Treasury: Topical Questions (21 Mar 2023)

Rail Services (20 Mar 2023)

Jeff Smith: The Secretary of State said that the contract would be extended with the “expectation” that Avanti would win back the confidence of customers. I have to say that my constituents in south Manchester are a long way from having confidence in Avanti. I speak regularly to people who are driving rather than taking the train because they know it is the only way in which they can guarantee that...

As Members have said, she has been stalwart in raising awareness of the issue, and giving...

Electoral Commission Committee: Voter ID: May 2023 Elections ( 9 Mar 2023)

Jeff Smith: I thank my hon. Friend for that answer. It is good news that data will be collected on the number of voters who get turned away for not having ID at a polling station, but as we all know, parties often have tellers outside who will remind people about the voter ID requirements, so how can the Electoral Commission collect data on voters who turn away before they even get into the polling station?

What comparable steps will the Government take to help heavy industry decarbonise?

Football Governance White Paper (23 Feb 2023)

Jeff Smith: I thank the Minister for his statement and for advance sight of it. The shadow Secretary of State is sorry not to be here. She managed to keep her diary clear on all the other days that we were warned to expect the White Paper, but on the day it finally arrived she had a commitment in her constituency. I echo the Minister’s comments about our sadness on the passing of John Motson. With the...
