Moorlands MP, Karen Bradley asked a question yesterday during Prime Minister's Questions.
Karen commented,
"I was pleased to be able to speak during Prime Minister's Questions yesterday. I am continuing to make Ministers, including the Prime Minister, aware of my constituents' views on solar farm and battery storage applications."
People across the Staffordshire Moorlands are extremely concerned by the number of applications granted for solar farms and battery storage facilities. Will the Prime Minister give them some reassurance that he will change the law and that we will see good agricultural land saved for producing food, as it rightly should be?
It is right that we do both, and that we do support agriculture. The right hon. Lady says that people across the country are concerned about solar, but they are also concerned about their bills coming down, after they went up under the previous Government. The only way to get them down is on renewables, and that is what we are doing.
