Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Supreme Court (Running Costs) (10 Nov 2009) has video

James Duddridge: I am hesitating because I am not sure that I understood what you just said, Mr. Speaker. When the Minister meets the chief executive to discuss the running costs, will he consider whether it is good for democracy that an individual has to spend £350 just to see the documents at the Supreme Court?

Business of the House (22 Oct 2009) has video

James Duddridge: May we have an urgent debate on the direct payment of housing benefit? Although it is right for some, for a few people who, through no fault of their own, are disorganised, it is causing chaotic finances, which is especially problematic in the centre of a recession.

Women and Equality: Married Couples (Armed Forces) (22 Oct 2009) has video

James Duddridge: A 20-year-old British soldier is about to be posted back to Afghanistan. He has a wife and children, and the wife happens to be a foreign national. Because the soldier is 20 and not 21, he does not have the security of knowing that his wife and children can come to the United Kingdom. Is that right?

Bills Presented: Summer Recess Adjournment (21 Jul 2009)

James Duddridge: I want to speak about aeroplanes, tax and flowers—a combination that probably has not been addressed by the House so far. I shall speak first about planes. There has been much debate recently about Heathrow. I opposed the third runway there and I also oppose the development of the Thames estuary airport that is sometimes known as "Heathrow-on-Sea" or "Boris Island". Whatever it is...

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Topical Questions (21 Jul 2009) has video

James Duddridge: May I ask the Secretary of State to return to the issue of trainee probation officers and to clear up a point of confusion? I think that he accused my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Harborough (Mr. Garnier) of exaggerating the figures, but is it not true that around 1,000 trainee probation officers qualify each year for about 250 jobs? Does not that mean that hundreds of people...

Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Museums (20 Jul 2009) has video

James Duddridge: I thank the Minister for that reply. Perhaps it shows my ignorance but I do not know what a hub museum is. The museums in Southend are very good, but residents and children in particular from Southend often travel to London to visit some of the larger museums. What more can be done through the renaissance programme to encourage visits to regional museums, particularly by people from the east...

James Duddridge: Following the Chancellor's pledge over the weekend that our forces will have whatever they need, how does the Secretary of State anticipate funding future operational requirements, given that in future years his ministry will have to pay back every penny over £635 million that it spends on urgent operational requirements? Is that not a case of robbing the future to pay for the military today?

James Duddridge: Following discussions between the Prime Minister and Morgan Tsvangirai, the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, may we have a debate in Government time on what the British Government can do to assist Zimbabweans who want to return to their country to help to rebuild it?
