Speeches by Jogee.

“You have very nicely moved on to my next point. This is to both of you. Give us a view on the effectiveness of the relationship between the UK Government, the Northern Ireland Executive and the private sector, which Sam has just referred to? Give us a flavour of how effective you think that working relationship current…”

“We have heard previous evidence that issues such as infrastructure, a not massively effective transport connection system and all the rest feed into that inability to seize the potential, particularly if you think east-west, geographically speaking.”

“It is good to see you again. Like Gavin, I have fond memories of walking through a big, pretty chilly building, so I am pleased to know that the heating is on and it is full of people. Thank you for coming to see us this morning. Sam, as someone who represents Newcastle-under-Lyme, a constituency where advanced manufac…”

“Then you lose the public support and investment in it, the whole conversation becomes much more sticky and nothing happens.”

“I will not go on, but my reflection from these answers is that we need more coherence, clarity, productivity and investment in terms of people and resources, and making sure that those who can help make that happen get on with it. Would that be a fair assessment?”

“It was about the relationship between the Executive and the UK Government, and I added local government as well. There is then the private sector, most importantly, but perhaps that was more directed to advanced manufacturing.”

“I am sure Mr Swann will take that positive message home with him tomorrow. Steven, what about you?”

“There are probably tons of pillars, but another one would be the role of local government and how effective that relationship is. When we came to see you, Sam, we had the mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, as she was then. How much more do you think local government could do to be part of that solution-finding?”

“I am grateful to the Minister for issuing invitations to meet to colleagues. My constituency did not get Pride in Place funding, and I would be grateful if she could find some time to have a cup of tea with me so that I can make the case for it to her before too long.”

“I welcome the statement and the action that those of us in ceramic communities have been calling for, and I thank the Chancellor for announcing it. This is a good day for all of us in north Staffordshire. As it happens, staff from a ceramics business based in Newcastle-under-Lyme are sitting in the Gallery watching thi…”

“I am delighted that the Government have listened to my calls, and those of my neighbours in Stoke-on-Trent, to finally act to support the ceramics industry—calls so loud that my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke-on-Trent Central (Gareth Snell) has lost his voice. While we await the detail, will the Secretary of State co…”

“Can the Minister assure me and my constituents back home that the changes to the unduly lenient sentence scheme will ensure that victims of crime in Newcastle-under-Lyme and across the kingdom are better supported at every stage of the criminal justice system?”

“So far this has been a very southern-centric debate, so may I take the hon. Lady up to Staffordshire? In Newcastle-under-Lyme we continue to feel the very worst effects of the HS2 debacle. Does she share my outrage at the fact that my constituents Mr and Mrs Kettering, of Madeley, have been waiting years for the compen…”

“My constituents want and deserve a justice system that is fit for purpose, delivers justice for victims, and tackles crime properly and effectively. That said, poverty and deprivation play an important role, so will the Secretary of State assure me that there is a proper and effective cross-Government approach? He ment…”
