Hey team.

Planning is the big topic this week.

On Thursday, MPs debate the government's bill to cut red tape and speed up house building, which is back from the Lords.

Otherwise, we have a couple of ten minute rule motions.

One is on how to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine, and the other is about road safety outside schools.

And Wednesday is another Opposition Day.

The Tories will have a chance to set the agenda.

Until next week. In the meantime, feel free to tweet me, or just reply to this email.
