Energy Price Cap

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

I am afraid it is not clear. The Secretary of State’s recent letter to Ofgem simply asks it to advise him of the action it intends to take to safeguard customers on the poorest value tariffs. It was not a direction to implement a price cap. Can the Secre...

Energy Price Cap

Commons Chamber on 27 June 201727/06/2017

As we have heard, various media outlets have reported recently that senior Cabinet members were lobbying for the Conservative price cap manifesto commitment to be dropped. Indeed, the Secretary of State’s recent letter to Ofgem was silent on the price ca...

Commons Chamber on 27 March 201727/03/2017

The NDA has withdrawn its appeal against the judgment that was handed down in late July last year, so will the Secretary of State explain why this decision has been taken now, why the matter was brought to appeal in the first instance, and whether both ac...

Fuel Poverty

Commons Chamber on 21 March 201721/03/2017

I completely agree with the hon. Lady. I share her frustrations and I will come on to that point shortly. Looking at the efficacy of the Government’s fuel poverty initiatives thus far, they made a manifesto commitment to install one low-cost insulation...

Fuel Poverty

Commons Chamber on 21 March 201721/03/2017

They need to give greater consideration to it and provide greater investment. I will move on. Fuel poverty has a greater social impact. Children who live in cold homes see an impact on their ability to achieve, whether because of illness or simply beca...

Fuel Poverty

Commons Chamber on 21 March 201721/03/2017

The hon. Gentleman makes another important point. That is certainly something that the Government should be giving due consideration to.

Fuel Poverty

Commons Chamber on 21 March 201721/03/2017

The hon. Gentleman makes a very interesting point. There is scope for communities to regain control of their energy supplies in the longer term. That is certainly something the Government should look at. There are a number of other important points that I...

Fuel Poverty

Commons Chamber on 21 March 201721/03/2017

I am delighted to be debating such an important issue with the Minister in this, our first debate together in this Chamber. I welcome the comments he has made thus far. As Members are aware, this debate is a statutory requirement. As such, it is a prim...

Class 4 National Insurance Contributions

Commons Chamber on 15 March 201715/03/2017

I respectfully request that the Chancellor retracts the comments he made earlier on that very question. They are factually incorrect.

Class 4 National Insurance Contributions

Commons Chamber on 15 March 201715/03/2017

In response to questions, the Chancellor stated that I had confirmed, with reference to the National Insurance Contributions (Rate Ceilings) Bill, that this discharged the Tories’ national insurance manifesto pledge. For the benefit of the record, I state...

Class 4 National Insurance Contributions

Commons Chamber on 15 March 201715/03/2017

On a point of order, Mr Speaker.

Industrial Strategy

Commons Chamber on 14 March 201714/03/2017

Oh, the Secretary of State is cheeky! He might want to refer to the report, because it also states that the White Paper on exiting the EU failed to meaningfully refer to an industrial strategy “and reinforces a lack of coordination between the Governme...

Industrial Strategy

Commons Chamber on 14 March 201714/03/2017

The BEIS Committee’s recent report stated that the industrial strategy Green Paper “provides little clarity on how…sectoral deals will work in practice”, and that it appears to lack “political will”, falling short of “providing a clear framework...

Opel/Vauxhall: Sale to PSA Group

Commons Chamber on 6 March 201706/03/2017

I thank the Secretary of State for that positive response, but I would like further clarification on a number of issues. First, although I welcome PSA’s promise to honour existing contracts, I am deeply concerned about the 40,000 workers who are curren...

Small Businesses

Commons Chamber on 28 February 201728/02/2017

Vauxhall/Opel: Proposed Takeover

Commons Chamber on 20 February 201720/02/2017

Haphazard and crisis-led.

Vauxhall/Opel: Proposed Takeover

Commons Chamber on 20 February 201720/02/2017

I thank the Secretary of State for his response and my hon. Friend the Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Justin Madders) for his question. Vauxhall employs over 40,000 people in the UK, as the Secretary of State said, including 4,500 at its manufactur...

Charter for Budget Responsibility

Commons Chamber on 24 January 201724/01/2017

The credibility of the Government’s fiscal plan as outlined in the charter for Budget responsibility has been called into question time and again. Labour opposed the Government’s amended charter in 2015 as it epitomised the Government’s austerity agenda a...
