Scott Mann: It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Bristol West (Thangam Debbonaire). This Bill deals with an important issue for very many of my constituents, thousands of whom will be affected by it. It will be welcome news to all those who have written to us about rural broadband. As a large and rural area, North Cornwall faces the typical challenges that other rural parts of Britain face...
Scott Mann: I completely agree. We need to get the same access that all urban areas have, because otherwise we cannot compete on a level playing field.

Scott Mann: I am grateful to my hon. Friend for making that point. I will come on to the single market later in my speech. We need to be on the side of farmers, not working against them. A better subsidy system can certainly be achieved in the short term to install confidence. We need actively to promote British produce at home and abroad. Leaving the single market is a fantastic opportunity to turn our...
Scott Mann: My right hon. Friend may be aware that according to Cornwall Council’s own figures, only 1,300 jobs will be created from a £350 million EU spend between now and 2020. Does he agree that a much more tailored approach to regional funding could create more jobs more quickly for Cornwall?

A small number of people make money from online gambling. Could you tell me how the...
