Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 30 March 201730/03/2017

T6. This Sunday is an historic day, as Ilkeston finally reconnects with the rest of the rail network after an interval of more than 50 years. This would not have been possible without a £6.6 million new stations fund grant provided by this Government. D...

Preventing Avoidable Sight Loss

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201728/03/2017

My hon. Friend talks about sight loss increasing in the future. Does she agree that obesity, which has the knock-on effect of causing type 2 diabetes, is one of the causes of sight loss? Children in their teens are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so...

Commons Chamber on 27 March 201727/03/2017

T10. When it comes to women in work, Erewash leads from the front, with 83% of working-age women in full-time or part-time employment. What steps is my right hon. Friend taking to help more women in other parts of the country to return to employment and...

Local Audit (Public Access to Documents) Bill

Commons Chamber on 24 March 201724/03/2017

I am not an expert, but I would think that a freedom of information request is more costly to a council than what is proposed in the Bill. Perhaps a balance on cost-effectiveness needs to be taken into consideration, too.

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 20 March 201720/03/2017

T6. Will my right hon. Friend outline what steps she is taking to ensure that schools have structured educational plans in place to provide appropriate levels of additional support for children with special educational needs such as attention deficit hy...

Budget Resolutions

Commons Chamber on 13 March 201713/03/2017

It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Luton South (Mr Shuker). I have to say that although we do not always agree, he has put forward some good points. It is well recognised that Britain is a world leader in science and technological research....

Q2. This week in Erewash, it is likely that, sadly, four people will suffer a stroke. With that in mind and given that the current highly successful stroke strategy expires later this year, will my right hon. Friend commit her Government to publish an...

O’Neill Review

Westminster Hall on 7 March 201707/03/2017

I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Thirsk and Malton (Kevin Hollinrake) on securing this important debate. I will focus on Lord Neill’s call for antibiotic prescriptions to be informed by a rapid diagnostic test “wherever one exists” by 2020. Su...

O’Neill Review

Westminster Hall on 7 March 201707/03/2017

My hon. Friend makes a good point about educating patients so that they appreciate that they do not have to come out of the GP surgery with a prescription in their hand if a diagnostic test can be carried out to prove that antibiotics will not work in the...

Crown Tenancies Bill

Public Bill Committees on 1 March 201701/03/2017

The Bill mentions the high-speed route from London to the west midlands. Phase 2b, which is the second phase from the west midlands to Leeds, goes through Long Eaton in my constituency. How does the Bill apply to phase 2a or 2b of the high-speed rail sche...

Will the hon. Lady give way?

Will the hon. Lady give way?

Health and Social Care

Commons Chamber on 27 February 201727/02/2017

The right hon. Lady makes a very good point, and we could have an entire debate on the topic of prevention and screening. The spending of the NHS budget affects social care, and the spending of the social care budget affects the NHS. As we have heard f...

Health and Social Care

Commons Chamber on 27 February 201727/02/2017

I thank my hon. Friend for his pertinent comments. I did my training as a biomedical scientist at Halifax general hospital and the royal infirmary in Halifax, so I know the area very well. Yes, we must not go down the route of more disastrous PFI agreemen...

Health and Social Care

Commons Chamber on 27 February 201727/02/2017

I would like to start by paying tribute to the many thousands of health and social care workers who every day support some of the most vulnerable people in our society. We are talking today about how to balance the books. The NHS five year forward view...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 1 February 201701/02/2017

For me, this Bill is about just one thing—process. Like many other hon. Members, I began on a Brexit “road to Damascus” by advocating that Britain remain in the EU. That is not because I am a die-hard Europhile; it is because I am a pragmatist. I believe...

Broadcasting (Radio Multiplex Services) Bill

Public Bill Committees on 31 January 201731/01/2017

I am concerned about my local community radio station, Erewash Sound. Will my hon. Friend clarify whether the Bill applies just to community stations, or does it also include small commercial radio stations?

Commons Chamber on 25 January 201725/01/2017

Social care provided by Labour-led Derbyshire County Council is failing miserably, with serious errors in process leading to shameful consequences for some of the most vulnerable people in my constituency. It is clearly not about funding, as the council s...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 24 January 201724/01/2017

T10. Following last week’s announcement by the Prime Minister that Britain intends to leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice once we leave the EU, will my right hon. Friend outline what preparations her Department is making to ready the...

Midlands Engine

Westminster Hall on 24 January 201724/01/2017

I thank my right hon. Friend for that. I do not want to offend anyone from Yorkshire who still lives there, but I am proud to say that I live in the midlands and represent a midlands seat. It is really important that we bang the drums and fight our corner...
