Speeches in the chamber
15 Mar 2024 Public Procurement (British Goods and Services) Bill
Smaller companies are often put off because the cost of tendering for such contracts is so high that failing to win the contract could have a really detrimental impact on the business as a whole.
15 Mar 2024 Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill
My hon. Friend is making a very powerful case. If someone smuggling drugs or arms is caught, the penalties are severe. For smuggling kittens or puppies, the penalties are virtually non-existent, let alone the enforcement.
27 Feb 2024 Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
I thank the Minister for giving way again. One problem is that many of these companies encouraged buyers to use their lawyers, who did not point out some of the pitfalls of leasehold properties.
27 Feb 2024 Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
On the point made by the hon. Member for Harrow East (Bob Blackman), Bellway is certainly a company that has done this. Indeed, many people did not even realise that they had a leasehold house and only found out quite a while afterwards wh…
23 Feb 2024 Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill
A very modern parent.
23 Feb 2024 Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill
The thing that really surprised me was that Wembley is not just your average stadium; it is a purpose-built stadium that we would expect to have the best security, yet that number of people were able to get through. As my hon. Friend said,…
22 Feb 2024 Heart and Circulatory Diseases: Premature Deaths
The right hon. Lady is making an important point. This should not be a bolt-on. It should be part and parcel of the treatment. We tend to address the physical side of the illness, open the door and away we go, and we do not ask people abou…
22 Feb 2024 Heart and Circulatory Diseases: Premature Deaths
The hon. Gentleman mentioned the work of Harefield Hospital. My son has been at Harefield for four months after having a heart transplant just before Christmas; it has been a very traumatic time. I would like to place on record the incredi…
22 Feb 2024 Civil Nuclear Road Map
Will the Minister give way?
22 Feb 2024 Civil Nuclear Road Map
I have been to Finland and seen its waste repository. It is not rocket science—it is not that difficult. We have put this off for years and years. The argument always used against the industry is, “There is no answer to the waste.” Well, t…
22 Feb 2024 Civil Nuclear Road Map
I promise the hon. Member that I will not. As someone who is very pro-nuclear, I believe that one big issue is that we have loads of reviews, and identify all the problems and what we will do, and then never actually do it. If we do get ar…

Will the hon. Member give way?
23 Jan 2024 Protecting Steel in the UK
Shotton can use imported steel from India, but that is not a long-term alternative. Importing steel from halfway around the world, rolling it, taking it up to north Wales and then exporting it to Europe does not have a green footprint. Doe…
23 Jan 2024 Protecting Steel in the UK
I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. He will be aware that I have the privilege of representing Shotton steelworks, and he has been there with me to see the high-quality products made in that profitable plant, but in order to carry on it…
23 Jan 2024 Protecting Steel in the UK
Will my hon. Friend give way?
23 Jan 2024 Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure (HC 341) Church of England Pensions (Application of Capital Funds) Measure (HC 342)
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Gray. May I first thank my colleagues for their support this morning? The Second Church Estates Commissioner may be surprised to know that we will not be oppose the measure, but I wa…
11 Dec 2023 Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
I represent an area with a lot of leasehold houses. It is just a cynical money-making scam. Some people own a house but are required to pay an admin charge to change the flooring or have a pet, so it does not feel as if they own it. I can …
4 Dec 2023 Victims and Prisoners Bill
I wish to speak in respect of Government new clause 37. I welcome the fact that the Government have finally changed their mind, despite telling us for so long that Jade’s law could not be done. I would like to pay tribute to Jade’s parents…
8 Nov 2023 British Steel
The Minister will know that Shotton steelworks rely on steel from Port Talbot. What assurances can she give on the supply of steel between the closure of the blast furnaces and the installation of new electric arc furnaces?
17 Oct 2023 Childhood Cancer Outcomes
I am a parent who was told the devastating news that my son had leukaemia, and he subsequently had to have a stem cell transplant. It is devastating news. Fortunately, we were lucky, but something I have campaigned strongly on is the fact …
