The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the independent report entitled Independent review into legal challenges against Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects, published on 28 October 2024, whether she plans to reform the judicial review system.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made by my hon. Friend the Member for Finchley and Golders Green on 23 January 2025 (HCWS385), which sets out the changes to judicial review being taken forward. The government’s response to the call for evidence on this matter will be published in due course.
