Petitions: Public Transport (Lancashire) (20 Jul 2009) has video

Janet Anderson: Rossendale Transport is the local authority-owned bus company that serves the Rossendale valley in my constituency and many of the surrounding areas. The local authority, Rossendale borough council, is now considering whether to sell off the company.

Olympics: Budget (20 Jul 2009) has video

Janet Anderson: May I add my congratulations to you on your election, Mr. Speaker? I urge my right hon.

[Janet Anderson in the Chair] — NHS Next Stage Review (14 May 2009)

Janet Anderson: As no other hon. Members had previously indicated a wish to speak, I moved on to the winding-up speeches by calling the hon. Member for Romsey (Sandra Gidley) in her capacity as spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats. However, I think that her dual role—she is also a member of the Health Committee—has caused some confusion, and the hon. Member for Lewisham, West (Jim Dowd) has...

Transport (North-West) (21 Apr 2009)

Janet Anderson: I could not agree more with the hon. Gentleman. The Rossendale valley in my constituency now has no train service at all, except for a heritage railway that operates only on weekends from a small station in Rawtenstall. I fully support what he says about Beeching.

Prayers: Fuel Poverty Bill (20 Mar 2009) has video

Prayers: Fuel Poverty Bill (20 Mar 2009)

Janet Anderson: My hon. Friend refers to a matter of concern to all of us in Lancashire. I would like to put on record our thanks to the Under-Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, my hon.

Petitions: Coronary Heart Disease (21 Jan 2009) has video

Janet Anderson: I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, and Mr. Speaker for giving me the opportunity this evening to raise this issue, which is of great importance to my constituents.

Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Community Sports Clubs (19 Jan 2009) has video

Janet Anderson: Is my right hon. Friend aware of the crippling increases in water rates being imposed on sports clubs in the north-west by United Utilities? They may well affect his constituency. In my constituency, the water rates for Darwen cricket club are to increase from £220 per annum to a staggering £3,000 per annum, and for Rossendale United football club, they will increase to £1,500....

[John Bercow in the Chair] — Internet and Video Games (13 Nov 2008)

Janet Anderson: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak in the debate, and I shall try to be brief, because I know that many other hon. Members want to participate. As the Committee's report said, the internet is becoming more and more a part of our lives: for communications, research and commerce, it is now an indispensable tool. However, anyone who regularly watches television or reads the press is...

Graveyards and Burial Grounds (5 Nov 2008)

Janet Anderson: I congratulate my hon. Friend on raising this issue—he has done us all a great service. He is right. Darwen council, which covers part of my constituency, has not displayed common sense. One of my constituents told me that "it came as a complete shock to find my late husband's memorial labelled unsafe and banded." That was in September 2007. Darwen council has now learned its lesson. It...
