Welsh Affairs (5 Mar 2001)

Mr Nigel Evans: .... Although the rally will not now occur, the reasons for it remain. The Prime Minister must listen to the people who live and work in the countryside. It was amazing that any time was given to the Hunting Bill in the House last week, while the foot and mouth crisis was under way. It would have been far better to suspend such a debate at a time when the agriculture industry is in such deep...

Welsh Affairs (5 Mar 2001)

Mr Nigel Evans: ...service expenditure and ensure that the money is effectively spent. Although the Secretary of State has a diminished role post-devolution, he has twice as many special advisers in his Department as David Hunt had when he was Secretary of State and had much more to do.

Welsh Affairs (5 Mar 2001)

Mr Nigel Evans: ...to England and Wales, but we are not allowed to vote on those same issues as they relate to Scotland. The Secretary of State must accept that Scottish Members can vote on legislation to ban hunting with hounds as it affects England and my constituency and as it affects his constituency, but we cannot vote on it as it affects their constituencies. Even more absurd is the fact that even...

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: Chorley Hospital (24 Oct 2000)

Mr Nigel Evans: .... Talk about the postcode lottery. The authority will not pay because it does not recognise the procedure. However, the procedure is carried out at St. Thomas's.

Through you, Mr. Speaker, may I ask the Secretary of State to ascertain what...

Orders of the Day — Government of Wales Bill: Relations with Local Government (3 Feb 1998)

Mr Nigel Evans: .... It is important to have an open-door policy so that local representatives can go to the Welsh Office, as I did in regard to the land in Ty Coch.
