Conference Adjournment (19 Sep 2023)

Paul Bristow: ..., and I put on record my congratulations to my constituent Rahul Ramechandra, who started a petition to save that GP surgery, or for it to reopen at the very least. Far too many people are taking taxis to Ailsworth, and the closure is having a profound impact on that local Parnwell community. I am sure that those on the Front Bench would agree that two years or 18 months is long enough to...

Wera Hobhouse: ...climate emergency will not go away. Surface transport is responsible for nearly a third of the UK’s carbon emissions, and more than half of surface transport emissions come from private cars and taxis.

Railway Ticket Offices — [Philip Davies in the Chair] (13 Sep 2023)

Martin Vickers: ...daughter saying, “My husband’s gone into hospital and I need your help,” or some other scenario. How is that lady to get a ticket, arrange a journey and somehow get TransPennine to provide a taxi or—the dreaded words—a replacement bus service? This is nonsense. How is it going to apply? Considering that TransPennine and other railway companies are subsidised by the taxpayer, who...

Scottish Parliament: Food and Drink Sector (12 Sep 2023)

Pauline McNeill: ...food and drink sector and it has been hugely exposed to rising costs, including utility costs and many others. There is a lack of confidence in public transport.

Murdo Fraser: ...in 2004. Due to the security around the late Queen, who was performing the opening, all the roads around the Parliament had been closed to traffic.

She quickly discovered that she was wearing quite unsuitable shoes for the long walk down...

Local Bank Branch Closures ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jim Shannon: ...Barclays bank branch in Newtownards, where I have my office. For rural constituents, it means they have to drive up to 40 minutes to the nearest Barclays in the neighbouring constituency, or take a taxi or a bus. Does the hon. Lady agree that bank branches are crucial to the economy, especially the rural economy, and that the frequent closures of local branches are doing more harm than...

Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment (20 Jul 2023)

Dean Russell: ...I did with the team there, who were phenomenal, especially David Vickery; they were incredible. The reason that work was so important is that it supported our night-time economy.

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill: Clause 13 - Conduct of reviews (18 Jul 2023)

Conor McGinn: ...family—like almost every family, survivor and victims group—oppose the Bill. That speaks more about it than I ever could.

The creation of incentives for hydrogen taxi fleets could be here in Wales, and work with Ireland on a project to have hydrogen ferries sailing between Irish and Welsh ports is not out of the question. Rather than wasting cash on...

Under-age Vaping (12 Jul 2023)

Dr Caroline Johnson: ...use their good offices with the Labour Mayor of London to consider whether he can influence the chair of TfL to remove not just cake adverts, but vaping adverts from places such as tubes, buses and taxis, where they may be seen by children. In the Minister’s opening remarks he talked about tobacco track and trace, and I wonder whether he is planning to bring in the same for vaping. The...

Antisocial Behaviour and Off-road Bikes (11 Jul 2023)

Peter Gibson: ...has closed the custody suite in Darlington, thereby stockpiling millions of pounds and starving the force of officers we could have had in previous years, and in effect turning our officers into taxi drivers to take people to a brand new £20 million custody suite in the centre of a gigantic county. That is a Labour decision in my county.

Gareth Davies: ...that notion is that the Welsh Government are in charge of the issues that affect people's daily lives across Wales, from health and social care, our local councils, roads, transport, trains, buses, taxis, childcare provision—I could go on—but the point I'm making is that the principle of devolution, and the key decisions being made close to home, is a wonderful idea, and most people...

E-bikes - Question (11 Jul 2023)

Lord Cormack: ...of my noble friend Lord Hailsham and believe he should be allowed to use his e-bike, as he does impeccably. Does my noble friend agree that e-scooters are a different thing entirely? They overtake taxis, their riders never have helmets, they have no registration numbers—they are an absolute menace. Can the wretched things be got rid of, as they have been in Paris?
