Speeches by Hume.

“I completely agree with my hon. Friend that Reform’s plans are a threat to our beautiful countryside, and our constituents do not want them. Europa’s plans have been widely opposed by the local community. In response, campaigners launched a petition that has garnered more than 10,000 signatories calling for a Governmen…”

“My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. An 18 to 20-year-old this Christmas who is serving a pint will be earning £1.40 an hour more. Does he agree that this demonstrates Labour’s commitment to young people?”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the potential merits of banning small-scale fracking operation. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Roger. It is also a pleasure to lead a debate on banning small-scale fracking—an issue that I have campaigned on since I was elected MP for Scarborough and Wh…”

“On the figure of 7,200 families from the PANS PANDAS UK report, my own experience suggests that it will be much higher. Would you agree?”

“That is very pragmatic.”

“Thank you, Susan—it is a really important debate. The Committee currently has 16 Chamber-only debates awaiting allocation, which means that the debate is likely to be scheduled for March at the very earliest. Are you happy to wait that long, or would you be willing to accept a Westminster Hall debate, which may come al…”

“Alexander Dennis is a British electric bus manufacturer employing more than 700 people in Scarborough. Major bus contracts are due to go live in early 2026. Will the Minister confirm that this Government are backing British-built buses over Chinese imports, and can he confirm that the changes to public procurement proc…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Allin-Khan. I thank the hon. Member for Bromley and Biggin Hill (Peter Fortune) for securing this important debate. According to the Press Gazette, nearly 300 local papers have closed since 2005. We are at a tipping point. The Public Interest News Foundation estimates …”

“Thank you, Jim. I note that you have just three Labour names on your list at the moment. We would probably look for a fourth for an even split.”

“We appreciate you coming and pitching, as a season ticket holder and frequent flyer, but how confident are you that the supporters of your application will actually participate in your debate? The reason I am asking, Jim, is that we recently allocated you a debate on end-of-life care, but when we checked, none of the p…”

“Make it Jim Shannon day.”

“Boulby mine is the world’s only polyhalite mine, but Woodsmith mine near Whitby is hoping to be the second. Polyhalite is a rare mineral that is used as a super-fertiliser. Will the Minister confirm that polyhalite, which contains magnesium, is eligible for support under the new strategy?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Vaz. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Shipley (Anna Dixon) for securing this timely debate, and for all her work to raise awareness of unpaid carers. It is a privilege to follow the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon), who is an unstinting advocate for his co…”

“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…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Harris. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Calder Valley (Josh Fenton-Glynn) on securing the debate, and echo his calls to buy British. As the first seaside resort in Britain, Scarborough pioneered bathing machines for women—horse-drawn sheds on wheels—who e…”

“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 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?”

“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”. …”

“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…”
