Celia Barlow: I remember the work that my hon. Friend and I did on that very issue on the Environmental Audit Committee.

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: 21st Century Schools (30 Jun 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: I welcome my right hon. Friend's suggestion that local authorities have a responsibility to act. How will he assist them and make them act in Hove where we have a shortfall of more than 100 places, which means that parents have to take three buses to a local school? How will he ensure that Brighton and Hove Tory council acts with the urgency that parents and children need?

Commission for the Compact: Policing and Crime Bill (19 May 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: In Brighton and Hove, money was ring-fenced for a private Bill to change the licensing law, and there is a will among all parties to control the spread of lap dancing, particularly in small communities like my own in Hove or Slade. There is concern that, on a temporary basis, it will possible to hold up to 11 such events a year, and it will be very difficult to police them in the same...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (6 May 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: This weekend, I witnessed the great escape of Brighton and Hove Albion in securing its place in the first division. Its next goal of championship football is boosted by construction under way at Falmer Community stadium, which will eventually provide 66 apprenticeships, not to mention those involved in building it. That is a stark contrast to Brighton and Hove city council—

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Topical Questions (21 Apr 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: I welcome the Secretary of State's comments on flexibility for the use of empty shops, but I am sure that she would agree that it is best that those shops should not be empty, and that support should be given to our local small businesses, cafés and restaurants.

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Serious Convictions (DNA Evidence) (23 Mar 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer. The high figures that she quotes show how valuable DNA can be in both solving crimes and ensuring that the innocent do not suffer. I have been contacted by a number of my constituents who are concerned that cleared suspects' DNA evidence is still held on police databases, however, despite that having been ruled unlawful by the European Court of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (4 Mar 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: I am delighted that the Government have brought forward £900 million of capital funding for schools. Shockingly, however, the Conservative-led Brighton and Hove city council failed to take advantage of the £9 million available locally, despite admitting that there are not enough places for my local children. What advice does my right hon. and learned Friend have for councils that...

Opposition Day — [6th Allotted Day]: Law and Order (24 Feb 2009) has video

Celia Barlow: Brighton and Hove also took part in Operation Staysafe at the weekend, and it proved effective.

Celia Barlow: I thank my hon. Friend for his reply. Sussex ME and Chronic Fatigue Society works tirelessly to assist the 6,000 adults and children across the county who suffer from the disease, and several of those people have been contacted about the success of the lightning treatment. Will he assess that treatment, in conjunction with the bodies that he has mentioned, and monitor how successful it is?

Celia Barlow: With regard to what my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State said about ContactPoint, is he aware of, and does he give support to, the broad coalition of supporters of that important measure, which includes Barnardo's, Action for Children, and the Association of Chief Police Officers? Can he give me any indication of whether that support among professionals who work with children and wish...

Business of the House (22 Jan 2009) has video

Orders of the Day: Clause 44 — Variation and revocation of attendance notice (17 Nov 2008) has video

Celia Barlow: I regret that due to proceedings on other Government legislation, I was unable to hear my right hon. Friend's opening remarks. Some of my constituents combine a gap year with achieving level 3. Two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to visit Brighton Swimming Teachers Centre in Portslade. There, I met two young people who had achieved level 3 in swimming instruction, and who intended to go on to...
