Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

I am very sorry to be called so late on Kiss a Ginger Day, Mr Speaker. We only get one day a year, after all—I am wondering whether you might be colour-blind. May we have a debate on the future of our parks funding? Graves park in my constituency recei...

Occupied Palestinian Territories

Commons Chamber on 11 January 201711/01/2017

The Bedouin village of Umm-al-Hiran remains under threat from a demolition that would cast out 800 villagers, and the number of demolitions in the occupied territories in the first two weeks of January is almost four times greater than the number at this...

Occupied Palestinian Territories

Commons Chamber on 11 January 201711/01/2017

2. What assessment she has made of the implications of demolitions in the occupied Palestinian territories in 2015-16 for her Department’s policies in that region.

HMRC Estate

Commons Chamber on 10 January 201710/01/2017

Sheffield staff are already commuting considerable distances to their HMRC office because of previous office closures. Does the Minister not agree that HMRC can ill afford to lose 5,000 experienced staff at this time? Given that HMRC has struggled to f...

Mental Health and NHS Performance

Commons Chamber on 9 January 201709/01/2017

Last year, just 67% of category red 1 ambulance calls in Sheffield were answered within eight minutes. Last week, I met a constituent whose husband died while he waited for an ambulance for two hours and 40 minutes. Can the Secretary of State continue to...

European Council 2016

Commons Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

Under this Prime Minister’s leadership, Britain has opposed strengthening trade defence measures and has watered down action on the lesser duty rule, which has crippled the UK steel industry. Will people not be right to think that when this Prime Minister...

Broadband Universal Service Obligation

Commons Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

It is a great pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (Calum Kerr), the Scottish National party spokesperson, who always speaks with such passion on this subject, and I congratulate the hon. Member for Boston and Skegness...

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

The Drive for Justice campaign is being led by Sheffield’s The Star and its sister publications, looking at sentences for causing death by dangerous driving. One mother pointed out that the drunken woman who had murdered her 15-year-old son had served onl...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

T3. Recently, the hon. Member for North East Somerset (Mr Rees-Mogg) said in relation to emissions standards that what is good enough for India is good enough for us. May we have a firm assurance that no emissions standards will be watered down as part...

Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I absolutely support proposals to extend reporting to private companies, but will the Minister comment on how effective the current reporting regime is? Some businesses certainly report at an absolutely excellent level. However, I used to have the arduou...

Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I completely agree with those sentiments. Corporate responsibility is too often tacked on at the end of a company’s activities, in a completely separate report. It is not embedded throughout the organisation as it should be, which is why a strong, effecti...

Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for allowing time to debate this issue of critical importance today. Having worked in corporate governance before I was elected, I am well accustomed to the fact that it is not a subject that excites or even particularly...

Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I am grateful to the Minister for that intervention. I was by no means criticising the Government when I mentioned the delay in bringing the proscription forward; my comment was more about the media’s treatment of this atrocity and the general public disc...

Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I am very pleased that we are having this debate today, but I am surprised and a little disappointed that we did not have it earlier. In the wake of Jo’s murder, the entire media coverage was dominated by issues about Thomas Mair’s mental health and the i...

Self-employed: Support

Commons Chamber on 13 December 201613/12/2016

False self-employment is a particular issue in sectors such as retail, care and construction. The Gangmasters Licensing Authority is now expected to regulate those industries, which contain more than half a million businesses, yet has only 79 members of s...

Social Care Funding

Commons Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

Sheffield is about to lose its last emergency respite care centre for patients with complex dementia needs. Those patients cannot be cared for in the community, and people desperately do not want to see that centre go. Sheffield already has the second-lar...

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 24 November 201624/11/2016

I thank the Leader of the House for his moving words earlier. Given those words, may we have a debate about whether Britain First should be proscribed as a terrorist organisation and banned from standing in democratic elections?

Organ Donors (Leave)

Commons Chamber on 22 November 201622/11/2016

I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend Part 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to make provision about leave for persons donating body organs for transplant; and for connected purposes. I start by sending my thanks and, I am...

Older Workers

Commons Chamber on 21 November 201621/11/2016

On the question about carers, it is now seven months since the minimum wage was increased, but the income threshold for carer’s allowance has not risen in line with the minimum wage. Will the Secretary of State act to raise it by just £5 a week to ensure...

Calais Children and Immigration Act

Commons Chamber on 16 November 201616/11/2016

As a proud city of sanctuary, Sheffield is doing everything it can to house these very vulnerable children, but it is being held up by Home Office incompetence around the central assessment process. Will the Minister ensure that funding is released urgent...
