about that balance.”

“Is that a key recommendation to keep working at that more localised level so that we do get those nuances?”

“If we were trying to translate that to somebody who is not a specialist, would you say that you are talking about more localised parts of the map—drilling down to that smaller detail in the geographic space?”

“I will start with you, Olivia Thomas. How can the Government’s current approach to marine planning be improved to achieve that balance between the social, economic and environmental demands that we have touched on?”

“Do you feel there is enough resource to fulfil these additional requirements to find the evidence?”
