Battery Energy Storage Sites: Safety Regulations

Commons debates

I will, but quickly.

Battery Energy Storage Sites: Safety Regulations

Commons debates

First of all, I support the fact that there is a debate on this issue, and I support some of the points that the hon. Member for Horsham (John Milne) has just made. It is clear that technology...

Bank Closures and Banking Hubs

Commons debates

The banks have more or less abandoned my constituency, and it sounds like that is the case for many others. Some 6,500 branches have closed in recent years, as have more than 200 post offices....

Free School Meals

Commons debates

As others have, I very much welcome the announcement. For the thousands of families in my constituency with children in poverty, this is a great announcement. However, I remember the Prime...

Regional Growth

Commons debates

It is more than 30 years since I was the leader of Leeds city council and made the first proposal for a rapid transit system in that area of West Yorkshire, so I welcome today’s...

Business of the House

Commons debates

I associate myself with the comments from the Leader of the House repudiating antisemitism. In South Elmsall in my constituency, there is a clay pit that has been working for 14 years, four years...

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Commons debates

The situation in Gaza is utterly intolerable, and the Foreign Secretary has convinced the House of his passion, anger and indignation, but he will know that angry rhetoric means nothing if it is...

Business of the House

Commons debates

People in my area are totally brassed off with Yorkshire Water, which has failed, repeatedly, to deliver clean water to houses in Upton. It has delivered 5,000 hours of sewage into our local...

New Clause 16 - Economic impact assessment

Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

Jon Trickett made a speech in the House of Commons

I thank the hon. Member for making that important point, and of course she is right. I go back to this question of the threats to the database, which are not simply the product of my imagination;...

New Clause 16 - Economic impact assessment

Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

Jon Trickett made a speech in the House of Commons

I have tabled new clause 18, which is about health and instituting a new public interest test. There is an existing test, but it is not very accessible or useful nowadays. I will explain why....

Topical Questions

Health and Social Care

Jon Trickett made a speech in the House of Commons

Pharmacies play a key role in communities in rural areas such as mine, but it is deeply frustrating when the supply chain breaks down and a pharmacy cannot deliver its medicine. Can the Minister...

New Clause 17 - Information notices

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Bill

Jon Trickett made a speech in the House of Commons
