A Tory MP says the former prime ministers are backing his bid to overturn a ban on new turbines.
In a tweet, Mr Clarke - who was levelling up secretary under Ms Truss - said his amendment had found support "right across the Conservative Party".
The move would allow new turbines with local consent, and represented a "pro-growth, pro-green policy at a time when we need both," he added.The bill's journey through Parliament has already been delayed by a Toryenergy strategyIt said the government would consult a "limited number of supportive communities" about allowing new turbines in exchange for lower energy bills.
Labour's proposed planning changes include removing a provision that allows a single person's objection to stop an application. Sir Keir said not backing onshore wind was a "national act of self-harm, choking off our economic potential". Asked about the ban earlier this month, Mr Sunak told MPs the government wanted to focus on offshore rather than onshore wind."The worst thing we can do is alienate communities if we want to actually deliver on our climate commitments."
