Debate on the Address

Proceeding contribution from Vicky Ford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 October 2019. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Debate on the Address.

No, we are short of time so I will not take any more interventions.

Of course there is more to do but this Queen’s Speech allows us to improve air quality and water quality and restore habitats for wildlife and plants, as well as fight back on plastic pollution. I am standing here having listened to the leader of the Scots Nats say he wanted to fight single-use plastic while staring across the Chamber at the single-use plastic cups that they have chucked under their seats. We need to take action for our planet. There is only one planet, we cannot replace it and we in this country are leading the world’s efforts to protect it.

This Queen’s Speech gives us a unique opportunity; let’s not squander it.
