Written Answers — Home Office: Shoplifting (28 Mar 2024)

Lord Sharpe of Epsom: The Government recognises the significant impact shoplifting and violence towards shopworkers has on businesses, communities, and consumers, as well as the loss to the economy. The Government has been clear we expect a zero-tolerance approach to retail crime and shoplifting. It’s difficult to produce reliable estimates of the cost of shoplifting. Many incidents do not come to the attention...

Scottish Parliament: Crystal FM Radio (28 Mar 2024)

Christine Grahame: It is a pleasure to speak—and not for the first time—on the importance of community radio. The debate focuses on Crystal FM, which is located in Penicuik, in my constituency, and particularly on the success of the station in winning the best community broadcaster award for the second time. I visited the studio recently, and very professional it is, too. I met Colin McCall, the anchorman,...

Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill - Second Reading (27 Mar 2024)

the Bishop of Manchester: ...and young people’s services in Greater London and, in 2022-23, it reached the milestone of having awarded over £200 million in grants since 1991. That is over 4,500 grants to over 1,700 organisations. The loss of marriage value could cost it around £3 million per year, money which would go to owners of apartments valued in the millions. John Lyon’s is not the kind of rogue landlord...

Scottish Parliament: Agriculture and Rural Communities (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1 (27 Mar 2024)

Finlay Carson: I am pleased to speak as the convener of the Rural Affairs and Islands Committee about our stage 1 report on the Agriculture and Rural Communities (Scotland) Bill. The bill and the direction of our future agriculture policy are of fundamental importance to Scotland. The committee has undertaken considerable work on the bill and agricultural policy over the past year, and I thank my committee...

Disability Benefits (26 Mar 2024)

Vicky Foxcroft: ...people, so it is no surprise for Members to hear me say that PIP and other disability benefits are a regular feature of the conversations that I have with disabled people, and disabled people’s organisations and charities. I can assure the House that even a brief mention of the phrases “PIP assessment” and “work capability assessment” is enough to strike genuine fear into the...

National Networks National Policy Statement (26 Mar 2024)

Bill Esterson: ...in development limbo for years on end as they wait for a decision, but the Transport Committee has warned that the gaps in this policy statement that I have just identified could lead to even more costly and time-consuming legal challenges to major projects on climate grounds. This would slow down our snail’s-pace planning system even further, and it is the taxpayer that would pay the...

Disposal of Waste (Advertising and Penalty Provision) (26 Mar 2024)

Paul Bristow: .... Fly-tipping is seen in both rural and urban areas, and it is simply not fair on hard-working people that their neighbourhoods are constantly the victim of this appalling behaviour. Moreover, the cost of cleaning up illegally dumped waste falls on those taxpayers, diverting resources that could be better spent on essential services and infrastructure. What can we do about this pervasive...

People Granted Asylum: Government Support (26 Mar 2024)

Tim Farron: ...the “move-on period” by those of who us are interested in this area and those who work in the sector, has exposed policy failings that have existed for years. The problem that those working in communities with refugees see is practice not mirroring policy, as well as policy simply not working. Currently there is a 28-day move-on period from when a person receives their grant of refugee...

RNLI Bicentenary — [Carolyn Harris in the Chair] (26 Mar 2024)

Anthony Mangnall: ...explain why so many families across the country have served the RNLI throughout its existence. In doing so, those volunteers have provided a magnificent, quiet heroism and public service to their communities, country and fellow human beings. The volunteer power of the RNLI is all the more remarkable when we consider that for almost the first 90 years, the lifeboats of the RNLI were powered...

Christians: Persecution - Question for Short Debate (25 Mar 2024)

Baroness Foster of Aghadrumsee: ...the world today. In January, along with many other MPs and Peers, I attended the launch of the 2024 Open Doors World Watch List here in Parliament. The Minister was there as well. Every year, this organisation compiles a report which sets out the 50 countries where it is most dangerous to be a Christian. This year, the research found that more than 365 million Christians suffer high levels...

