Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Syria ( 5 Nov 2019)

Mike Kane: This is an honour, Mr Speaker. Mr Ahmed, a Syrian Kurd constituent of mine, has relayed his deep concerns for family and friends in the region. Communities without security cannot prosper; what more can be done to secure a peace?

Northern Ireland Budget Bill (30 Oct 2019)

Mike Kane: Talking about being passionate and well-informed, I think the whole House will join me in paying tribute to my hon. Friend, as he is at the Dispatch Box today for possibly the last time. He has been one of the finest Members to grace this House and a friend to many. He will be sorely missed once he finally leaves this Chamber.

Northern Ireland Budget Bill (30 Oct 2019)

Mike Kane: The right hon. Gentleman is making a powerful speech. It will not come as a galloping shock for him to hear that I have been campaigning for the medical school in Londonderry. Does he agree that what Sinn Féin are really worried about is having a whole new electorate that would not vote for them in a tight marginal seat?

Early Parliamentary General Election Bill (29 Oct 2019)

Mike Kane: rose—

Early Parliamentary General Election Bill (29 Oct 2019)

Mike Kane: On the sclerotic nature of this Parliament and whether a general election will somehow change that, will it ever? Brexit has been a virus in a vial in a nightstand by the Tory party bed for 40 years. Occasionally, it would break and infect the Conservative party, which would catch a cold, and maybe the Labour party would win an election. You unleashed a referendum and broke the vial across...

Racism in Football (15 Oct 2019)

Mike Kane: And very proud of Raheem Sterling I am, too. I wish to carry on from the point made by the hon. Member for Chatham and Aylesford (Tracey Crouch) about what we are doing in our communities. I am desperately worried about alt-right groups targeting sports and gym clubs on the estates in my constituency with alt-right messaging. I am working with the global Institute for Strategic Dialogue and...

Health Infrastructure Plan (30 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: As a Mancunian MP, I am absolutely sickened to see Members on the Government Benches today. If you will forgive the personal pronoun, you should be in Manchester spending your hard-earned wages on our economy. [Interruption.] I was just trying to take the toxicity out of the place. The NHS is a devolved matter in Greater Manchester, but NHS financial technicalities are holding back the...

European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019 (Rule of Law): Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc) Act 2019 Section 3(2) ( 9 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: I had the great honour of visiting Derry recently. The University of Ulster has been dilly-dallying and delaying about the medical school at the Magee campus. The city needs that medical school, which will help immensely with not only its regeneration but the whole peace process. What guarantees can the Secretary of State give that Derry will get that medical school?

Education: Funding Increases for Schools: Timetable ( 9 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: They say that faith is the substance of things hoped for over the evidence of things not seen. At the time of her resignation, the right hon. Member for Hastings and Rye (Amber Rudd) said “Judge a man by what he does, not what he says.” The Secretary of State has been part of a Government who have slashed £1.9 million from schools in his own constituency in the last four years. Codsall...

LGBT Community and Acceptance Teaching — [Sir Roger Gale in the Chair] ( 4 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Roger, and to follow that inspirational speech from my hon. Friend the Member for Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport (Luke Pollard), who spoke with real passion about how hate in society is rising, rather than decreasing. As a fellow football fan, I pay tribute to my football team, Manchester City—I seem to be mentioning them quite a lot...

LGBT Community and Acceptance Teaching — [Sir Roger Gale in the Chair] ( 4 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: Okay. I taught RSE to year 5 in primary school many years, and we had stringent policies. People withdrawing their children would be automatically put on our safeguarding alerts. We need to think about that really seriously. There is a danger that, without a clear steer from Government, there will be big variations between schools. We need resources going into those schools. This new...

School Funding: East Anglia — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] ( 3 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Gapes. Unfortunately, this is not a forum where we can indulge in our usual conversation about football. However, I will try to introduce some elements. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Norwich South (Clive Lewis) on securing this important debate on funding. Straight out of the gate, I join him in saying that we should all...

School Funding: East Anglia — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] ( 3 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: It lost £432 per pupil and £282,000 out of its budget in that period. Bignold Primary School?

School Funding: East Anglia — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] ( 3 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: It had a £516 loss per pupil and is £430,000 down on where it should be. Clover Hill infant school had a £757 loss per pupil; it is £276,000 out of pocket. But let us go around the Chamber. Let us look at the East Anglia county average—the loss between 2015 and 2019. In Norfolk, there was £279 less per pupil. It has lost £66.6 million-worth of spending power in the last four years....

School Funding: East Anglia — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] ( 3 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: Well, I do not have to come to Cambridgeshire anymore.

School Funding: East Anglia — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] ( 3 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: I was pleased to be at the Bury-Cambridge game last year. What a sad indictment it is that Bury has now left the Football League. I forgot to tell my hon. Friend the Member for Norwich South that I am visiting his beautiful city in just a couple of weeks to see Manchester City play and to spend some time. I can see the Ipswich Members getting a bit edgy, but we will not go there. After...

School Funding: East Anglia — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] ( 3 Sep 2019)

Mike Kane: I suspect that most hon. Members’ constituency surgeries on a Friday are now full—mine certainly is, and I hear the same when I talk to colleagues across Greater Manchester—of parents trying to get special educational needs provision for their children. The hon. Member for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich (Dr Poulter) rightly mentions CAMHS, but again the promises are of money in the...

Small and Village School Funding (17 Jul 2019)

Mike Kane: As ever, Sir David, it is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. I congratulate the hon. Member for Harborough (Neil O'Brien) on securing this important debate; it is very important that we talk about the funding of small and rural schools. I also congratulate him on the really powerful speech he made in the main Chamber last year about one of his favourite teachers, who had passed...

Small and Village School Funding (17 Jul 2019)

Mike Kane: I thank the Minister. The right hon. Member for West Suffolk (Matt Hancock) pledged £15 billion of new schools money in that leadership debate. All the candidates know, from courting Conservative Members over the last few weeks, what the No.1 concern is for Conservative Members, and they have responded to those concerns in the leadership debates. Across the country, our schools are...

Small and Village School Funding (17 Jul 2019)

Mike Kane: I am terribly sorry, Sir David; I was just hitting my stride. Career progression is more difficult in rural areas and for rural teachers, as cities often offer an agglomeration of impacts so that teachers can develop professionally. Under Labour’s national education service, we will invest properly in our schools. Investment will be delivered under Labour’s fully funded and universal...
