Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Matthew Pennycook and Stuart Andrew

Monday 7th September 2026 Commons Chamber

[Stuart Andrew (Daventry) (Con)]

Despite what we have heard from the Minister, colleagues have been talking about the issue of developments near railway stations. That has a practical consequence for the rural village of Long Buckby in my constituency. Land that is currently in open countryside, beyond the village boundary, will now be designated as a priority area. That gives no consideration to the distinction between a rural village and an urban area. Will the Minister meet me to discuss the issue in detail?

[Matthew Pennycook]

I will happily meet the right hon. Gentleman.
