Speeches by Mayer.

“Residents in Fossett Grove have been battling for 10 years for the adoption of a piece of land that is strewn with litter. Elsewhere in my constituency, roads are not gritted during the winter months, in Bidwell West we have an area where they cannot get a post box and, where a car crashed into a house, we cannot get a…”

“9. What steps his Department is taking to expedite road adoption.”

“Michael, you were talking before about Nottingham, and you used the phrase “strong political leadership,” which had allowed the workplace parking levy and then an integrated transport system. Do you think there is a danger that we conflate strong and stable in the sense that there are quite a lot of places—I would prob…”

“Do you think that the strategy supports the technological innovation and interoperability needed specifically for integration?”

“Richard, you talked about mobility hubs. The concept is great, but the term is terrible. Do you have any more detail on how you think this approach could improve integration?”

“Thinking about the rest of the country, do you think the strategy is overly focused on city regions? Is there enough in there about how to achieve integration in more rural areas or market towns?”

“What stops you from doing that?”

“Does anyone else want to answer that?”

“What are the incentives and disincentives that you find for doing that?”

“The strategy sets out a good aim of ensuring seamless connections between trains and buses, but does it provide enough practical detail? Does it go into any of the incentives that might be needed to make that happen?”

“I suppose my question to Jamie is: could you have achieved everything that you have achieved if your constituent authorities were all entirely different political parties who did not agree with each other?”

“My point is it also had one party in power for a long time, whereas where we are moving to devolution now, we are going to have a lot of chopping and changing of political leadership.”

“Finally, we need a great British spruce-up of all our stations. As we roll out GBR, I want everything to look really good at our stations. Also, I have been reassured by my conversations with the Rail Minister about names on trains. I was worried, as we painted them all red, white and blue, that the names that people h…”

“It is fundamentally all public money.”

“I warmly welcome the Bill. It is fantastic that the vast majority of residents—passengers—in the east of England are travelling on trains in public ownership. This is the next piece of the jigsaw. I note that the amendment paper appears to be longer than the Bill, so as somebody who has contributed to that, I will turn…”

“The strategy says that the Government will “research into the barriers to, and benefits of, Mobility as a service.” In answer to various parliamentary questions, the Government have said that they have no comprehensive list of mobility as a service apps at the moment, or a sense of how much public funding is being spen…”

“The highway code already says that lights should not be dazzling other drivers, yet drivers increasingly say that they are being dazzled by headlamps. Are the proposals in the road safety strategy going far enough to deal with this problem?”

“Do we not have to make it easy for drivers? Frankly, I turn things on and off by mistake sometimes and think, “Why on earth have the seats started getting warm?”—whereas if there were a giant button that said “Safe” and I had to press it in, I am sure I would.”

“I know I am not meant to ask a supplementary.”
