PM calls on Green MP to support pylons plan for East Anglia

Sir Keir Starmer challenges Adrian Ramsay during PMQs, urging him to 'show some leadership'.

The prime minister has called on a Green MP to support plans for a massive pylon route across East Anglia.Mr Ramsay said the infrastructure was needed, but other options should be considered, as the pylon proposal had stirred “huge local concern”.

Apart from underground sections beneath the River Stour and Dedham Vale and at Great Horkesley in Essex, it will be carried on pylons. National Grid previously said it had carefully assessed several alternative options, and delaying the project would delay access to cleaner and more affordable electricity in East Anglia.At his first PMQs, Mr Ramsay asked the prime minister to “show leadership personally” on the “existential issue" of nature depletion and biodiversity.
