Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: Jon Venables ( 8 Mar 2010)

Peter Kilfoyle: Jon Venables, Robert Thompson and their families lived in my constituency at the time of the murder, which took place in my constituency, so it is indelibly imprinted on my mind. Does the Secretary of State agree that there are whited sepulchres among the media who are seeking to whip up public disquiet and almost a hysterical reaction to the issue? If they are successful, is that not likely...

Petition — Badman Report (Sherwood): Ex Parte Applications (Family Courts) (20 Jan 2010)

Peter Kilfoyle: I am very pleased to be able to bring this somewhat esoteric subject of ex parte applications in the family courts for consideration in the House. Ex parte applications are now known as without notice applications, and, effectively, only one side of the argument is presented in the courts when a particular type of order is sought from the courts. I believe that to be particularly acute in the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Regeneration (Liverpool) ( 8 Dec 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: What plans he has for the regeneration of north Liverpool.

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Regeneration (Liverpool) ( 8 Dec 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for that answer, although I barely recognise the picture that he paints. May I invite him to visit my constituency to see for himself the result of 10 years of malign neglect under Liberal Democrat council control? While he is there, will he advise us on how Everton and Liverpool football clubs could be used to lever in the kind of regeneration funding...

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Council House Building (27 Oct 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: What rules apply to local authorities in the first and second rounds of the council house building programme.

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Council House Building (27 Oct 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: Is the Minister aware that, despite the long waiting lists for housing in Liverpool, the city council, which holds no housing stock itself, has made no application under the rules? It has, however, recently managed to appoint a new assistant executive director of housing at a salary of £102,000 a year, plus a 10 per cent. bonus. Does my right hon. Friend think that that is in the spirit that...

Christopher Traynor (13 Oct 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: The Minister is quite right to emphasise that he is not in a position to order the French to do anything, but there could surely be some kind of ministerial contact. We could use ministerial good offices on this side and on the French side and ask the French at the very least to consider reopening the case. That is quite different from trying to tell them what to do in such a case. A princess...

Ballistic Missile Defence ( 7 Jul 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: Let me put the record straight. The issue of whether a country’s face fits, diplomatically or internationally, is important. Everything that the Minister has just said may be the case, but there is a different attitude to the hidden weapons in Israel, for example. I am not arguing the rights and wrongs of one against the other, but there are two separate approaches to two, admittedly...

Ballistic Missile Defence ( 7 Jul 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: It is a pleasure for me to state my case before you in this short debate, Mr. Cummings. I am particularly pleased that the relatively new Armed Forces Minister is here to respond on a subject that I have taken up with several of his predecessors. We are here to talk about UK policy, but in a sense, that cannot be divided from American Government policy. By way of background, I should like to...

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Building Britain's Future (29 Jun 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: I represent a constituency in which high unemployment and low skills have gone hand in hand for generations, something that particularly affects the under-25s. In the 1970s, we had job creation projects, in the 1980s we had youth opportunity programmes and in the 1990s we had the new deal. What I would like to hear is what is qualitatively different about what the Prime Minister proposes...

Election of Speaker (22 Jun 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: Mr. Speaker-Elect, you have heard from the Prime Minister and from the leaders of the various Opposition parties. It is notable that the members of the fourth estate have gone away already, to decide why they got their predictions so wrong and whether you have a fine turn of calf which merits a certain kind of Victorian dress—who knows? To reflect the comments of the hon. Member for South...

Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [ Lords] ( 1 Jun 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: My hon. Friend has moved on now, but I was quite taken by his reference to the efficiency, or lack of it, of Hackney and Liverpool in the 1980s, which still bore comparison with central Government. He will recall well that councillors were removed from office at that time because of a notional loss of £110,000 due to the late setting of a rate. Can he tell me of any Minister who has been...

Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [ Lords] ( 1 Jun 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: The hon. Lady rightly emphasises the prescriptive nature of parts of the Bill. She implies, in her critique, a need for devolution down to a local level. I want to hear what her party proposes in terms of devolving real power down to a local level.

Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [ Lords] ( 1 Jun 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: I am intrigued by the fact that, although my right hon. Friend rightly says we ought to encourage greater participation and local democracy, we are now talking about the RDAs. In the case of the Liverpool city region, the RDA is channelling all the European structural funding to the Mersey Partnership, which started off as an unelected, glorified tourism operation and is accountable to...

Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [ Lords] ( 1 Jun 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: The Secretary of State is being very patient with us. I have nothing against regional strategies; indeed, quite the reverse, having seen what the other lot did for many years. Having a partnership to decide the regional strategy is one thing, but is it not the case that the regional development agency effectively holds a gun to the elected members' heads simply by virtue of the fact that it...

Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology (20 May 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: For the avoidance of any confusion among people who may or may not read Hansard, can the Minister confirm that two separate issues are under consideration? The first is about the extension of services to Aintree hospital in my constituency, which my hon. Friend the Member for Wirral, South (Ben Chapman) welcomes, as do I. The second debate is about what will happen down the track, but the...

Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology (20 May 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: I know what a redoubtable defender and advocate my hon. Friend is of Clatterbridge hospital and the fine services it provides. That is to his credit, but will he say a little more about the plans for outreach across other hospitals in the region? I know that both he and I support that outreach in order to ensure that the excellent services currently provided get to a wider audience.

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Taxation (Households) (28 Apr 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: On the question of tax, specifically fair tax, is it not entirely consistent with Labour values and principles that those who have benefited most over the past 15 years—during the good times—such as the 17 millionaires on the Tory Front Bench, should be the ones who pay their fair share now that we are in a downturn? Does the Minister agree?

Royal Assent: Defence in the UK (26 Mar 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: Will the hon. Gentleman also touch on the changes taking place in Europe, notably the decision by the Czechs no longer to participate in the futile missile defence programme, which the official Opposition, along with the Government, seem to be hellbent on pursuing, regardless of Obama coming into office?

Royal Assent: Defence in the UK (26 Mar 2009)

Peter Kilfoyle: It is not only distinguished ex-military personnel, but they have been fairly outspoken. I would far sooner listen to people who have been on the front line than the armchair generals of the television studios or newspaper columns. Ted Postol, the man who designed the Trident system, has pointed out that it could be adapted for the needs of our country, if that is what we wish, instead of...
