Free School Meals and Child Poverty ( 8 Sep 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: Ahead of today, we had already announced a significant package of support for those most in need—I outlined the extra £400. Local authorities also have the household support grant scheme, which is accessible by people who are in need and is an opportunity for those who have fallen through certain gaps to access funding they may require. We need to invest in home-grown energy and drive...

Free School Meals and Child Poverty ( 8 Sep 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: It was important to mention the announcement today about help with energy costs, because those costs are playing a large role in the pressures that all households face, and that absolutely feeds into this debate. The hon. Lady raises an important question about free school meals over the summer period. For families who have been eligible for that support, the Government are investing more...

Free School Meals and Child Poverty ( 8 Sep 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: I thank the hon. Gentleman. However, one of the benefits of the holiday activities fund is that the decision making is given to local authorities, so that they can design systems that meet the need in their areas and make sure that they design tailored programmes and deliver services to meet the individual needs of the people they serve. He should understand that the amount is £600 million...

Free School Meals and Child Poverty ( 8 Sep 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: As the hon. Gentleman knows, I very rarely refuse a request for a meeting. I am hoping to have many months to meet stakeholders, interested parties and people who feel as passionate as I do about these areas. I am confident that the safeguards we have in place mean that once a child is through the school gates in the morning, the one thing that they should never have to worry about is where...

Migration and Economic Development Partnership with Rwanda (15 Jun 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: May I commend my right hon. Friend for her determination to find solutions to the very real problem facing our shores, and for trying to break the model of people smugglers taking advantage of incredibly vulnerable people?

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill ( 8 Jun 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: I take exception to what the hon. Lady said.

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill ( 8 Jun 2022)

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 8 Jun 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: As my right hon. Friend knows, my constituency is facing unrealistic housing targets, which is putting pressure on the council to try to develop a local plan that would close a successful working docks and mean the loss of beloved open spaces such as Deangate Ridge, all in the name of meeting an arbitrary target. Can he reassure my constituents who are facing this level of over- development...

Independent Review of Children’s Social Care (23 May 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: I declare an interest, as my sister is a social worker. I have, over many years, seen poor outcomes for young people who have travelled through our care system, so I welcome the review and some of what was in it, but this is a complex area. As my hon. Friend the Minister mentioned, we have seen a number of reviews, and the many barriers in children’s social care that we all know about have...

Northern Ireland Protocol (17 May 2022)

Kelly Tolhurst: I welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement. Sadly, last week at the UK-EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly, Vice-President Šefčovič used incredibly disappointing language in relation to the UK. Does she agree that it is incumbent on the EU to enter into sensible negotiations with the United Kingdom to find practical and deliverable solutions to the real problems faced by the people of...

That is now stopping those businesses trading. What further assurance can he give to banks regarding these low-risk businesses?
