HS2 Cancellation and Network North — [Philip Davies in the Chair] (17 Jan 2024)

Jack Brereton: I thank my hon. Friend for that point. It is essential that the Handsacre link goes ahead, otherwise there is no way to connect those services back on to the west coast main line to provide that service into Manchester, Liverpool, the rest of the north-west and ultimately up to Scotland. It is vital that the Handsacre link is done right and that we see HS2 connect not just on to the slow...

Home Department: Asylum Seekers: Hotels (15 Jan 2024)

Jack Brereton: What recent progress he has made on ending the use of hotels for asylum seekers.

Home Department: Asylum Seekers: Hotels (15 Jan 2024)

Jack Brereton: I welcome the progress that has been made on tackling illegal small boat crossings, which has meant it has been possible to end the use of the North Stafford hotel in Stoke-on-Trent. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is only through the most unequivocable legislation on Rwanda that we can deliver proper deterrence that will mean that numbers will come down further?

Justice: Access to Legal Advice ( 9 Jan 2024)

Jack Brereton: What steps he is taking to increase early access to legal advice.

Justice: Access to Legal Advice ( 9 Jan 2024)

Jack Brereton: I thank the Minister for that response. Like many Members across this House, I regularly have constituents coming to me with many legal issues needing legal advice and support. Obviously, many Members are not appropriately qualified to offer that legal advice and support. Citizens Advice in Stoke-on-Trent are doing an excellent job trying to support many of my constituents with legal issues,...

NHS Winter Update ( 8 Jan 2024)

Jack Brereton: May I first thank Tracy Bullock, the chief executive of University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, who has announced her retirement today due to ill health. We have been making significant progress in north Staffordshire with improvements to health services. Nursing vacancies have declined significantly over the last year and £13.4 million has been invested in improving urgent and...

Treasury: Business Investment (19 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: What steps his Department is taking to help increase the level of business investment.

Treasury: Business Investment (19 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: I thank the Minister for that response. It is very welcome to see full expensing, which will help businesses to invest in the plant and machinery and the technology that are needed. It would also help the ceramics sector, in particular, if it were exempted from the emissions trading scheme. Will my hon. Friend speak to the Chancellor about the possibility of exempting the ceramics sector from...

Business of the House (14 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: Last week, we had the launch of Ceramics UK in Parliament. The sector suffers from a number of challenges, particularly due to energy costs and the need to decarbonise. Will my right hon. Friend facilitate a debate in Government time about the support needed for the ceramics sector and other energy-intensive sectors?

Transport: High Speed 2 (14 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: As the Minister will know, I very much welcome the decision on phase 2 of HS2. However, there is still an impact on many land and property owners in Staffordshire. We heard in the Transport Committee that it could take up to two years to get land back to those owners. Will my hon. Friend look into this urgently to ensure that those property owners—particularly farmers, who need to know when...

Education: Local Skills Needs: Education Providers and Businesses (11 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: What steps her Department is taking to help ensure that tertiary and technical education providers work with businesses to meet local skills needs.

Education: Local Skills Needs: Education Providers and Businesses (11 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: I thank my right hon. Friend for that response. Stoke-on-Trent College has recently launched its new “Skills Ready, Future Ready” strategy and has been working with a number of employers locally to fill skills shortages, and it is very welcome to see the local skills improvement fund investment of around £3 million for Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire, but given our industries locally...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 6 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: Longton, the largest town in my constituency, has not benefited from future high streets funding, from town deals, or from the latest long-term plan for towns. Will my right hon. Friend ensure that it can have some investment from the Government, and does he agree that some of the latest National Lottery Heritage Fund award to Stoke-on-Trent should definitely be invested there?

Town Centre Safety ( 5 Dec 2023)

Jack Brereton: Although I do not agree with everything that the hon. Member for Birmingham, Yardley (Jess Phillips) said, I agree with some points that she made. In Stoke-on-Trent we certainly see some of the issues that she mentioned. I am pleased to speak in this Opposition day debate on keeping our town centres safe. I know that Members across the House care about that, but it is important to reflect...

Net Migration Figures (28 Nov 2023)

Jack Brereton: The UK has been an extremely open and welcoming country, but I think most people can see that even the most basic maths shows that numbers in the hundreds of thousands are not sustainable and cannot continue. This is having an unbearable impact on our housing, on our public services and particularly on schools. In schools in Stoke-on-Trent, some of the classrooms have nearly every single...

Energy Security and Net Zero: Topical Questions (28 Nov 2023)

Jack Brereton: If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.

Energy Security and Net Zero: Topical Questions (28 Nov 2023)

Jack Brereton: Given the success of exempting the ceramics sector from the climate change levy, and the risks of carbon leakage from offshoring the industry, will my right hon. Friend seriously consider exempting the ceramics sector from the emissions trading scheme?

Autumn Statement Resolutions - Rates of Tobacco Products Duty (27 Nov 2023)

Jack Brereton: It is a pleasure to speak in this debate, not least because the Chancellor confirmed, as many of us predicted, that the Government would not just meet the target of halving inflation by the end of the year, but do significantly better. Forecasting is, of course, never an exact science. As the OBR report says: “The economy has proved to be more resilient to the shocks of the pandemic and...

Home Department: Illegal Migration (27 Nov 2023)

Jack Brereton: What steps he is taking to tackle illegal migration.
