The claim refers to the Liberal Democrats ("the hon. Lady" being Victoria Collins, Lib Dem MP for Harpenden and Berkhamsted) consistently voting against the government's planning reforms. The evidence supports this. On the Planning and Infrastructure Bill — the government's flagship planning reform legislation — the Liberal Democrats were whipped to vote against at both Second Reading (24 March 2025, with all 64 Lib Dem MPs voting No) and Third Reading (10 June 2025, with 56 Lib Dem MPs voting No). They also backed amendments opposing aspects of the bill during report stage. This pattern of opposition across the bill's Commons passage supports the characterisation of "consistently votes against."
