Business of the House (25 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: I suspect that the Leader of the House will be aware that more than 1,200 Afghan relocations and assistance policy-entitled Afghans are stuck in limbo in hotels in Islamabad. To be clear, they are people who supported our mission in Afghanistan and whom the Government committed to relocate to the UK. Having spoken to Ministers this week, I have been assured that the Cabinet Office, the Home...

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Food Prices in Supermarkets (25 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: Food price inflation remains at the eye-wateringly high level of 19%, causing misery to millions. The UK Farm to Fork summit provided an opportunity to tackle inflationary pressures across the supply chain, but the Secretary of State’s written statement did not mention inflation once. Can the Minister say if there is a plan to rapidly reduce food price inflation—and if not, why not?

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Topical Questions (25 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: Should not the cost of cleaning up our waterways be met by the profits of water companies, not higher bills paid for by hard-pressed consumers?

Energy Security and Net Zero: Green Industries: Jobs (23 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: What steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help create jobs in green industries.

Energy Security and Net Zero: Green Industries: Jobs (23 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: I thank the Minister for that response. He will know that South Yorkshire is fast becoming known for its green energy research. From Sheffield Hallam University’s Dext Heat Recovery project to the University of Sheffield’s Translational Energy Research Centre, there is huge potential in our region. Will the Minister look at what more he can do to work with and provide support to the South...

Home Department: Small Boat Crossings (22 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: Afghans make up one of the largest cohorts of small boat migrants, in part because the legal routes are not working. Let me give the Home Secretary a quick example. Families who have been approved under the Afghan relocations and assistance policy are stuck in Islamabad and are now being told that they need to source their own accommodation to get here, but there is no published guidance on...

Justice: Protection of Children: Family Courts (16 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: What steps he is taking to protect children in the family courts.

Justice: Protection of Children: Family Courts (16 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: I am grateful to the Minister for that response. Jack and Paul were murdered by their father after it was ruled that it was in their interests to maintain contact with him. The presumption for parental involvement in cases of domestic abuse can have fatal consequences, which is partly why it is under review. However, that review was meant to publish two years ago. Children’s lives depend on...

Justice: Topical Questions (16 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: Can the Minister say what the Department is doing to support armed forces veterans in the criminal justice system?

Defence: Defence Procurement System (15 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: What recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of his Department’s defence procurement system.

Defence: Defence Procurement System (15 May 2023)

Dan Jarvis: I heard what the Secretary of State said about Atlas. He has previously given me a commitment that there will be no loss of capability, but today, Deborah Haynes at Sky News is reporting that the UK will be left dangerously exposed when the C-130J is cut next month. That comes amid concerns that its successor, the Atlas A400M, has yet to be cleared to perform the niche but mission-critical...

Water Quality: Sewage Discharge (25 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: Parliament debated sewerage in the summer of 1858, during the great stink. In every respect, it beggars belief that, after 165 years of technological advancement and social progress, we are still debating sewage pollution in our waterways, but we are because something is going terribly wrong. The status quo is not working, and it is time to consign sewage pollution to history. Water is not...

Health and Social Care: Smoking Cessation (25 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: Smoking remains the biggest preventable cause of cancer and we know that smoking cessation services are vital to kicking the habit, but smokers in England face a postcode lottery when trying to access them. What is the Minister doing to ensure that everybody who needs those services is able to access them?

Health and Social Care: Topical Questions (25 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: By 2040, cancer rates in the UK are expected to rise by a third. That is half a million new cases each year, so hundreds of thousands of lives literally depend on the Government implementing a long-term, fully funded, comprehensive plan for cancer. Will the Secretary of State recommit to a 10-year cancer plan?

Sudan (24 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: May I associate myself with the comments made by the Minister and the shadow Minister about the professionalism and bravery of those members of our armed forces who have been involved with this operation? I know from my own time at PJHQ—permanent joint headquarters—that non-combatant evacuation operations can be particularly complex, so well done to everybody who has been involved. As we...

Transport: Rail Infrastructure: North of England (20 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: What steps his Department is taking to help deliver major rail infrastructure improvements in the north of England.

Transport: Rail Infrastructure: North of England (20 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: The Department set up the Northern Transport Acceleration Council to put rocket boosters on rail upgrades in the north, but three years on we are no closer to high-speed rail services between Sheffield and Leeds, there are no more trains on the Hope Valley line and NTAC has not met in full since May 2022. Does the Minister think that the appropriate governance arrangements are in place to...

Chinese Police Stations in UK (19 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: I was pleased to hear the Minister say that these are matters that should be addressed on a cross-party basis. The Security Minister, whom I hold in the highest regard, said that the defending democracy taskforce would be cross-party, something that was welcomed by the director general of MI5. Can I ask the Minister to confirm that that is still the case? If it is, presumably either the...

Top Secret Document Leaks (18 Apr 2023)

Dan Jarvis: The leak in the US should be, and I am sure is, focusing the Minister’s mind on the importance of our own information security. To that end, can he give an assurance that all information and data relating to our own armed forces personnel that is held by private sector contractors—particularly those that are foreign-owned—is secure?

Afghan Resettlement Update (28 Mar 2023)

Dan Jarvis: The Minister well understands the deep bond of friendship that exists between those who served and the Afghans we fought alongside, but he will also recognise that there have been very long-standing concerns from Members on both sides of the House about the processes that underpin both ARAP and ACRS. I have recently received reports of families approved under ARAP who are stuck in Islamabad,...
