[Geraint Davies in the Chair] — Faulty Electrical Imports (22 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: I appreciate my hon. Friend’s comments, and I am sure any speech he makes later will reflect his thoughts. Members of the House can help through the APPG on home electrical safety to find solutions and raise awareness. I am not sure whether the Minister has seen a counterfeit electrical product up close, but I hope he will join the APPG later this year. We have an event planned that will...

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Disability and Employment (14 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: Last Friday we heard that an additional £1.2 billion is to be cut from the PIP budget. That translates into £2,000 a year less for more than 60,000 claimants. What method or madness led the Minister to think that cutting support could help PIP claimants into work or to achieve independent living?

Backbench Business: Swansea Tidal Lagoon — [Mr Graham Brady in the Chair] ( 8 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: Can the Minister confirm that there will be somebody from Wales on that committee?

Backbench Business: Swansea Tidal Lagoon — [Mr Graham Brady in the Chair] ( 8 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Brady. I congratulate the hon. Member for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire (Simon Hart) on obtaining the debate. The issue is close to my heart, and the heart of my hon. Friend the Member for Aberavon (Stephen Kinnock). We have heard that Tidal Lagoon Power is entirely privately owned, so when in February the Department of Energy...

Carolyn Harris: Will the hon. Lady give way?

Backbench Business: Swansea Tidal Lagoon — [Mr Graham Brady in the Chair] ( 8 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: To go back to the hon. Lady’s comments on Wylfa and nuclear, does she not agree that the decommissioning costs of any nuclear project far outweigh any benefit that there would be in the on-costs to begin with?

Backbench Business: Swansea Tidal Lagoon — [Mr Graham Brady in the Chair] ( 8 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, since the mention of a tidal lagoon being in Swansea, his constituency, my constituency and the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Aberavon (Stephen Kinnock) have seen a great increase in the feel-good factor and a driving of the agenda to take forward other projects that would be less exciting without a tidal lagoon?

Backbench Business — Gangs and Serious Youth Violence: Welsh Affairs ( 3 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: We have become very accustomed to waiting for things in Wales. We waited a very long time for rail electrification, we waited patiently to get the Welsh national football team into the Euros and we waited a very long time for a Welsh premier league football club, but now Swansea City is there. Today, we waited a very long time for the Secretary of State to make an appearance in this very...

Backbench Business — Gangs and Serious Youth Violence: Welsh Affairs ( 3 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: It was nice to see him for a short period of time. We are now waiting for a review of the Swansea bay tidal lagoon. We waited a full year for the negotiations between the developer and the Government, and now we are being asked to wait while the Government establish an independent review of tidal lagoons nationwide. My first reaction to that news was to ask the very same questions that many...

Backbench Business — Gangs and Serious Youth Violence: Welsh Affairs ( 3 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: indicated assent.

Opposition Day — [19th Allotted Day] — Transitional State Pension Arrangements for Women (24 Feb 2016)

Carolyn Harris: Women of a certain age, of which I am one, from right across the United Kingdom are very angry about the position they find themselves in. If they were born in March 1953, like Jill in the Jack and Jill twins scenario, they will be absolutely livid, because Jack will get £155 a week under the single-tier state pension, while Jill will get £131, because she was born a woman. Where is the...

Opposition Day — [19th Allotted Day] — Transitional State Pension Arrangements for Women (24 Feb 2016)

Carolyn Harris: Ask your mother!

[Nadine Dorries in the Chair] — Under-occupancy Penalty (23 Feb 2016)

Carolyn Harris: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Dorries. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Cardiff Central (Jo Stevens), a fellow Welshwoman, on securing this debate. This is a contentious issue of great concern to many people in my consistency. The bedroom tax is discriminatory and punishing. I want to share two short stories. The first is of Megan Wheatland from Bonymaen...

[Nadine Dorries in the Chair] — Under-occupancy Penalty (23 Feb 2016)

Carolyn Harris: I certainly do. I have casework involving people who have taken out payday loans from Wonga and other organisations and have been unable to repay them without not paying their bedroom tax. It is a Catch-22. The bedroom tax financially punishes those forced to pay it. It discriminates against communities and individuals, and makes them unable to gel and enjoy stable, sustainable and adequate...

European Council (22 Feb 2016)

Carolyn Harris: It was interesting to hear the Prime Minister use the word “divorce” in connection with some of the less than helpful comments from the Mayor of London. I think we are all now fully aware that hell hath no fury like a Bullingdon boy scorned. I will be voting to stay in the European Union, and I will help the Prime Minister to convince others. However, if he has had such a good deal, why...
