Business of the House (21 Mar 2024)

Mary Glindon: World Parkinson’s Day is on 11 April, and this year’s theme—there is not one face of Parkinson’s—reflects the fact that there are 40 symptoms for this disease and every Parkinson’s journey is different. With a postcode lottery for access to the right healthcare and insufficient targeted financial support for people with the condition, will the Leader of the House make time for a...

Education: Topical Questions (11 Mar 2024)

Mary Glindon: Ministers will be aware that four schools in North Tyneside closed just over a month ago because of a structural problem not related to RAAC.

Can the Minister assure me that funding will be made available either to rebuild or to restructure the schools as soon as it is needed?

Mary Glindon: Will the Minister ensure that the highly regulated land-based industry can better innovate and grow by, for example, ensuring that the right option is chosen on the changes proposed to machine rules for the adult gaming sector, which are out for consultation?

Prime Minister: Engagements (21 Feb 2024)

Mary Glindon: A KPMG study finds a strong economic case to remove power cables over the Tyne. Despite my questions to previous Prime Ministers, we are no further forward. Can this Prime Minister finally secure a commitment from National Grid to implement its clear legal obligation and fund this vital work? This fog on the Tyne is impeding local businesses and risks possible net GVA benefits of up to £1.2...

Business of the House ( 1 Feb 2024)

Mary Glindon: Happy birthday, Madam Deputy Speaker. Over the last few weeks, this House has seen a rise in absenteeism among senior Ministers. There has been a debate on steel with no Secretary of State and nothing from the Education Secretary on the childcare crisis. Does the Leader of the House agree that that is an unacceptable way for her colleagues to treat this House?

Mary Glindon: What recent steps she has taken with Cabinet colleagues to ensure the rule of law is upheld within Government.

Attorney General: Government: Rule of Law ( 1 Feb 2024)

Mary Glindon: The Horizon scandal has raised many important legal questions, ranging from the reliance on flawed evidence to the slow pace of the justice system in correcting miscarriages of justice. Will the Attorney General now address the implications for the power of organisations such as the Post Office to pursue private prosecutions, and in particular what oversight the Crown Prosecution Service can...

Business of the House (25 Jan 2024)

Mary Glindon: The permanent secretary of the Department for Work and Pensions claims that his Department is “making good progress” in dealing with its staffing crisis. However, the PCS union has obtained figures for the year up to last November showing that while the Department recruited 8,495 new staff, there were also 8,031 leavers in that year—far short of the aspiration to recruit 5,000 staff per...

Mary Glindon: Whether he has had recent discussions with the Advocate General for Scotland on the prosecution of postmasters using evidence from the Horizon IT system.

Scotland: Horizon: Prosecution of Postmasters (24 Jan 2024)

Mary Glindon: In Scotland, these prosecutions were carried out by the Crown Office and the procurator fiscal. Ministers of the Crown were made aware of concerns around potentially unsafe prosecutions in 2013. Can the Minister tell the House why it took so long for the prosecutions to be halted and for previous convictions to be reviewed?

Business of the House (18 Jan 2024)

Mary Glindon: Hon. Members who visited Iraqi Kurdistan with the all-party parliamentary group on the Kurdistan region in Iraq know that it is a firm ally against extremism, and they will be disgusted that the Iranian regime has targeted the capital, Irbil, with missiles, killing a prominent businessman, his baby daughter and others in a vile and illegal act. May we have a debate in Government time on how...

Work and Pensions: Child Poverty (18 Dec 2023)

Mary Glindon: What steps his Department is taking to help reduce the number of children in poverty.

Work and Pensions: Child Poverty (18 Dec 2023)

Mary Glindon: Figures from the Trussell Trust show that in the six months between April and September, food banks in the north-east provided a record 26,000 emergency food parcels for children, with the need having doubled over the past five years. The majority of families who turn to food banks do so because their income, whether from social security or from wages, is too low to afford the basic...

Cop28 (14 Dec 2023)

Mary Glindon: Licensing aside, what sensible proposals does the Minister have to offer hope to the 1,500 people living in my constituency, and the other 200,000 people he referenced earlier, whose jobs depend on oil and gas now, and who could power our clean energy future? Offshore Energies UK estimates that if we get the transition right, the workforce could swell by 50%. Where is his plan for those workers?

Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Dec 2023)

Mary Glindon: While the Home Secretary was in Rwanda signing his new treaty, his Department put out a contract to manage small boat arrivals until 2030, at a cost of £700 million to the taxpayer. Does that not show that even the Home Office does not think the Minister’s plan will work?
