Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 27 April 201727/04/2017

T4. As my right hon. Friend proceeds with the immense task of delivering a responsible and good Brexit for the country and, most especially at these difficult times, for Mid Sussex, does he agree that we cannot pretend to be a global player without runn...

Topical Questions

T6. Will my right hon. Friend confirm that he intends to increase the weight given to made neighbourhood plans, and will he indicate that the same weight will be given to an emerging five-year land supply?

Syria and North Korea

Commons Chamber on 18 April 201718/04/2017

It is obviously right that a diplomatic joint approach in Syria is more important than unilateral action. Will the Foreign Secretary therefore commit to continuing to work closely with our American allies and other partners and friends to bring an end to...

Enriched Culture Medium Test

Commons Chamber on 21 March 201721/03/2017

My hon. Friend will be aware from his reading of the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit report that the incidence of group B strep has increased by 30% over the last 15 years. Does he agree that this matter has gone on for far too long, and that the Gov...

A Better Defence Estate Strategy

Westminster Hall on 21 February 201721/02/2017

I congratulate my hon. Friend on raising this important subject. On the wider question of the management of the defence estate, does she agree that there are some immensely important, significant, historic buildings, some of which are of national importan...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 8 February 201708/02/2017

I entirely agree and support my right hon. Friend on his first point. On his second point, does he agree that many hon. Members, while wishing the very best, worry that those deals and transactions will take a long time to fulfil, particularly in the case...

Housing White Paper

Commons Chamber on 7 February 201707/02/2017

Mid Sussex District Council is keen to build homes, and many people in my constituency work diligently to produce neighbourhood plans, only for them then to be undermined by ruthless behaviour by some rogue developers. Does my right hon. Friend agree that...

Education Funding: West Sussex

Commons Chamber on 6 February 201706/02/2017

I am sorry, Mr Speaker; you caught me without my wig. Almost all the 286 schools in West Sussex find their budgets under extreme strain, so they welcome these new developments, but as West Sussex is already one of the lowest funded of all the shire cou...

2. What her plans are for education funding in West Sussex.

Points of Order

Commons Chamber on 30 January 201730/01/2017

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. Like you, I thank the hon. Lady for her kindness in warning me that she was going to complain of this. I thought that in her question to the Foreign Secretary she snapped at him a bit at the end, so I offered he...

US Immigration Policy

Commons Chamber on 30 January 201730/01/2017

I strongly agree with the Foreign Secretary on the importance of this country’s alliance with the United States, but does he agree that, whatever others may do, refugees arriving in this country will be dealt with with patience, courtesy and respect?

Industrial Strategy Consultation

Commons Chamber on 23 January 201723/01/2017

May I congratulate my right hon. Friend on a bold and ambitious statement and give him a unique, once-in-a-lifetime chance to get his new training plans for technical colleges off to a tremendous start? In Haywards Heath in my constituency there is a sixt...

Trident: Test Firing

Commons Chamber on 23 January 201723/01/2017

Does my right hon. Friend agree that there is absolutely no evidence of systemic failure anywhere in this system? Will he confirm that he, like me when I was Minister for the Armed Forces, has total confidence in our Trident defences as being both deadly...

Flooding: Ribble Valley

Commons Chamber on 18 January 201718/01/2017

My hon. Friend is making an incredibly important and powerful speech. He has mentioned a building company. I want him to know that all over the country, many colleagues on both side of the House have the same experience with building companies. They bang...

Leaving the EU: Security, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

Commons Chamber on 18 January 201718/01/2017

My right hon. Friend is spot-on, and I am sure these matters will play out. If one looks at the wonderful success of the security architecture designed by those wise men and women after the last great war, one sees how well it has served the world in peac...

Leaving the EU: Security, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

Commons Chamber on 18 January 201718/01/2017

I very strongly agree with the hon. Gentleman. That is very important. I have high hopes that the Prime Minister, when she visits President Trump, will make those points clearly. I hope President Trump will say something in his inauguration speech that wi...

Leaving the EU: Security, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

Commons Chamber on 18 January 201718/01/2017

If I may say so to the hon. Member for West Ham (Lyn Brown), whose speech I listened to very carefully, I am for my own part completely content that these matters should be left in the very safe hands of the Minister of State, my right hon. Friend the Mem...

Neighbourhood Plans

Commons Chamber on 16 January 201716/01/2017

Will my hon. Friend pay tribute to the hundreds of people in Mid Sussex who have devoted a great deal of time to putting together neighbourhood plans, and will he assure us that in his White Paper steps will be taken to secure the integrity of the plans?...

NHS and Social Care Funding

Commons Chamber on 11 January 201711/01/2017
