Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Topical Questions ( 2 Jul 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: The decision by the European Union to suspend the equivalence agreement with Switzerland seems to be very damaging. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor has done a fantastic job over the past few years. Will he confirm whether the United Kingdom was consulted on whether the decision should go ahead?

Department for International Development ( 1 Jul 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: The hon. Gentleman makes an extremely important point. Does he agree—this has been brought up by the International Development Committee, which he so ably chairs—that what the UK needs in addition to DFID, or perhaps inside or alongside DFID, is a development bank, which so many other major economies have but we do not?

NHS Long-Term Plan: Implementation ( 1 Jul 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I very much welcome the plan, with £33.9 billion being committed by 2022-23. My concern is slightly where the money is going to come from. I wonder whether my right hon. Friend has had assurances from the Treasury that that will indeed be the case. With all the other pressures on spending and revenues in the coming years, that might be a little difficult. We have to find ways to ensure...

Co-Operative and Mutual Businesses (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I thank the Minister for all the work that he does. Another major co-operative that is important to my farmers is an overseas-based one called Arla. It is based in Denmark, but it is a co-operative that works across borders for the benefit of all farmers—in Britain, Denmark or wherever else.

Co-Operative and Mutual Businesses (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: The hon. Gentleman is making an extremely important point, and I agree with everything he is saying. One body that is, in effect, a mutual and is growing month by month almost under the radar is the National Employment Savings Trust—NEST. It is growing by several hundred million pounds. Last I saw, it had £5 billion, and by the end of the next decade, it will probably be one of the largest...

Co-Operative and Mutual Businesses (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: As always, it is a real pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Huddersfield (Mr Sheerman). I thank the hon. Member for Harrow West (Gareth Thomas) and my hon. Friend the Member for Wycombe (Mr Baker) for bringing forward this really important debate. Over the years that I have been in business and, indeed, in this House, I have come to see more and more the importance of the co-operative...

Co-Operative and Mutual Businesses (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I welcome what the hon. Gentleman says, and he is absolutely right. I would say that Sainsbury’s has also been a strong supporter of Fairtrade, but we do not want to see any dilution or diminution of those principles. Fairtrade is like a brand. People will pay that bit extra because they know that what they are buying has been reliably sourced from farmers or other producers who have been...

Business of the House (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: If my right hon. Friend would like to visit the beautiful constituency of Stafford, he will see that we are contributing greatly to house building in the UK, with a rate more than double the national average. However, developers are taking advantage of rules about councils falling very briefly below the five-year land supply to put in developments that are unwanted by local residents and...

Exiting the European Union: No Deal: Preparedness (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: One of the major risks of leaving without a deal, which I very much hope will not happen, is cash-flow problems, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. I had understood that the Treasury and the whole Government were making plans to ensure that additional cash flow would be made available, particularly for SMEs, for delays in payments, customs dues and so on. But at the Exiting...

Exiting the European Union: Topical Questions (27 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Data flows are absolutely vital for business, for health and for security, and in many other areas, but the problems would be immense in the case of a no-deal Brexit. We heard yesterday in the Exiting the European Union Committee that, even in the case of leaving with a deal, the UK would no longer have any influence over the general data protection regulation, even though the GDPR is...

Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Leaving the EU: Manufacturing (26 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: As someone who started his working life at Ford in Bridgend, may I ask the Secretary of State what he is doing to ensure that high-quality, high-value manufacturing jobs are going to continue at that excellent site, which has such good rail and road connections?

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Journalistic Rights and Freedoms (25 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: What steps he is taking to protect the rights and freedoms of journalists throughout the world.

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Journalistic Rights and Freedoms (25 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I welcome my right hon. Friend’s answer, but at least 94 journalists were killed in the course of their duties last year. Will he and his ministerial colleagues undertake, on every occasion when they travel overseas or meet foreign Heads of State, to raise this issue, which is so vital if we are to get real news, not fake news?

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Topical Questions (25 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Over the weekend, the chief of the general staff of the Ethiopian army, the president of the Amhara region, and several other high-ranking Ethiopian citizens were murdered. Will my right hon. Friend join me in sending condolences to the people of Ethiopia and to its excellent Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed? He is trying to secure reform in that great country, but clearly there are those who are...

European Council (24 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I thank my right hon. Friend for all the work that she does on the European Council, and will continue to do. I notice that there was a lot of discussion on a few very well-paid top jobs. Was there discussion on the millions of people who are without work throughout the European Union—and, indeed, further afield in the near neighbourhood in north Africa and sub-Saharan Africa—and what can...

Hong Kong (18 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: The words “rule of law”, are much used on both side of the argument, both in Hong Kong and in the People’s Republic of China. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the rule of law is only there if one looks at the rules themselves, at how they are made, and at punishments? In addition, they should be underpinned by the universal declaration of human rights. That is what the rule of law...

Syria: Civilians in Idlib (18 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I very much support what the hon. Member for Wirral South (Alison McGovern) said about taking on more refugees from the area, and I pay tribute to my right hon. Friend the Minister for Immigration for her decision. What does the Minister think can be done to help to make the good Russian people aware of what is being done in their name by their Government? Surely they would be as horrified...

Health and Social Care: Topical Questions (18 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: Patient safety in the NHS depends on compassionate care training and staffing levels, but it also depends on patient safety systems. What progress is the national health service making towards implementing those systems in every place where patients are cared for?

Non-Domestic Rating (Lists) Bill (17 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I very much welcome the Bill. Will the Minister comment on one aspect that is not covered by the detail of it, but which is very important to people in my constituency who own riding stables and particularly those who provide riding services for the disabled as well as commercial riding stables? We often find that the Valuation Office Agency simply does not have the expertise to deliver an...

Cystic Fibrosis Drugs: Orkambi — [Mr Adrian Bailey in the Chair] (10 Jun 2019)

Jeremy Lefroy: I am grateful to the Minister for giving way and I apologise for not being here at the beginning of the debate, because of important statements in the main Chamber. My constituent William Smith, who is a pupil at Cooper Perry Primary School, has cystic fibrosis. Along with his entire class, he presented me with the facts of his case and with letters to the Government, and they made it quite...
