• 3 Apr 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  The Liberal Democrats want the UK to be world-leading in its efforts to improve air quality. We have called for a £20 billion emergency fund for local authorities to tackle the clean air crisis, and a £150 billion green recovery plan. We need to pass a new Clean Air Act based on World Health Organisation guidelines and enforced by a new air quality agency, to codify in law that nobody should be subject to consistently awful levels of air pollution. Not passing those measures makes a mockery of the Government’s already opaque plans for meaningful climate action. We were deeply concerned by the finding of the Climate Change Committee’s seventh carbon budget that the UK has deliverable plans for only a third of the emissions reductions needed to meet climate goals. If the Government want to rectify that then they should get a grip, with a beefed-up approach to managing waste and dealing with air pollution. We can do a lot more to prevent waste going to incineration in the first place, and better regulate the existing stock of incinerators.

  I'm very proud to see @DrRozSavageMP 's Climate and Nature Bill get a 2nd reading in the Commons. The CAN Bill would be a huge leap forward for our country as we fight the climate crisis. I will be voting to make sure it makes it out of Second Reading in January @zerohour_uk https://x.com/LukeTaylorLD/status/1854208380396511469/photo/1 [Source]

  I come from a family of teachers - but I think even my mum would be surprised to see me at the front of the class! Was a real delight to drop in to @cheamhigh to take questions from pupils on everything from Climate Change to Cats Vs Dogs - and whether or not I'm a Swiftie... https://x.com/LukeTaylorLD/status/1851248889300385906/photo/1 [Source]

• 10 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  I want to broaden the discussion to investment in our rail infrastructure. In early 2023, the previous Government announced much-vaunted funding for upgrades to the Belmont rail line. Some £14.1 million was awarded from the levelling-up fund to dual-track part of the line to allow train frequency to be increased to four an hour in each direction by the addition of a passing loop at Belmont station. Such an increase in accessibility would massively benefit my constituents, but it is also key to getting the best out of the cancer hub site that Sutton council has been so ambitious in investing in. That incredibly advanced, world-leading cancer research centre in south-west London will benefit not just Sutton and Cheam but the whole of London. Does the Minister agree that investing in these infrastructure upgrades, as well as concentrating on getting value for money from existing services, is critical to allowing residents to make sustainable transport choices? Does he also agree that it is critical to unleashing the economic benefits of investment, such as in the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton and Cheam, to allowing us to achieve our net zero climate goals and to boosting the economy, which the Government seem keen to support?

  Was great to drop in and chat to representatives from Greenpeace in Parliament today. Fantastic discussion about the future of renewable energy and the transition to a zero carbon economy. You couldn't move in the room for #LibDems MPs! https://twitter.com/LukeTaylorLD/status/1833928701861318702/photo/1 [Source]

  I'm happy to support the Climate and Nature Bill #CANBill. As a @LibDems we know it's critical that we fight the climate emergency and try to secure our planet for the future. @SuttonLibDems https://twitter.com/MPWaSutChe/status/1805290733500297499 [Source]
