Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Alcohol-induced Crime (14 Jul 2008) has video

Helen Jones: My hon. Friend will remember that when we debated this matter in Westminster Hall, we touched on the role of the major supermarkets and other retailers in selling discounted alcohol. While the police in Warrington are taking a proactive stance in cracking down on alcohol-related crime, many people are drunk before they go out for the evening on cheap alcohol obtained from supermarkets. Has he...

Points of Order (7 Jul 2008) has video

Helen Jones: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member for Forest of Dean (Mr. Harper), to whom I have given notice of my point of order, visited my constituency on Friday with no notice. I understand that although he was quite far north in Warrington, he believed that he was in Warrington, South. Although I am cheered by the fact that Opposition Front Benchers cannot even find the...

Helen Jones: When the Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, my hon. Friend the Member for Hartlepool (Mr. Wright), visited my constituency recently, he took a great interest in the future developments at Bruche, and he promised to monitor them. Will he take steps to ensure that affordable and social housing developments built there and in other places are of the best possible...

Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: National Schools Challenge (30 Jun 2008) has video

Helen Jones: I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for that answer, but can he reassure me that his Department will carefully scrutinise the plans produced by local authorities and keep monitoring them to make sure that that level of support continues, and not allow authorities to hide behind saying, as officers told me last week, that their overall results are very good, thereby ignoring huge educational...

Local Elections (Warrington) (10 Jun 2008) has video

Helen Jones: Not many people look on the internet to find out why they have not had their poll cards, and the weekly paper in Warrington comes out on election day but is read by most people on a Friday.

Local Elections (Warrington) (10 Jun 2008) has video

Helen Jones: It is normal to begin an Adjournment debate by saying that one is grateful to have it, but in this case I am rather disappointed to have had to apply for the debate at all. The organisation of the local elections in Warrington this year revealed both an astonishing degree of incompetence on the part of the acting returning officer, Mrs. Terris, and a disregard for the basic principles of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Topical Questions (10 Jun 2008) has video

Helen Jones: What further steps can my right hon. Friend take to encourage more people from communities that suffer the most crime and antisocial behaviour to come forward as magistrates? In Warrington, despite the efforts made, eight of our magistrates still come from outside the borough. There are many magistrates in certain wards, but some of the most deprived have no representatives on the bench at...

Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: Youth Facilities (Warrington) (19 May 2008) has video

Helen Jones: I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that answer, but what can he do to ensure that Lib-Dem and Tory-controlled councils take advantage of the money that is being provided by the Government, so that areas in my constituency, such as Burtonwood—which get a youth bus only twice a week and have little access to the town in the evening by public transport—actually get the youth...

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Topical Questions (1 Apr 2008) has video

Helen Jones: What steps can my right hon. Friend take to ensure that councils deliver the affordable homes that they promise? Is she as disturbed as I was that Warrington borough council promised to deliver affordable housing but, in its latest planning permission, delivered only 17 affordable homes out of 178?

Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (1 Apr 2008)

Helen Jones: Further to the hon. Gentleman's earlier remarks, if it is the case that the hon. Member for Oxford, West and Abingdon (Dr. Harris) called for Daresbury to be closed—we believe that it is—does the hon. Gentleman agree?

Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (1 Apr 2008)

Helen Jones: I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Weaver Vale (Mr. Hall) on securing this debate. He has done an enormous amount of work to secure the future of Daresbury, and all MPs in the region are grateful to him for the lead that he has shown. I do not intend to repeat points that have been made, although I agree with them. However, I stress the importance of science on the Daresbury site...

Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (1 Apr 2008)

Helen Jones: I am listening carefully to the hon. Gentleman but, for the record, will he tell us what discussions he has had on the fourth generation light source with scientists at Daresbury? Would they describe it as a "consolation prize"? In calling it that, the hon. Gentleman is downgrading its importance to Daresbury's future.
