The comments made by Angela Richardson, the Conservative MP for Guildford, on Twitter on 10 October 2022.
There is a planning application for a solar farm in my constituency which I support as it will help my local University meet its net zero aims by 2030. A blanket ban on solar farms would be unwise. Should be looked at on a case by case basis.

Chloe Smith – 2022 Comments on World Mental Health Day
The comments made by Chloe Smith, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on 10 October 2022.
On World Mental Health Day, it is important to recognise the virtuous circle between health and work – we know that giving people the support they need to work is very good for their long term health.
The Government’s growth-focused agenda will deliver jobs, higher wages and greater opportunities – and I am delighted that people who have faced barriers to entering the workforce due to poor mental health will now be able to access support across England.
Helping people access both clinical support for their mental health as well as employment advice gives them the tools they need to get into or return to work. This is vital to helping drive down inactivity and growing our economy so we can deliver more money and support for public services such as these.
