Parliament: Greg Smith MP's recess debate speech February 13, 2020

Greg Smith MP for Buckingham made is maiden speech in the House of Commons on 13th Feb 2020, focused on the potentially disastrous consequences of the proposed Oxford to Cambridge Expressway and over inflated housing targets for the Arc. He even mentioned No Expressway Group!

Greg Smith MP for Buckingham made a speech about the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway and the vast housing targets along the whole Arc as part of the February recess debate.

Great to have the potentially disastrous consequences of the Expressway and housing targets raised in Parliament. And NEG got a mention, as did our event on the 26th Feb!

With an interjection of support from Ben Everitt MP for Milton Keynes North, and constituent of Greg Smith, this speech is worth a watch.

Thanks Greg!
