Speeches by Coleman.

“That is very positive, but your timeframe says that it will be only after 18 months that you issue these progress reports. If they have not done what is needed—I hope that they will do what is needed—we are only then going to consider legislation. Given the time that that will take to prepare and go through Parliament,…”

“Okay, so that may include legislation.”

“By “mandatory measures”, you mean that you are prepared to consider legislation.”

“Will you be issuing a report on marketing and labelling as well?”

“I hope that all the healthy carrots you put in place work, and that you will not need to bring in a stick.”

“That is brilliant, honestly. I thought the announcement this morning was terrific. I think we all here welcome what you are doing. It is a fantastic to have a Government who are actually taking these things seriously, finally. On the supermarkets having to have mandatory targets on healthy food, what is going to happen…”

“So it is something the parliamentary standards committee might want to look into. Good. Well, I wish you luck with this. I think it is going to be fascinating progress. We will probably still want to have some idea of whether they are going in the right direction before 18 months are up, because otherwise, babies are g…”

“I welcome my hon. Friend to his new position, which is hugely well deserved. This motion gives the impression that the Conservatives care about homeowners and renters, but does he agree that it is Labour who are giving homeowners greater powers and protections through leasehold reform, giving renters stability so that …”

“I very much welcome the Secretary of State’s announcement, which means that Thames Water will no longer be able to treat my constituents with contempt—as it did under the previous Conservative Government—by diverting many millions from the bills paid by local residents to shell out dividends to its shareholders and pay…”

“One of the businesses that stands to benefit from the EU trade agreement is a butcher and deli in my constituency that imports a lot of its products from Spain. At the moment, its shelves are unfortunately half-empty because its small Spanish supplier—effectively a man with a van—says he simply cannot cope with all the…”

“7. What progress his Department has made on implementing recent trade agreements.”

“Given all the extraordinary and wonderful things that the right hon. Gentleman is setting out, is it not equally extraordinary that the British people thought you were a shower and needed to get rid of you—and they did? That is why you are on the Opposition Benches and we are over here.”

“No doubt we can come back and discuss whether we think your approach is right. Obviously, it is a necessary thing. I have a final quick question on a slightly different thing: neighbourhoods. Who is going to lead these locally? It could be GPs. It could be hospitals. It could be NHS trusts. It could be private companie…”

“Will you take that into consideration?”

“The 10 year plan has some dates by which things will happen. Are you planning to produce a single overview timetable for the implementation of all the different promises in the plan? If so, when will you produce that timetable by?”

“Very poor contract management.”

“That is going to require extra resource for whoever is doing it. Running a neighbourhood health service is quite a management job. Is extra resource going to be given to whoever is actually managing it, whichever part of the NHS they are doing it from, or are they going to be expected to manage and set up these new nei…”

“But led by the NHS?”

“Secretary of State, Jim and Sally, thank you very much for coming today. The plan has been a fascinating read and also a nice read in large print, which makes a change for a Government document; it actually makes it easier to read. I want to talk a little bit about equality, particularly race inequalities, and about in…”

“Just a couple of pages. Thank you.”
