Right, let us...

We now come to Prime Minister's questions.

Jonathan Lord.

Question number one, Mr Speaker.

Minister.

Mr Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Jonathan Lord.

Residents across the eastern villages of Woking in Bifleet, West Bifleet and Perford

have seen a large number of proposed developments over recent years.

Of particular concern is an area of beautiful fields near Westall

where over 1,000 of my constituents have written back to me in recent weeks

expressing their deep

concerns about the lack of provision of local infrastructure and the potential effects on the

local environment.

My residents and I will fight on, but does the Prime Minister agree with me that Labour's

proposals to concrete over vast swathes of the Green Belt in Surrey and the South East would be a complete calamity.

Mr. Speaker, my Honourable Friend is absolutely right, unlike actually both the Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party

who believe in top-down targets that would decimate the Greenbelt. We believe in local people having

a say over their local communities, which is why we are making sure that we make best use

of brownfield land and ensuring that we conserve and enhance our precious countryside for

generations to come.
