Speeches in the chamber
16 Jul 2026 Local Government Reorganisation
I have long been a proponent of the principles of LGR, which Lancashire and my constituents have desperately needed for a long time. It is a chance to reinvent local government. However, today, in respect of a decision made by the Secretar…
16 Jul 2026 Business of the House
My right hon. Friend the Member for Makerfield (Andy Burnham) has made it clear that reindustrialisation will be a key priority for this Government, but in order to be meaningful this must be done with true ambition, delivering good jobs, …
8 Jul 2026 NHS Corridor Care

8 Jul 2026 NHS Corridor Care

30 Jun 2026 Culture, Media And Sport

30 Jun 2026 National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation
I hugely welcome the report and join in the thanks to all those who made it possible, but most fundamentally the families who shared their experiences and showed extraordinary courage through the whole process. Many of those stories were s…
25 Jun 2026 Business of the House
One key to creating opportunities in places like Rossendale and Darwen is reindustrialisation—making more things in more places, and creating good jobs close to home. To make this real, we need economic policy that truly understands the pa…
4 Jun 2026 Business of the House
As we look forward to the Railways Bill, it is worth reminding the House that Rossendale remains the only local authority area in the north without any sort of commuter rail link, despite being only 15 miles from central Manchester. The li…
3 Jun 2026 Small Towns: Transport Links
I thank everyone who has contributed. I was pleased that so many colleagues were able to cover areas that I was not able to address in my speech. I will not deal with every aspect, but it made me reflect that when we talk about growth, we …
3 Jun 2026 Small Towns: Transport Links
The hon. Lady raises a range of complex points, which the Minister will probably deal with in detail. I do not agree with her about buses, because there is plenty of local flexibility to allow that. When it comes to the Green Book, it is t…
3 Jun 2026 Small Towns: Transport Links
My hon. Friend makes a crucial point, and I will touch on this issue. Thinking of things as a whole, not as individual, isolated projects, is crucial for the transport systems that we actually need. Rossendale has put forward its plan. …

3 Jun 2026 Small Towns: Transport Links
That is a real inequity within regions now, and I will cover that in my conclusion. It is a fundamental that we have to address. We must begin with empowering people to actively travel by walking, wheeling or cycling to work or school o…
3 Jun 2026 Small Towns: Transport Links
Thank you, Sir Roger. There will be an extensive section on buses—pages 75 to 300—so I am sure we will cover a lot of that sort of ground. Connectivity really matters for connecting communities. Ultimately, it is about how easily and affor…
