  • Points of Order 2 Nov 2022

    Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. I am appalled at ITV’s recent treatment of the threats to MPs. I have been used as a marketing tool by both Hope not Hate and ITV. What excuse is there for a press release that says, “Who is Rosie Cooper and who wanted to murder her?” There is no defence to that. Let us test the public interest defence to this despicable behaviour. I call on...
  • Prime Minister: Engagements 12 Oct 2022

    My constituents were absolutely delighted that the fracking application in West Lancashire was withdrawn after a moratorium was declared. Since then, we have not seen any new scientific evidence that indicates that fracking would now be safe. Despite that, the Government have decided to reverse that moratorium, committing to granting fracking licences only in areas that have local consent. I...
  • Health and Social Care: Mileage Expenses Reimbursement: NHS Community Care Staff 19 Jul 2022

    What assessment he has made of the adequacy of the rate of reimbursement for mileage expenses for NHS community care staff.
  • Health and Social Care: Mileage Expenses Reimbursement: NHS Community Care Staff 19 Jul 2022

    Motorists across the country have seen the cost of fuel increase by as much as 60p per litre since this time last year. Fuel costs are penalising the many NHS staff who treat patients in the community for simply doing their job. The current reimbursement rate of 56p per mile drops to 20p after staff have travelled 3,500 miles, and that has not been adjusted since 2014. Does the Secretary of...
  • Health and Social Care: NHS Integrated Care Systems 14 Jun 2022

    What assessment he has made of the effect of integrated care systems on cross-boundary NHS trusts.
  • Health and Social Care: NHS Integrated Care Systems 14 Jun 2022

    Notwithstanding the Minister’s comments, Cheshire and Merseyside integrated care system has recently made the decision to stop my West Lancashire constituents accessing routine dermatology at St Helens Hospital, which is the only nearby provider. Due to geography, my constituents are in the Lancashire ICS, and are therefore not represented in Cheshire-Mersey—in place or local authorities....
  • Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Fire and Rehire 7 Jun 2022

    Whether he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to prohibit fire and rehire practices.
  • Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Fire and Rehire 7 Jun 2022

    Last year, when British Gas threatened thousands of its staff with fire and rehire, one of my constituents wrote and told me that the “human cost” had been the saddest part, and that “the mental health strain on me and my colleagues has been so very difficult to watch.” Since 2020, almost 3 million workers have been told to reapply for their jobs, with worse conditions. I heard the...
