Attorney General: Victims of Crime (14 Mar 2024)

Attorney General: Victims of Crime (14 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: The tension resulting from the conflict in Israel and Gaza is causing an escalation in hate crimes. What progress is my hon. and learned Friend making alongside the CPS to ensure that the victims of these crimes—indeed, the victims of any hate crime—receive full support, and that the perpetrators are prosecuted?

Income Tax (Charge) (12 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: As this is day four of our Budget debate, much has already been said, so I will restrict my remarks to a few general comments before addressing some specific areas. This has been a much more wide-ranging Budget than most commentators have noted, but the most positive thing that jumped out at me from all the data is the upgrading of growth forecasts. I completely recognise that economic...

Income Tax (Charge) (12 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: I did not see “Newsnight” last night, as I was here until very late. I was working away, as ever. Our benefits system has not held back the educational progress being made in England so, without having seen the programme, I suspect that other factors are involved. The productivity of our public services remains below pre-pandemic levels, which suggests that the full value of budget...

Education: Apprenticeships: Occupation Range (11 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: What steps her Department is taking to help increase the number of occupations for which apprenticeships are available.

Education: Apprenticeships: Occupation Range (11 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer. Last month, the Prime Minister visited the Harrogate Bus Company to view the new fleet of electric buses and to meet the company’s apprentices. Could my right hon. Friend detail how the Government will ensure that new apprenticeship routes are available in fast developing sectors of the economy such as digitisation and artificial intelligence,...

Health and Social Care: Topical Questions ( 5 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I am talking to my local integrated care board about establishing the first centre of dental excellence in North Yorkshire, to be located in Harrogate, to build on the dental recovery plan. Does my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State agree that boosting capacity is critical to catching up from the pandemic, and that centres of dental excellence are a very...

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: General Practitioners: Labour Turnover and Recruitment ( 5 Mar 2024)

Andrew Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress she has made on increasing levels of GP recruitment and retention.

Backbench Business: Colleges Week — [Sir Robert Syms in the Chair] (29 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: It is always a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Robert. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Waveney (Peter Aldous) on securing this Backbench Business debate and on marking and celebrating Colleges Week. I want to speak in support of the colleges of our nation, which are such a significant part of our education system. My hon. Friend outlined some powerful statistics...

Defence Acquisition Reform (28 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: I welcome my hon. Friend’s statement. He outlined several changes, and I am sure that his emphasis on people is absolutely correct. Procurement is not just a matter of systems, but about how they are implemented and who implements them, and the culture within teams is important too. Specification changes drive complexity, cost and delay. Does my hon. Friend agree that removing delay from...

Road Safety: North Yorkshire (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: The Minister will have seen that, yesterday, York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority was allocated £380 million from the local transport fund. When we have a local Mayor in place, could that money be used to fund road safety improvements through capital projects?

Road Safety: North Yorkshire (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing his first Adjournment debate. I have to say that I do not recognise his characterisation of the way the local council approaches road safety issues. He gave the example of Harrogate. That particular campaign was started by two residents, Hazel Peacock and Jenny Marks, and it led to a broader community campaign. The issue of 20 mph zones around...

Energy Security and Net Zero: Green Technologies: Private Investment (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: What steps she is taking to help increase private sector investment in green technologies.

Energy Security and Net Zero: Green Technologies: Private Investment (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer. Harmony Energy based in Knaresborough opened Europe’s largest battery farm in Yorkshire in 2022. It has raised the issue of connectivity challenges being a blockage to investment, so I welcome the connections action plan, which aims to cut connection times by up to 90%. Battery farms are critical for energy retention and storage, and are...

Energy Security and Net Zero: Topical Questions (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: Earlier this month, the all-party parliamentary group on infrastructure, which I chair, launched a joint report with the Institution of Civil Engineers on the public behavioural changes needed to achieve our net zero target. I have sent my right hon. Friend a copy of the report. As part of its production, we carried out market research, which highlighted public uncertainty on where to go for...

Antisemitism in the UK (19 Feb 2024)

Andrew Jones: I thank my right hon. Friend for his statement, and join him in paying tribute to the work of the Community Security Trust. Today, however, the most senior Liberal Democrat councillor in Harrogate and Knaresborough has been exposed for tweeting horrendous antisemitic comments for the past five weeks. She had hundreds of followers, including many senior local Liberal Democrats; she tweeted...
