Valedictory Debate ( 5 Nov 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: It is a great honour to follow my friend the hon. Member for Liverpool, West Derby (Stephen Twigg), from whom I have learned a huge amount, both in the time when I served under him on the International Development Committee and, indeed, as a friend. I would like to echo what my right hon. Friend the Member for Aylesbury (Sir David Lidington) said. In doing so, I quote a former Member of...

Valedictory Debate ( 5 Nov 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I can never resist anything that my right hon. Friend says, so I will most definitely do what I can. I would like to pay tribute to all those who work in our schools and colleges, police service, fire and rescue service, ambulance service and the local councils. We have three very good local councils, with excellent staff and councillors who make a real difference. I would also like to pay...

Valedictory Debate ( 5 Nov 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I would just like to thank my right hon. Friend for all he did in that role, particularly the way he kept Members of Parliament on both sides of the House so well briefed. When the history books are written, they will show how seriously he—together with his colleagues in the armed forces and his ministerial colleagues—took that incredibly important role. I thank him for that.

Princess Royal Hospital, Telford ( 5 Nov 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Telford (Lucy Allan) on securing this important debate. A number of constituents from the west side of my constituency rely absolutely on the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. Will the model mentioned by the Minister include, as it does in Stafford, the reception of blue-light services—that is, 999 ambulances —in the medical sphere at least?...

Disability-inclusive Development — [Mr Nigel Evans in the Chair] (31 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Evans. It is also a great honour to follow the hon. Member for Liverpool, West Derby (Stephen Twigg)—the two years I spent on the Select Committee under his chairmanship were among of the most enjoyable of my time in Parliament. He has been a great Chair of the Committee and it is the House’s loss that he is standing down. However, I...

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Plastic Pollution (31 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: What steps she is taking to tackle plastic pollution.

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Plastic Pollution (31 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I thank you, Mr Speaker, for your tremendous support for Back Benchers throughout this House during your time in the Chair. I also thank Becki Woolrich, who founded Stafford Litter Heroes, for all that she and her colleagues have done. By this weekend, they will have collected more than 2 tonnes of litter from the area in a very short time. We should pay great tribute to volunteers such as...

Leaving the EU: Integrated Foreign Policy (30 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Does the fact that British foreign policy suffers because Ministers are understandably tied to Parliament not point to a fundamental problem in our country? We do not have the ability to get out there, unlike our counterparts with presidential systems.

Leaving the EU: Integrated Foreign Policy (30 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Does my hon. Friend agree that one of the problems that we face in integration and influence is that our senior leaders travel far too little in places of importance, such as the whole of the African continent? In the time in which President Macron has visited the African continent more than 10 times, our Prime Minister has been able to visit only once. It was the first time a Prime Minister...

Health and Social Care: Topical Questions (29 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Earlier this year, the Secretary of State spoke about the importance of introducing new financing mechanisms to develop and deploy drugs and vaccines to tackle antimicrobial resistance. Will he update us on that, please?

Business of the House (24 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: May we have a debate on support from the UK for the people of Burundi, where not only is there the highest level of malnutrition in the world, but people face the potential threat of Ebola coming across the border?

Health Visitors (England) (23 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: When health visitors visited me in my constituency surgery in Penkridge, their frustration was that, although they love their job and want to do it properly, they cannot do it to the best of their professional satisfaction, because of the caseloads and because there were too few of them. Health visitors want to serve my constituents—the mothers, families and children—but they cannot, for...

Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Hydraulic Fracturing (22 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Does my right hon. Friend think that it might be a good idea to leave those carbon-based fuels in the ground as a reserve for future generations in case of emergency?

Debate on the Address: The Climate Emergency (17 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right, and Ethiopia has pledged to plant 4 billion trees in the next year.

Debate on the Address: The Climate Emergency (17 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: At the beginning of last year, I was moved when I visited Calais and listened to the stories of some of the refugees there who had been forced to move from their homelands against their will—some because of violence and conflict, some because of persecution, some because of a lack of jobs and some because of climate change. It is now acknowledged that climate change is one of the biggest...

Business of the House (17 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: This Government, like the previous Government, have made a welcome commitment to oppose the persecution of Christians globally and to support freedom of everybody in religion and belief, including those of no religion or belief. In the light of increasing problems, the latest being the closure of churches in Algeria, could we have a regular statement in Government time on the work the...

Battle of Arnhem: 75TH Anniversary (14 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I am most grateful to my right hon. and gallant Friend. Does he agree that what is even more remarkable is that for many of the units—I include 2nd battalion South Staffordshire—this came after they had been involved in the invasion of Sicily and Italy? Now they were involved in this tremendous operation. Many of these people had seen action almost continuously for several years.

Preparations for Leaving the EU ( 8 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: On page 71 we see a reference to transitional arrangements for financial services that need to be in place by 31 October. How many of them are in place?

HMRC Impact Analysis: Customs ( 8 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Does my hon. Friend agree that there will be extremely serious impacts on exports? We have been trying to promote exports for many years, given that we have such a large trade deficit, but the fact that 60% of our exports to the EU will now incur tariffs will be a real problem for our exporters—particularly of ceramics in my area, but also for exporters in many other areas. What does he say...

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe ( 7 Oct 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I thank the hon. Member for Hampstead and Kilburn (Tulip Siddiq) for constantly raising this case, and pay tribute to Nazanin, Richard and the whole family for their enormous courage in this terrible ordeal. May I also thank my right hon. Friend the Minister for what he, his colleagues and his predecessors have been doing? I think he is right that there is a limit to what can be done....
