Funding for Youth Services — [Derek Twigg in the Chair] (28 Feb 2024)

Paulette Hamilton: ...guarantee. However, people in my community know those promises too well. It seems that everywhere the Government promise to level up gets left behind, including in communities such as Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale. Make no mistake: people in constituencies across the country will be holding the Government to their pledges—they are what children in our communities deserve....

Knife and Sword Ban ( 6 Feb 2024)

Paulette Hamilton: ...serious violence taskforce has been disbanded, and everyone knows from their own communities that too little is being done to divert young people away from violence and crime. People in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale have been left to face the consequences of Tory knife crime failure, and the B23 postcode in my constituency has the highest rate of knife crime in the west midlands,...

Violence Reduction, Policing and Criminal Justice (15 Nov 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ...issue of crime and confidence in our police and criminal justice system. Under the Conservative Government, crime and antisocial behaviour are having a massive impact on communities in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale.

Birmingham City Council (19 Sep 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: Birmingham is the eighth local authority to declare a section 114 notice since the Tories took power, causing huge concerns to my residents in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale. Across the UK, councils are struggling with rising prices and limited budgets, and most are being forced to make even deeper cuts next year. Can the Secretary of State accept that local leaders need certainty...

UK Automotive Industry (18 Sep 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: In communities such mine in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale, the automotive industry is our lifeblood, and it is no wonder that families are seriously worried about job decline. Does my hon. Friend agree that we need to prioritise not only job creation but upskilling, so that jobs can be created and sustained locally?

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill - Report (8th Day): Amendment 264 (18 Sep 2023)

Lord Rooker: ...diversions are so prevalent and sparks can be created. After an explosion, of which there have been more in recent years, we are simply told: “possible gas leak”. In fact, a house in the Kingstanding part of my former constituency disappeared in such an explosion last year. One example given by Conor McGlone was when Gordon Mackenzie, formerly of SP Energy Networks, became aware of a...

Cost of Living: Private rented sector — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] (18 Jul 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ...this incredibly important debate. The cost of living is one of the most difficult challenges facing people across the UK. It comes up on the doorstep and in my constituency surgeries in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale time after time. My constituents, just like many people across the UK, are really struggling to manage the rising costs of energy and food. A constituent told me that...

Smokefree 2030 Target (20 Jun 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ..., which was published a year ago, found that, without further action, England will miss the smoke-free target by at least seven years, and the poorest areas, such as my communities in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale, will not meet it until 2044. We are still to see the Government’s new tobacco control plan more than a year later. It is ridiculous that, since the Smokefree 2030...

Antisocial Behaviour in Town Centres — [Esther McVey in the Chair] (26 Apr 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ...constituents told me that a lot of people do not report crimes because they do not think the police will even bother to come out.

Another told me that his 70-year-old father carries a personal attack alarm when he goes on...

Health and Social Care: Access to Primary Care ( 7 Mar 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: Under the Tories, the number of qualified GPs has fallen to a record low, which is hitting local communities across the UK very hard. In January, in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale, more than 2,000 people had to wait more than a month for a GP appointment. Is it not the case that the longer the Tories are in power, the longer patients will have to wait?

Future of the NHS (23 Feb 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ...that at first hand with the NHS in the last year. That worry is felt right at the heart of our communities, time and again.

One of my constituents rang up her local...

NHS: Long-term Strategy (11 Jan 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ...—they are now so busy that staff feel that they can seem, at times, like a zoo. Social care needs fundamental reform that truly brings together health and social care. People in Erdington, Kingstanding, Castle Vale and across the UK are finding it almost impossible to get a GP appointment, an ambulance or an operation when they need one, but the implications of stress on the health of...

Public Bill Committee: Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Bill: Clause 3 - National Supported Housing Standards (11 Jan 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: ...living in a five-bedroom house where partitions have been put in and the toilet is broken. For the last four months, rats have been running around the house. This is happening in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale. I have heard from other constituents. One woman who came to my surgery is living in exempt accommodation. She is heavily pregnant. At the moment, the property has bed bugs...

Future of Postal Services (10 Jan 2023)

Paulette Hamilton: I thank my hon. Friend for securing such an important debate. Post office staff work really hard, including in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale. We have seven post offices, but I understand that, despite one in five people visiting post offices every week, there are serious concerns about franchises being lost across the country. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government should...

Management of the Economy and Ministerial Severance Payments (15 Nov 2022)

Paulette Hamilton: ...’ pay is falling by £1,300 on average, and everyone is feeling the hit from the rising cost of energy, food and fuel.

People in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale have been contacting me, worried about the impact the cost of living crisis is having on their finances. Many older people in my community are facing tough choices...

Economic Situation (12 Oct 2022)

Paulette Hamilton: Why does the Chief Secretary think that the Nobel prize winner Paul Krugman said that the mini-Budget was “stupid and cruel”? I know that that is how my constituents in Erdington, Kingstanding and Castle Vale think.

Tributes to Her Late Majesty the Queen (10 Sep 2022)

Making Britain the Best Place to Grow Up and Grow Old (16 May 2022)

Paulette Hamilton: ...we were acutely aware of the difficulties that other small businesses were experiencing back then. At the same time, I trained as a nurse and worked at the local health centre in Warren Farm Road, Kingstanding, for several years. My career in the health service lasted for over 25 years, and it has truly shaped my political career. As I have already noted, Erdington is a very diverse part...

Speaker’s Statement: Jack Dromey ( 2 Feb 2022)

Gary Sambrook: Thank you for squeezing me in, Mr Speaker. I had known Jack for about 12 years, since he was first selected to stand in Birmingham, Erdington, and I am still a councillor in Kingstanding in his constituency. I have to confess that Jack and I did not always see eye to eye on every issue. I think the first time we met was on Aylesbury Crescent in Kingstanding, where we did not exactly meet on...
