Aaron Bell: ...from my own speech. They are all equally jaw-dropping in their way. I focused perhaps on some of the better known clubs and examples. I thank the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Manchester, Withington (Jeff Smith), for what he said. He is right that it is all very well our criticising the crypto firms, but it is really the clubs that we should be talking about. They should be in it...

Emma Lewell-Buck: I heard the Minister’s response to my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Withington (Jeff Smith), but the reality is that the changes to licensing criteria have reduced transparency and accountability. Can the Minister explain the rationale for changing Government guidance on granting licences from refusing a licence if there is a clear risk that items may be used in violation of...
Wendy Chamberlain: ...As for myself, I was the first female director of the Camanachd Association between 2017 and 2019. It is also important for people to see that. The shadow Minister, the hon.

Clive Efford: The Secretary of State was very upbeat in her response to the Opposition Front Bencher, my hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Withington (Jeff Smith), who asked about local authority leisure centres. They are in financial distress because of the rising costs of energy, and that is particularly true of those that run swimming pools. Is the Secretary of State saying that they are safe for...
Nigel Huddleston: ...Margaret Beckett), my hon. Friends the Members for Bolsover (Mark Fletcher), for North West Leicestershire (Andrew Bridgen) and for Amber Valley (Nigel Mills), and the hon.

Nigel Huddleston: ...pursued in the courts. It is not banter; it is not something to be taken trivially. It can and should lead to pursuits in the courts. The Opposition spokesperson, the hon. Member for Manchester, Withington (Jeff Smith), also made the important point that times change and attitudes change, and it is not really an excuse to say, “Oh, well, we used to do this in the past.” My hon....
Andrew Stephenson: ...the challenges local residents face while delivering this transformational project. It is worth me focusing on Manchester Piccadilly underground station, as the hon.

Friends the Members for Heywood and Middleton (Chris Clarkson) and for High...

Heather Wheeler: The hon. Lady asks a number of questions. Regarding the question asked by the hon. Member for Manchester, Withington (Jeff Smith), the landlord wants the property back and wants to redevelop the area, which will bring other jobs to the area.
