Most recent appearances
- Alcohol Licensing Advertising — [Mr Gary Streeter in the Chair] (18 Jun 2013)
“I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing the debate. Does he agree that notices that go into local papers can be noticed by not only objectors to applications but their supporters, so the drinks industry should not fear such notices?”
- Alcohol Licensing Advertising — [Mr Gary Streeter in the Chair] (18 Jun 2013)
“As the cost of these notices is not picked up by the taxpayer, there is no downside for the taxpayer in having such notices. Quite clearly, though, there is a huge downside for the taxpayer and the whole local community if newspapers such as the Dartford Messenger are not supported and therefore go out of business.”
- Written Answers — Education: Pupil Exclusions: Kent (12 Jun 2013)
“To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many pupils have been excluded from (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in (i) Dartford constituency and (ii) Kent during the last 10 years.”
