It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Davies. I, too, congratulate the hon. Member for Nottingham South (Lilian Greenwood) on securing the debate. As I reflected when I led a Westminster Hall debate on this issue back in December 2015,...

Criminal Legal Aid

Commons Chamber on 8 May 201808/05/2018

School Funding

Commons Chamber on 25 April 201825/04/2018

I am just finishing. In Erewash, at the core, we have an inspirational team of teaching professionals who manage their schools creatively within budget and, more importantly, look beyond the balance sheet, instead choosing to focus on the vital job of...

School Funding

Commons Chamber on 25 April 201825/04/2018

I thank the hon. Lady for that intervention, but once again, I think that the myths have been spread and spread. If we look at it historically, in Erewash during all the 13 years of Labour government, schools were underfunded completely. Thankfully, this...

School Funding

Commons Chamber on 25 April 201825/04/2018

I am grateful for the opportunity to speak in this debate, because Conservative Members have a duty to put the record right on some of the statements that Opposition Members are making. They continue to peddle myths day after day in the Chamber. Today, I...
