Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Waste Crime (31 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: I would like to say, Mr Speaker, what a pleasure it has been to serve under your speakership during my time in Parliament. Recently, I went out with members of the National Farmers’ Union in my constituency and was horrified to discover a spate of fly-tipping of very dubious materials that then need to be checked by the landowner. The landowner has a responsibility to check out the...

Business of the House (28 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: The people want us to get on with the job. The withdrawal agreement Bill has passed its Second Reading. We should just agree a sensible programme motion, which is on offer. Why are we not getting on with the job and getting the job done?

Business of the House (24 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: My Small Business Saturday awards are an opportunity to celebrate the range and diversity of local small businesses. May we have a debate on the contribution that small businesses make to local communities and the economy?

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill (22 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: Juno Elsie Dakin was born last Thursday when this deal was being finalised in Europe. When she comes to maturity and is able to vote, she will be able to judge whether we did the right or wrong thing with the passage of this Bill. She will be able to judge whether we took steps to keep the Union together or whether it was imperilled, leading to Scotland and Northern Ireland leaving. She will...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill (22 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: In the end, we have to try to make this work. There is an obligation for us to work through it and, as my hon. Friend the Member for Ashfield (Gloria De Piero) said earlier, there will be an opportunity to do so if the Bill goes into Committee and if we have a decent programme motion. Frankly, what has been said about the programme motion is outrageous. As the right hon. and learned Member...

Business of the House (17 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: Yesterday many 1950s-born women, including Angie and Rosie from Scunthorpe, came here to speak to MPs about the pension injustice that they have been experiencing and the impact on their lives. Can we have an urgent debate on how to deliver better pension justice and pension fairness for these 1950s-born women?

Tata Steelworks: Newport ( 8 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: We have heard today about the Syndex report, which places a way forward on the table. Will the Government meet the unions, Syndex and Tata to see how that could be turned into the sort of plan that would deliver not only for this workforce and industry, but for UK plc?

Tata Steelworks: Newport ( 8 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this very timely debate. I represent a steel community in Scunthorpe, and we know exactly what it is like as a steel community to have these things happen. We stand side by side with the steel community in Newport. Does she think that the work the Community union and others have done through the Syndex report gives a possible way forward for the plant?

Preparations for Leaving the EU ( 8 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: As 31 October approaches, may I ask when the Government will deliver on their promise to put in place a UK version of the current EU steel safeguards?

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe ( 7 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: What more can the UK Government do to support Nazanin, Richard and their family, and to right this wrong?

Community Pharmacies — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 2 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: The Minister is setting out the aspiration well, but does she recognise that having no increase—even by inflation—for five years is a desperately big challenge for community pharmacies?

Community Pharmacies — [Sir David Crausby in the Chair] ( 2 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: It is a pleasure to serve with you chairing today, Sir David. It is also a pleasure to speak in a debate in which the contributions so far have been full of knowledge and experience of the grassroots. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Halifax (Holly Lynch) on securing it and on setting out at the start, from her own personal experience, the strength and importance of community...

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Loan Charge ( 1 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: If he will make it his policy to suspend the 2019 loan charge for the duration of the review commissioned by his Department of that charge.

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Loan Charge ( 1 Oct 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: What is clear is that the retrospective loan charge is causing huge pain and upset as people’s livelihoods and homes are threatened. Will the Minister ensure that the review hears directly from people who have been so affected, and will he either suspend the loan charge or at least tell HMRC that those who have signed a settlement agreement can pause their payments until the review has been...

Health Infrastructure Plan (30 Sep 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: I have with me a letter from the chief executive of North Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, which identifies a capital gap in excess of £247.36 million as of July 2019. Will the Minister meet local MPs to discuss how the Government can work with the trust to address this capital need?

Business of the House (26 Sep 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: My constituent Kayleigh Morgan was the victim of a serial rapist, Dimitris Aspiotis, when working in Corfu. In 2010 he was sentenced to 52 years in prison, so Kayleigh was shocked to learn in the media of his very early release. May we have a statement from the Foreign Secretary about what discussions have been held with Greece about the very early release of convicted rapists, and the impact...

Prime Minister's Update (25 Sep 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: That is not true, is it, because we have heard, and the Prime Minister has welcomed, the comments by my hon. Friend the Member for Ashfield (Gloria De Piero) and my right hon. Friend the Member for Don Valley (Caroline Flint)? So it would be really good if he could remain consistent with what he said a little bit earlier in what he says later; that would be a really positive thing. However,...

Education: Further and Higher Education: Quality and Choice ( 9 Sep 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: Will the Secretary of State build on that good start by raising the rate for 16-to-19 education to £4,760 per student, which would deliver what is being asked for?

Education Funding ( 3 Sep 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: The £200 uplift in 16-to-18 funding is welcome—but it is only a start; it is for only one year; and it falls short of the £760 per student for which Raise the Rate campaigners asked. Will the Secretary of State take an early opportunity to put that right?

Universal Health Coverage — [Mr Laurence Robertson in the Chair] (10 Jul 2019)

Nicholas Dakin: I congratulate the right hon. Member for North East Bedfordshire (Alistair Burt) on securing this debate and opening it so well. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that TB is a perfect example of the need for universal health coverage, and that if we invest well in TB programmes with universal health care in mind, it will make a real difference to developing countries across the world?
