Carolyn Harris: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Brady. I congratulate the hon. Member for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire (Simon Hart) on obtaining the debate. The issue is close to my heart, and the heart of my hon. Friend the Member for Aberavon (Stephen Kinnock). We have heard that Tidal Lagoon Power is entirely privately owned, so when in February the Department of Energy...

Carolyn Harris: Last Friday we heard that an additional £1.2 billion is to be cut from the PIP budget. That translates into £2,000 a year less for more than 60,000 claimants. What method or madness led the Minister to think that cutting support could help PIP claimants into work or to achieve independent living?

Today we take electricity for...

[Geraint Davies in the Chair] — Faulty Electrical Imports (22 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: I appreciate my hon. Friend’s comments, and I am sure any speech he makes later will reflect his thoughts. Members of the House can help through the APPG on home electrical safety to find solutions and raise awareness. I am not sure whether the Minister has seen a counterfeit electrical product up close, but I hope he will join the APPG later this year. We have an event planned that will...

Energy and Climate Change: Tidal Lagoon Energy (24 Mar 2016)

Carolyn Harris: It has now been six weeks since the Department announced the independent review into tidal lagoon, and it is two weeks since the Minister assured me in Westminster Hall that the make-up of the review was being considered “right now”.

Backbench Business: Fixed Odds Betting Terminals — [Sir Alan Meale in the Chair] (26 Apr 2016)

Carolyn Harris: FOBTs have been called the “crack cocaine of gambling”, and what the hon. Gentleman says reinforces that idea. Betting shop staff are not in a position to intervene when punters, as they like to be called, exhibit signs of problem gambling. They have no training to deal with it. Every year, 7,000 FOBTs are smashed up by irate customers and there are 10,000 calls to the police, despite the...
