Janet Daby: ...average cost for a looked after child in private residential care in 2020/21 was approximately £254,000 per annum and £217,000 for a child in an local authority placement: https://www.pssru.ac.uk/pub/uc/uc2021/services.pdf. Costs may vary depending on factors such as location and the child’s level of need.
.... We will build on the success of the summary case management pilot, which has shown a significant increase in the number of early disposals. We will work with our colleagues in the criminal defence bar to proactively resolve cases earlier and reduce the time that accused persons may spend on remand. Judges make decisions about whether bail is granted for those who are liable to...
Baroness Fraser of Craigmaddie: ...rest of us, who do not rely on assistance, take for granted. What they need and want are good PAs, personal assistants, who help you do what you want, whether that is going to work or going to the pub. Such flexible outcomes do not fit easily into local authority care packages, and there are not enough PAs. Many of the agencies previously supplying staff did not survive Covid. People are...
Ben Maguire: ...Liberal Democrat representatives who fought tirelessly for our area. I was honoured to receive the support and advice of all three former Members during my election campaign. They have set the bar very high indeed. Although the election campaign was mostly a positive experience, we did have one crisis moment. Having advertised a meet and greet where cream teas would be sold, the real...
Sarah Green: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy to reduce beer duty in line with cider.
Jonathan Reynolds: ...fire and rehire and fire and replace practices, strengthening rights and requirements for collective redundancy consultation, and banning exploitative zero hours contracts, we will raise the bar for workers and provide a baseline of security in work. The Plan to Make Work Pay sets out a vision for better, modernised, and fairer employment protections that will set the country up for the...
Adam Jogee: ...named among the UK’s best universities at contributing to local growth and regeneration in the recent iteration of the knowledge exchange framework run by Research England. Keele, working with the Bar Council, has advanced the “Keele in Town” programme, which will see the transformation of an empty 19th-century building in the heart of Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre into a...
Baroness Hayman of Ullock: ...of pounds and take years to unpick the current ownership model; it would slow down our reforms, leave sewage pollution to get only worse and stall much- needed investment. There is a very high bar for the imposition of a special administration regime. The Government and Ofwat will always act to protect consumers as a priority, and any intervention that would increase customer bills would...
Ayoub Khan: ...speech by the hon. Member for Aldershot (Alex Baker)? When I was studying law with aspirations of becoming a barrister, I often recalled the words of Lord David Pannick KC. He once said that the Bar is like the Ritz hotel: the doors are open to all, but only a select few ever get in. Those words resonate as I stand here, privileged to represent my Birmingham Perry Bar constituents. There...
Lisa Nandy: ...have laid the legislation today. And on a personal note, I am very well aware of what Northern Ireland can offer the people of the United Kingdom, because “Derry Girls” is my favourite TV show, bar none.
Carla Lockhart: ..., and the 10 million people across the UK who consume Northern Ireland’s top-quality produce on a daily basis. We DUP Members take great pride in the fact that Northern Ireland sets a high bar for food quality, animal welfare and environmental standards. Our farms are committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that food is produced responsibly and with respect for our landscapes and...
Chris Bryant: .... Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West also made a good point about a tourism career. That is something we need to take far more seriously as a country. Why is it that somebody who works in a bar in Paris, or in a restaurant in France, Spain, or wherever, thinks that is a career for life, whereas we think it is somehow a demeaning job, which it is not? We need to completely transform...
John Mason: ...where the poverty situation is considerably worse. The United Nations’ definition of extreme poverty is living on less than $2.15 per day or $785 per year. However, even with that incredibly low bar for extreme poverty, some 712 million people—one in 11 globally—live below it. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rate of children living in extreme poverty, with numbers reaching 40 per...
Samuel Kurtz: ...was on the menu? Salads at $29, lobster kebab at $51, and French fries for $12—far from a celebration of Welsh food and culture on St David's Day. Over £2,300 was also spent in a New York Irish bar called Donnelly's, when there is quite literally a Welsh bar in New York, operated and owned by Welsh people. Could the First Minister outline what checks and balances are there on their...
Priti Patel: ...around this. Class sizes are going to increase in state schools. How is that going to increase the educational outcomes of children attending state schools? How is that going to raise the bar and increase standards in state schools? We all believe in good educational outcomes for all children across the entire country and we want our education system to be first class and to serve all...
Gareth Snell: ...do. Importantly for our younger generation, it is also about how we translate the opportunities that exist now into real opportunity. That is why, having run through all the letters of the alphabet bar two, I will move on to a couple of questions for the Minister. First, will he visit and meet some of the organisations, so that he can see first hand the excellent work that we are doing not...
Jerome Mayhew: ...novel, hypothecated tax: education has always been tax free in this country and, in fact, around the world. Even going back to the last flowering of Labour’s socialism in the 1970s, when there was beer and sandwiches in No. 10, there was no suggestion that we should take socialism into the classroom in the way that this Government are. If tax take is in fact the rationale, where is the...
Ian Sollom: I congratulate the hon. Member for Gloucester (Alex McIntyre) on an excellent maiden speech. He packed an awful lot into just over five minutes and set the bar very high for me. I am aware that I am being watched by you, Madam Deputy Speaker. It is an immense honour and hugely humbling to address the House for the first time as the first ever MP for St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire. The new...
Craig Hoy: I am glad that my question was a prompt for the minister to meet the industry. As the recent report on brand Scotland by the Parliament’s cross-party group on beer and pubs confirms, 2 per cent of Scotland’s pubs closed last year, compared with 0.9 per cent in England. The report makes a number of recommendations on how to stem losses. In my area, the Goblin Ha in Gifford,...
Doug Beattie: I thank the Minister for that. You are probably right — of course you are — but, if the Northern Ireland Bar has a concern, it is only right and proper that we look at it in detail; and that is what I am talking about. The no bill piece in the Bill makes absolute sense, and we have no issue with that. There has been a lot of discourse about what will be added to the Bill at a later stage....
