Speeches by Hume.

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mr Mundell. A constituent recently wrote to me: “ME has taken almost everything from me. I can no longer work, I am mainly confined to my chair or bed and, on the rare occasion that I leave the house for medical appointments, I need to use a wheelchair or walker and it oft…”

“On Armistice Day, the country pauses to remember all those who died in the service of our country. For 88-year-old Gordon from Whitby, as for so many others who lost a family member, there is no need to pause, because he remembers every single day. Gordon’s older brother, Bob, who was 18, was killed towards the end of …”

“I rise to present a petition on specialist treatment for stroke patients at Scarborough hospital. It declares that “Scarborough Hospital should once again provide specialist emergency assessment, investigation, treatment and care for patients who are potentially suffering from, or have suffered from, an acute stroke”. …”

“I just want to say thank you for the presentation, Ruth. I would think that the vast majority of the British public might already assume that it has been banned, and therefore this is a very timely debate.”

“Thank you for your presentation, James. Where is the inland freeport?”

“Coastal communities such as Scarborough, which have benefited from the safer streets initiative, have seen incidents of antisocial behaviour drop by 23% this year compared with the previous summer. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Labour Government, by tackling antisocial behaviour, are breathing new life into our hi…”

“It is brilliant that last month a total of £214 million was invested in communities across Wales as part of the Government’s pride in place scheme.

“2. What recent discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on increasing economic growth in Wales.”

“In my glorious coastal constituency, we have the fantastic RNLI stations in Scarborough and Whitby, but we also have a brilliant independent lifeboat—the Runswick bay rescue boat. That is based in the scenic Runswick bay, popular for fishing, water sports and coastal walks. The volunteer crew play a critical role in sa…”

“I just want to say that I have signed this one, Chair. I am very keen.”

“That was fascinating.”

“Just to declare my interest, Chair.”

“I signed it.”

“I warmly welcome the Government’s investment in a sustainable fishing and shellfish industry, which will create jobs and drive growth in coastal communities such as mine. Will the Minister provide a timeline for when stakeholders, such as the Whitby & District Fishing Industry Training School and the Whitby lobster…”

“In August, authorities declared a major incident after a wildfire broke out in Langdale forest and spread dangerously close to RAF Fylingdales, the ballistic missile early warning base. Given the increasing threat that wildfires pose to our security, can the Minister confirm whether he will consider automatically activ…”

“6. What recent progress his Department has made on strengthening national resilience.”

“Thank you, Mr Speaker. Every survivor’s experience of abuse is unique. Does the Minister agree that taking the time to find the right chair will enable them to ensure that every story will be fully told?”

“I thank the Minister both for her statement and for the passion and rigour that she brings to her role. Even if sometimes she might say things that she has to apologise for, we greatly appreciate her dedication to the role.”

“I recently had the pleasure of meeting the SBA Unity racing team from Scarborough University Technical College, which came third at the STEM Racing world finals in Singapore.
