Speeches by Jogee.

“Thank you for making the effort to come and see us; we are always grateful when folks fly over here. Can you please set out the impact that you think the UK shared prosperity fund has had on communities and the people you have been working with in Northern Ireland?”

“On young people specifically, I had some engagement with the King’s Trust, and I was able to hear a little bit more about what that organisation has been contributing as part of the Youth Start consortium, and the impact and legacy it has had. Can you give us a flavour of how you think we can further that impact throug…”

“I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way. I followed him when I gave my maiden speech and it is good to see him in his place. Does it not say everything that Conservative Members are now defending the Truss Budget and all the damage that it did to communities like mine and his?”

“Anglicans in Newcastle-under-Lyme will very much welcome the appointment of the new Archbishop of Canterbury and will be praying for her—as the first woman in the role, she has made history. The United Kingdom has long worked to promote pluralist values across the globe, so I welcome the employment of my hon. Friend th…”

“2. What assessment the Church of England has made of the effectiveness of the Government’s policies on supporting freedom of religion or belief in other countries.”

“Are you confident, in the political context, that these issues will be resolved before the next Stormont election?”

“I probably should declare an interest, Chair. My wife often drags me to the lough shore when we go to see family, so there is an interest that these issues are resolved sooner rather than later.”

“Are you confident, in the political context, that these issues will be resolved before the next Stormont election?”

““Could do more” is my interpretation of your answer.”

“Good morning, everybody. As a constituency MP, I spend lots of time working with and hassling the Environment Agency in England, so my question is on monitoring and enforcement. Mindful of the Chair’s gentle instructions on time, a brief answer would be helpful. Do you feel that the current system of enforcement is eff…”

“I congratulate the Minister on being freed from the Government Whips Office and welcome him to his position on the Front Bench. I commend the Government on extending the warm home discount to a further 2.7 million low-income households, but there is much more to do. With that in mind, will the Minister find time to mee…”

“7. What assessment he has made of the potential impact of extending the warm home discount on levels of fuel poverty.”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend on her knee exercises this morning in giving way to us all. May I give voice to my constituent Eva from Newcastle-under-Lyme? She has been in touch with me after I met her at a coffee morning recently. Her concerns are on early diagnosis, access to services and the fact that she is stuck o…”

“I am grateful to my constituency neighbours and near-neighbours, my hon. Friends the Members for Crewe and Nantwich (Connor Naismith), for Congleton (Sarah Russell), for Stoke-on-Trent North (David Williams), for Stoke-on-Trent South (Dr Gardner), for Stoke-on-Trent Central (Gareth Snell) and for Mid Cheshire (Andrew C…”

“I thank my hon. Friend and her Committee for this important report. The effects of drug addiction and misuse hit communities hard in Scotland, as we have heard, but also in Newcastle-under-Lyme and elsewhere in Staffordshire.

Those threats to our national security take place not just here, but overseas, and I am increasingly troubled by the actions of the Chinese Government in former British colonies across the world, not least …”

“I am very pleased that the Minister has confirmed and reiterated that the life sciences remain a priority in the industrial strategy. Keele University in Newcastle-under-Lyme is at the heart of our life sciences sector, which is particularly important for jobs and opportunities in the industrial heartlands in communiti…”
