Business of the House (27 May 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: Is the Leader of the House aware of the utter dismay felt by local people and businesses in Nottingham about the deferral of the planned widening of the A453, which links the M1 to the city of Nottingham from the south, and which is absolutely vital to our economic prosperity?

Business, Innovation and Skills: Higher Education Funding ( 3 Jun 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I am sure that hon. Members know that for almost a decade Professor Philip Cowley and his colleagues in the school of politics at Nottingham university have been studying Back-Bench behaviour. Their findings have been published on the "Revolts" website and are widely used by journalists and hon. Members-particularly, I am told, the Whips Office. Does the Minister share my concern that the...

Business of the House: European Affairs ( 3 Jun 2010)

Transport Infrastructure (Nottingham) (17 Jun 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am very grateful for this opportunity to raise issues that concern not only my constituents but the wider Greater Nottingham conurbation and our region. May I say what a pleasure it is to see you in the Chair today? I also thank my hon. Friends the Members for Nottingham East (Chris Leslie) and for Gedling (Vernon Coaker) for coming along to lend me their support....

Transport Infrastructure (Nottingham) (17 Jun 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I thank my hon. Friend for that helpful intervention. NET phase 2 received approval because it will deliver for the city and the conurbation. It will take a further 3 million car journeys off our roads and will provide at least 50% of the additional capacity needed to avoid the transport gap that threatens the economic vitality of the conurbation. There will be 2,500 extra park-and-ride...

Transport Infrastructure (Nottingham) (17 Jun 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: The wards are those such as Clifton South in the city and places such as the Meadows, which I wanted to talk about. The Meadows and Clifton are two areas of my constituency that suffer from significant social disadvantage, including high unemployment, low skills and low educational attainment. Clifton also has a disproportionate number of pensioner households and a large retirement village....

Lilian Greenwood: Does my hon. Friend agree that increasing VAT will also have a significant impact on places such as Nottingham, where large numbers of people are employed in the retail sector, and that it will affect retail jobs? Is he aware that the Centre for Retail Research estimated that increasing VAT to 20% would lead to a reduction of 47,000 retail jobs and 10,000 stores closing?

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I will be more than happy to provide a few words of explanation about why Nottingham city believes that the legislation is needed, if the hon. Gentleman will allow us time to do so.

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I support the Nottingham City Council Bill, primarily because illegal street trading is a considerable problem in our city centre. The Bill is designed not in any way to prevent legitimate pedlars, but to deal with the problem of illegal street trading. To provide a flavour of the situation, I should say that in Nottingham city centre there are suitable places for legitimate street trading...

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question. I can speak only anecdotally in saying that that is not necessarily the case judging by the types of people who are involved in peddling, who often come from outside, including from abroad, in order to sell their goods. This legislation is not intended to prevent people from legitimate peddling-it merely makes a clear distinction between that and...

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: As I have said, I do not wish to prevent peddling. Obviously, it is great news to hear that people can go from such humble starts to building up great retail establishments. This is a procedural motion, so I do not want to debate the merits of these Bills, which have already been examined in some detail. I have been looking at the history of the Nottingham City Council Bill since it was...

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for asking that question. Unfortunately, I do not have the full details, but I know that it has been debated over many hours, and I am sure that that information was placed before the House at those times. I will be happy to go back and look at that, but I do not have it to hand at this moment. There is a strong case for looking at this legislation again....

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I would like to say a little more about why the Bill is necessary in Nottingham city-not all Members will be as familiar with it as the Minister is. Nottingham has a strong retail sector-it is one of the best cities in the country for shopping. One part of the city, Clumber street, between the Old Market square and a large shopping centre called the Victoria centre, is, I believe, one of the...

Bills Presented — Employment Opportunities Bill: Canterbury City Council Bill ( 5 Jul 2010)

Lilian Greenwood: I am sure that those in Nottingham would be very happy to have further discussion and to approach the issue in a spirit of compromise. This is an important Bill for our city, and I would be happy to talk at length another time about the many reasons why we need it.
