Asylum and Migration (14 Mar 2024)

Alison Thewliss: ...to feed their children adequately.” That desperately poor and deeply harmful experience is being provided by Home Office contractors, who have seen their profits soar. Clearsprings and Stay Belvedere Hotels Ltd, for example, have made a combined profit of over £113 million, and Serco and Mears are also profiting handsomely from those lucrative contracts. The UK Government often claim...

Ukraine - Motion to Take Note (26 Jan 2024)

Lord Glasman: ...of being in Ukraine is the uniform affection for Britain that characterises people throughout it. We have established trust, which is an incredible thing.

Safety of School Buildings (23 May 2023)

Kim Johnson: I thank all the hard-working teaching and support staff in my Liverpool, Riverside constituency.

The consequences of such a...

They said that many pet owners were going without meals themselves in order to feed their pets, and that one couple from Belvedere, also in my constituency, had said that the price of dog food had risen by 12% month on month. Would the Minister be willing to meet me, along with representatives of the Dogs Trust,...

School (Reform of Pupil Selection) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 2 Dec 2022)

Lord Adonis: The noble Lord is making his case, but the school in which it was piloted in Liverpool, the Belvedere School, has since joined the state system as a state academy and does not have selective admissions or fees any more. Might there not be a lesson from this that if more of these elite private schools joined the state system, access to them would be much more open than with them charging fees...

Questions to the Mayor of London — Waste and food waste over Christmas: Waste and food waste over Christmas (10 Feb 2022)

Leonie Cooper: ...the number of incinerators in London and also the potential for increasing incinerators.

the Earl of Devon: ...England has long contributed substantial capital grants for existing heritage restoration works. Indeed, this is under the HLS programme. An example would be the award-winning restoration of the belvedere overlooking the Exminster marshes, which was substantially repaired thanks to an HLS and Natural England grant as a historic natural landscape feature. Could the Minister comment on that?...

Covid-19: Hospitality Industry (24 Mar 2021)

Abena Oppong-Asare: ..., not long after that, all pubs were once again required to close. Other pub owners in my constituency have contacted me, including the owners of The Duchess of Kent in Erith and The Victoria in Belvedere.

Unsafe Cladding: Protecting Tenants and Leaseholders ( 1 Feb 2021)

Daniel Zeichner: ...estate who rightly tell of their own circumstances. There are the young mums whose dream homes have turned into a nightmare. Sadly, it is not the only development. There is the flagship Belvedere that has been a problem since Grenfell; Pym Court; and the Grand Central development. I am afraid that I do not have time to list all the problems, but the problems have been made worse by the...

Christmas Adjournment (17 Dec 2020)

Sir David Amess: .... I was very disappointed when Nazareth House closed, but I am delighted to say that it is now being used as a coronavirus testing centre, so the ethos of caring still remains there. With the Belvedere on Leigh Cliffs, too much money has been wasted on a project that is a magnet for drug abuse and antisocial behaviour. That is just getting worse, but I praise the wonderful work of...

Covid-19 (28 Sep 2020)

Andrew Bowie: ...cannot be underestimated, and I was pleased to do my bit, especially supporting eat out to help out at Castleton Farm, the Leys Hotel, Banchory Lodge, the Tor-na-Coille Hotel, the Deeside Inn, the Belvedere Hotel, Molly’s, the Westhill Holiday Inn and many more.

Summer Adjournment (22 Jul 2020)

Sir David Amess: ...recently. I congratulate all the local police officers on the way they have tackled antisocial behaviour, which has spiked recently. But I think the money that has been wasted on restoring the Belvedere is to be questioned—there is lots of graffiti back on it again. Like my neighbouring colleagues, I was horrified when I learned about proposals to reorganise local government, with an...

Agriculture Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 6 ( 7 Jul 2020)

the Earl of Devon: ...to death with baseball bats. We have chestnut blight throughout our woods spread by spores, which are carried on feet, and asbestos fly-tipped in ancient forests. I have just restored the belvedere tower that was burnt down by vandals more than 50 years ago. Public access to the countryside is quite sobering and your Lordships might be surprised that I am very supportive of it. It really...

Questions to the Mayor of London — Edmonton Eco Park: Edmonton Eco Park (17 Jun 2020)

Sadiq Khan: ...period for bringing a statutory challenge to the development consent order has expired.  I am focused on making sure that this facility, and London’s three other incinerators, SELCHP (Lewisham), Belvedere (Bexley) and Beddington (Sutton), manage truly non-recyclable waste, maximise use of both the heat and electricity generated, and operate to the most stringent air quality standards...
