• 12 Feb 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  There is a real opportunity for the Bill to go further and promote data trusts or data communities—where groups of individuals collectively manage their data for wider societal benefit, such as medical research or tackling climate change. The Bill could champion that approach, thereby boosting public interest innovation. Instead, it is largely silent on collective or community-driven data governance, and misses a crucial chance to build genuine public trust in how technology can help us all.

  ✈️ Before the government makes a decision on expanding airports like Luton, they must at least introduce a framework to manage emissions. Their own climate advisers have said this. ???? At present, expanding Luton will be disastrous for our climate and local communities. https://x.com/TweetingCollins/status/1884661704144867756/video/1 [Source]

  @libdemdaisy and I have again urged the government to reject Luton airport expansion ✈️ It would go against the govt’s own climate advisors’ opposition to airport expansion until an emissions framework is in place. It would be devastating for local infrastructure and noise. https://x.com/TweetingCollins/status/1883530460397220121/photo/1 [Source]

• 23 Jan 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  With impending decisions on airport expansions across the south of England, communities in my constituency, including Flamstead and Markyate, are very worried, not only because the evidence about economic growth is quite low but because the Climate Change Committee has said that the impact on the climate would be rather large. Can the Minister assure the House that the Government will be listening to the Government’s own advisers and will have a UK-wide capacity management framework before any airport expansion?

  If we are to reach net zero, community energy is needed to fill a gap between individuals, businesses and councils. It was John who reminded me that if community energy is supported, there is a significant resource of people ready and waiting to put their voluntary efforts into getting schemes off the ground. By their very nature, they are embedded in their communities, and we must bring our communities with us if we are to make the change that is needed.

  I welcome that the Government are taking renewable energy investment seriously and creating a mechanism for it. In common with many Liberal Democrat Members, I will focus on amendment 5, which would specifically require Great British Energy to support community energy projects as part of its strategic priorities.

  Last week, I continued to press the govt. on the proposed Luton airport expansion. I raised concerns about the environmental impact, questioning the govt. on whether they’ve ensured this complies with their climate change targets ✈️ Here’s my question and the govt’s response ???? https://x.com/TweetingCollins/status/1846853954325426345/video/1 [Source]

• 10 Oct 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  Local people in Harpenden and Berkhamsted are already blighted by noise from Luton airport, and are highly concerned about the proposed expansion to almost double passenger capacity. What assessment has the Minister made of the compatibility of the expansion with the views of the Government’s own advisers, the Climate Change Committee?

  The same fate goes for the Grand Union canal, where people can jump out at Tring. Although they may not be able to see zebras or cassowaries in Tring Park any more, they can visit them in our natural history museum. People in our part of Hertfordshire are proud of their natural landscapes, and I join them in campaigning to protect our environment and tackle the climate crisis.

  ???? Great to talk to local members of the United Nations Association #Harpenden. ????

  The flash flooding yesterday in #Harpenden is another stark reminder of the need to urgently tackle this climate crisis and do more to mitigate the risks for our communities! Let me know if, and how, you were impacted by the flooding yesterday. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-65532741 [Source]

  Oh wow. The pond at #Aldbury has completely dried up. A new playground for the kids at least but the rain can't come soon enough - and neither can our actions to tackle climate change. https://twitter.com/TweetingCollins/status/1558511326166663176/photo/1 [Source]

  Heatwaves, driest July since 1911 - it's time our political leaders take climate change seriously. Did you know, it was the @LibDems who created the world's first national green investment bank (later sold off by the Tories). https://twitter.com/sgfmann/status/1552387411887497220 [Source]

  So long Rosemary my beloved bike, brutally stolen. I won't let them grind me down though! I just hope she's loved (or returned if there's a miracle). I'll always have fond memories from delivering and exploring to reducing CO2 emissions together. ????‍♀️♥️???? https://twitter.com/TweetingCollins/status/1312065213919825922/photo/1 [Source]
