Fabian Hamilton: ...complex mental health problems, but local mental health services in Leeds are still chronically underfunded after 13 years of Conservative Government cuts.

However, in the meantime he experienced an unrelated physical health issue, in November 2018, and was sent to a private hospital—Spire Leeds Hospital in Roundhay —to see a surgeon, as they were contracting NHS services.

Alex Sobel: ...our economy away from London. That is the most important goal for our region and others. Yorkshire’s cultural achievements are legion: the world’s first ever film was filmed in 1888 in Roundhay; the first ever football club, Sheffield FC, was founded in 1874; and, as hon.

Nick Gibb: ...their time at school. Like the right hon. Member for Tottenham (Mr Lammy), I was a chorister, and equally angelic, although not in a cathedral but a large parish church— St Edmund’s church in Roundhay in Leeds. I regularly go to the theatre—the Donmar, the National and the Chichester Festival theatre—so I am as passionate as anybody here about the importance of arts education. We...

Bill Presented — Marriage (Same Sex Couples): Backbench Business — Voting Age (24 Jan 2013)

Apprenticeships and Skills (Public Procurement Contracts): Equitable Life (Payments) Bill (14 Sep 2010)

Fabian Hamilton: ...who are important in today's debate are those who have already waited more than nine years for recompense and are still waiting.

Fabian Hamilton: ...no idea when they move to the area that they are responsible for maintaining its banks. Will my right hon.

[David Taylor in the Chair] — Novice Drivers ( 7 Feb 2008)

Robert Goodwill: ...friends because we know how bad his driving is. If he had four or five young men in the car with him—or, even worse, young girls—he would drive in an even more dangerous way. I recently visited Roundhay school and talked to a group of sixth-formers. They were astounded to hear the fact that, for the girls in the room, the person most likely to kill them was their boyfriend. The most...

Can the Minister—
