Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Clarke and Craig Williams

Monday 17th October 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mr Clarke]

I am terribly fond of the hon. Gentleman, as I hope he knows, but I am afraid he is just wrong in that summary of investment zones. There is no diminution of workers’ rights or environmental rights; the zones are about lower taxes and streamlined planning to deliver jobs and growth, and we should all welcome that across the House.

[Craig Williams (Montgomeryshire) (Con)]

12. What assessment he has made with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of investment zones on the environment.
