Thomas Tugendhat: ...a failed Administration. Let me come back to the Public Order Act—[Interruption.] To great cheers from the SNP Benches. The Act was passed and then saw one of the greatest moments of assembly in London that we have seen in many years. Many people protested peacefully. Many people said “Not my King”, although constitutionally that is an odd statement in a monarchy. Many people were...
Baroness Fraser of Craigmaddie: ...be included under this regime. It concerns me that the Minister talked about leaving requesting data that Ofcom deemed to be appropriate. The feeling on the ground is that Ofcom, which is based in London, may not understand what is or is not necessarily appropriate in the devolved Administrations. The fact that in other legislation—for example, on broadcasting—it is mandated that it is...
Richard Burgon: ...greedflation’ and prioritise reining in corporate profits, instead of blaming workers’ wages for driving up inflation.” Using the latest available figures for the largest 350 companies on the London stock exchange, Unite the union has shown how profit margins for the first half of 2022 were nearly double—89% higher—than for the same period in 2019, before the pandemic. Unite’s...
David Linden: ...who are ploughing on with Brexit at any cost. It is clearer than ever that we need independence, so that people in Scotland can stop paying the price for disastrous decisions made here in London by a Government Scotland did not vote for. Indeed, we have not voted for the Tories since 1955. We should be clear that the cost of living crisis is not necessarily a new thing. Yes, it has got...
Richard Bacon: ...statistic: £80 per head is spent on dentistry in the areas that have the best dental care, and only £39 in parts of the east of England. What annoys me more than anything else is that, outside London and the south-east, the east of England is the fastest growing area of the country. It contributes the most gross value added to the economy outside London and the south-east. That is an...
Victoria Atkins: ...football. I will not name any taxpayers. But my goodness, I am sure he is proud of the fact that we have a leading film and creative industry in the United Kingdom, particularly on the outskirts of London. I have the great pleasure of meeting representatives of some of those industries from time to time; the excitement and the welcome they feel from the United Kingdom, partly because of...
Holly Lynch: ...Chinese police stations, my right hon. Friend the shadow Home Secretary told the House that The Times had reported “a Chinese businessman linked to an alleged Chinese secret police station in London, is linked to the united front work department, and has organised Tory party fundraising dinners and attended events with Conservative Prime Ministers”. —[Official Report, 19 April 2023;...
David Linden: ...; and the most generous concessionary bus scheme—but the reality is that devolution was not, and in my view never has been, set up to be a sticking plaster for bad welfare policies made here in London. Yes, the Scottish Government are doing all that, but they are doing it with one hand tied behind their back. The brutal reality is that every additional pound that we spend on those...

Rachel Maclean: Responsibility for the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) sits with the Mayor of London and Transport for London. Government recognises the potential of the proposed extension of the DLR, and welcomes the partnership approach that is being taken. Government will continue to engage with partners, as they develop the evidence base. Government understands that partners will assess the housing impacts...
Richard Holden: ...traffic authorities. They are subject to a network management duty which requires them to manage their roads to deliver expeditious movement of traffic, including pedestrians. Responsibility for London’s road network is primarily split between TfL, who manage London’s red routes, and the London boroughs, who manage around 95% of the network.
Richard Holden: Parallel legislative regimes for London and elsewhere in England provide the right to challenge Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued by local authorities to motorists considered to have contravened parking, bus lane or moving traffic restrictions. The processes provide the opportunity to challenge a PCN with the issuing local authority. In the event that the local authority rejects the...
