Confidence in the Secretary of State for Transport

Commons Chamber on 19 June 201819/06/2018

I agree with what the hon. Gentleman is saying. Does he agree with me that franchisees that walk away from a franchise should be banned from bidding for a significant period?

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

Rather than praising the Lords for the number of amendments they have passed, would it not be more in line with Labour party philosophy and views to say that they have gone way beyond their constitutional remit in trying to overturn not only the decision...

Dieter Helm Energy Review

Westminster Hall on 24 April 201824/04/2018

It has been a good debate. I thank the Minister; I understand why she says she is reluctant to formally reply to the report in the short term. That is disappointing—an interim reply on the Government’s position would be useful. I am pro-renewables: I jus...

Dieter Helm Energy Review

Westminster Hall on 24 April 201824/04/2018

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman’s point, but does he agree that there has not been a huge technological advance in windmill technology over the past few years? The drop in costs probably represents how inefficient the energy market was previously, rather...

Dieter Helm Energy Review

Westminster Hall on 24 April 201824/04/2018

That is my reading of the report. I think Professor Helm goes slightly further than that—beyond the big six energy companies—and talks about the problems that have been caused by investing in costly new technologies that might have been cheaper to purcha...

Dieter Helm Energy Review

Westminster Hall on 24 April 201824/04/2018

I beg to move, That this House has considered the cost of the energy review by Dieter Helm. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr McCabe. The motion has a slight ambiguity as to whether we are considering the cost of producing the r...

HS2: Phase 2b

Commons Chamber on 19 April 201819/04/2018

Can the Minister assure the House that the hybrid Bill for HS2 phase 2b will take precedence over Crossrail 2?

HS2: Phase 2b

Commons Chamber on 19 April 201819/04/2018

20. What steps he has taken to implement phase 2b of High Speed 2.

Anti-Semitism

Commons Chamber on 17 April 201817/04/2018

I completely associate myself with my hon. Friend’s last three or four sentences. I represent one of the more significant Jewish populations in the country, in Kersal and Broughton, and I have worked with the Community Security Trust over a number of yea...

Leaving the EU: Tourism and the Creative Industries

Westminster Hall on 17 April 201817/04/2018

I am following the right hon. Gentleman’s speech closely. I do not share his pessimism about the impact of Brexit on the creative industries. Sometime in the early 1980s, the number of people employed in the creative industries in Manchester and Lancashi...

Leaving the EU: Tourism and the Creative Industries

Westminster Hall on 17 April 201817/04/2018

On the first point, I think we are seeing record levels of tourism in this country, because the pound has dropped—I think that is more or less indisputable. On the aviation point, does the hon. Lady agree that abolishing air passenger duty would give a b...

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 29 March 201829/03/2018

Children of my constituents who were sent to the two free schools set up by Raja Miah had a terrible educational experience. The schools were unsafe, there were no computers, children with special educational needs were given no support, and the teaching...

Kerslake Arena Attack Review

Commons Chamber on 28 March 201828/03/2018

In extreme adversity, this may well have been Manchester’s finest hour. Andy Burnham, Richard Leese and Eddy Newman were a model of civic leadership during that period. The people of Manchester behaved heroically, as did the first responders to this terr...

Rail Announcement

Commons Chamber on 27 March 201827/03/2018

As a former chair of Manchester airport, I thank the Secretary of State for his kind words about how it has been run. One reason for the airport’s success is that it has been careful in choosing its private sector partners over the years. Will the Secret...

Leaving the EU: NHS

Westminster Hall on 22 March 201822/03/2018

Order. I have been listening carefully to the hon. Gentleman; he has referred his remarks back to the impact on the NHS of leaving the EU, but I think he is drifting a little. Does he think he could bring those remarks back to the subject before us?

Leaving the EU: NHS

Westminster Hall on 22 March 201822/03/2018

Before I call Ben Bradshaw, let me say that we have sufficient time, given the number of people who want to speak, but may I please ask that interventions are to the point and brief?

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, Environmental Audit Committee, Health and Social Care Committee and Transport Committee

Westminster Hall on 22 March 201822/03/2018

Order. We are running out of time; there are two minutes left, if I am to stay strictly to the 20-minute limit. I ask hon. Members to be brief.

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, Environmental Audit Committee, Health and Social Care Committee and Transport Committee

Westminster Hall on 22 March 201822/03/2018

We shall begin with the Select Committee statement. Neil Parish will speak on the publication of the joint report on “Improving air quality” for up to 10 minutes, during which time no interventions may be taken. At the conclusion of his statement I will...

GKN: Proposed Takeover by Melrose

Westminster Hall on 15 March 201815/03/2018

Before I call the Minister, I ask him to leave three minutes at the end to allow Adrian Bailey to sum up.

GKN: Proposed Takeover by Melrose

Westminster Hall on 15 March 201815/03/2018

Order. Five Back-Bench Members want to speak, and the arithmetic is straightforward. I intend to call the Scottish National party spokesperson at 4 o’clock, so I hope that people will respect that time.
