Planning: Net Zero Emissions Targets

Debate between Lord Krebs and Lord Greenhalgh

Monday 19th April 2021 Lords Chamber

[Lord Greenhalgh (Con)]

My Lords, we are moving ahead with the future homes standard. I am sure that this takes into account the points that my noble friend raised and that we will be ready, in 2025, with standards that will drive the net-zero objective.

[Lord Krebs (CB) [V]]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that planning approval for new rail infrastructure should be contingent on the plan including a decarbonisation strategy, in line with the advice of both the Committee on Climate Change and the National Infrastructure Commission?
