Speeches by Taylor.

“Are you able to say what the percentage of central Government funding was?”

“I appreciate that additional information. Emma, what were the key drivers for your organisation’s involvement in the scheme and how was the case made internally for investing in flood resilience?”

“Mr Shelton, are you able to answer the same question? Would you like me to repeat the question?”

“Yes, please.”

“Mr Moxon, looking back, do you feel that the scale of the investment has matched the impact, in terms of avoided flood damage, business continuity and long-term economic resilience for the city and the region?”

“The next section is about partnership funding, how it works in practice, where it adds value and what the challenges have been in the delivery of that. Mr Moxon, how straightforward is it for local authorities to align priorities, timelines and funding rules across different partners in large flood schemes?”

“Mr Shelton, Network Rail supported phase 2 of the Leeds scheme. From your perspective, what were the key factors that helped justify that contribution? Also, was flood risk primarily seen as an operational issue or part of a broader resilience objective?”

“That is amazing. Emma, if I can ask you about Yorkshire Water’s contribution, you contributed financially to phase 1. What made it a priority for the company to support it, and how do you assess that kind of investment in terms of protecting assets, long-term resilience and customers?”

“To be clear, as far as the Duchy is concerned there is no actual subsidy being provided and other developers of scale could take the same patient capital approach. In your view, there is no reason why they could not undertake similar projects.”

“We are very much looking forward to coming to Nansledan in a couple of weeks. I am trying to understand to what extent the Duchy of Cornwall’s backing enabled you to pursue your sustainable development aspirations. I also noted that you mentioned in your answer to a previous question that you felt that the fact that th…”

“When you mentioned the returns on the development—the 15%—is that on all your development costs?”

“Do you have any recommendations on how developers who do not have such deep pockets, deep resources and that long-term patient capital approach could still build sustainability and biodiversity into housing developments?”

“10. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle violence against women and girls.”

“Will the Minister please give consideration to women’s safety in and around railway stations? Will she focus on unmanned railway stations? I have many in my constituency.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Jardine. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for North Ayrshire and Arran (Irene Campbell) for introducing the topic. This issue resonates deeply with many people across the country, including in my constituency, where the concern for animal welfare is strong and hear…”

“Does my right hon. Friend agree that the state of the national health service in Scotland is contributing to the low birth rate in Scotland, and we need to invest in maternity, fertility and post-birth services for mothers?”

“As a former chartered surveyor, with 30 years in commercial property before entering this place, I congratulate the right hon. Member for Rayleigh and Wickford (Mr Francois) on the very proactive approach he is taking in speaking to the numerous stakeholders. I think that is exactly the correct approach in such a situa…”

“My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. The Coalfields Regeneration Trust has an innovative approach to its financial model. It develops new industrial units for small and medium-sized enterprises and start-up businesses. This, importantly, creates new business communities, which fuel local economies. Moreover, i…”

“On a further comment from the Corry report, will the recommendations on digitalisation in the review assist with any of your operations?”
