Recent appearances

• Free Childcare — [Andrew Rosindell in the Chair] 12 Oct 2017

  I will definitely take only four minutes, Mr Rosindell. I congratulate the hon. Member for High Peak (Ruth George) on obtaining what is a key debate. I do not doubt that she has had feedback; I have had similar feedback in South Suffolk, where we have excellent provision.

• Prisons Policy/HMP Long Lartin 12 Oct 2017

  Of course it is of concern that an event like this should take place at a high-security prison. However, if there is one conclusion we can draw, surely it is that the method of dealing with such events that is available to the Minister through the Tornado team is effective when tested, which, in itself, should give the public some reassurance.

• Finance Bill: Business Investment Relief 11 Oct 2017

  Is the hon. Lady seriously suggesting that, under a Labour Government, HMRC would never negotiate with a company over its tax bill?