Greater London Low Emission Zone Charging (Amendment) Bill (22 Mar 2024)

Fleur Anderson: ...and dementia in our hospitals. If no further action is taken to reduce air pollution, over the next 30 years around 550,000 Londoners will develop diseases related to poor air quality. That will cost the NHS and social care system in London £10.4 billion by 2050. Air pollution costs lives, but it also costs our public services. The first, inner-London ULEZ contributed to a 30% reduction...

Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill (22 Mar 2024)

Christopher Chope: ...the excellent team that looks after and conserves that safari park or game reserve. We could see with our own eyes that people were trying to poach the animals that were being looked after, and the cost of anti-poaching measures is incredibly high. How will that cost be funded unless it is paid for by the people who are engaged in the conservation? One small means by which they raise funds...

Human Rights: Sportswashing - Motion to Take Note (21 Mar 2024)

Lord Scriven: ...image via sport is around £4.9 billion, which is almost the equivalent of the GDP of Barbados. The Bahraini authorities have reportedly signed a new deal with F1, running through to 2036, which costs £41 million each year to stage F1 races there. Most, if not all, of this money is handed over to sporting ruling bodies, such as FIFA and F1, which are private bodies and rely on these...

Backbench Business: Easter and Christian Culture — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] (21 Mar 2024)

Liz Twist: ...Barry at the church of St Mary the Virgin in Whickham, which was built between the 12th and 14th centuries and has a long tradition and a great history. Father Barry has been a real part of the community, working with different people for many years. I pay tribute to him for all his work, and look forward to celebrating with him his years in Whickham. I will also talk about some of the...

Local Government Finances - Motion to Take Note (21 Mar 2024)

Baroness Taylor of Stevenage: ...Benches that more funding is going in, the fact is that it is not meeting either the rising demand for services, the increasing demand due to failures in other public services, inflationary costs, or the costs of dealing with multiple government initiatives. I am afraid it is just not good enough to say that this is just a few councils which have been badly managed, or to say that, if...

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Allergies (21 Mar 2024)

Andrew Stephenson: ...) are: - elective recovery, to address the backlog of people waiting for appointments or treatments; - care coordination, to enable the effective coordination of care between local health and care organisations and services, reducing the number of long stays in hospital; - vaccination and immunisation, to continue to support the vaccination and immunisation of vulnerable people while...

10. Short Debate: Saving lives and protecting our communities — The case for overdose prevention centres (20 Mar 2024)

Peredur Owen Griffiths: ...number of drug deaths; it has failed when you look at how drugs have become a significant factor in determining prison population; and it has failed when you look at the grip it has on many of our communities. We are subject to Westminster’s legislation, which is more than 50 years old, namely the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, which very much favours the stick rather than the carrot when it...

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula (20 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Evans: .... So, put simply, it just recognises that we need higher funding levels to deliver the same level of public services because our demography and rurality and so on just mean that it simply costs more to do the same.  So, Wales does have a dispersed settlement pattern. Around 33 per cent of our population lives in rural areas, compared to just 18 per cent in England. And as we've heard, we...

Defibrillators (20 Mar 2024)

Jonathan Gullis: I thank my hon. Friend for the undoubted effort that he puts in regularly in his constituency to raise the profile of that fantastic community group of dedicated volunteers. That relates to the point made earlier by my right hon. Friend the Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Gavin Williamson). These groups, who go in day and day out, do not expect much money at all, but try to do everything...

Group 5: Part 4 — Examining applications (Amendments 29, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 12, 13) (19 Mar 2024)

Julie James: ...2, as she said. My views on the principle of making such an amendment to the Bill have not changed, however. The provisions in the Bill and supporting regulations will allow for individuals and organisations to input into the decision-making process through comprehensive consultations that will be required to be carried out by developers at the pre-application and submission stages. The...
