Speeches by Bloore.

“Happy St George’s day, Mr Speaker. When Jaguar Land Rover was the victim of a cyber-attack, it had a devastating impact on the supply chain in Redditch. Will the proposed cyber-resilience index, which is part of the Government’s welcome focus on improving cyber-security and national security, be subject to parliamentar…”

“I apologise for my tardiness in arriving, Mrs Harris. The hon. Gentleman is making a valid point. Does he agree that as well as challenging the Government about what they can do for young carers, we must challenge our colleges and education establishments to ensure that they are environments where young carers can thri…”

“The hon. Member is making an excellent speech, and I want to reiterate his point. I have an extraordinary situation in Worcestershire, where many of my housing officers are not in the borough or even in the region that they serve. I find it extraordinary that I get regular interventions from the police telling me where…”

“I completely concur with my hon. Friend’s point. We are asking people to play by the rules, yet the rules do not work for them. I conclude by paying tribute to the work of my hon. Friend the Member for West Bromwich (Sarah Coombes) on ghost plates. It is a moment of pride to be named as a supporter of her Bill. She has…”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for Mid Dorset and North Poole (Vikki Slade) on securing this debate. This is one of those occasions where I do not have a written speech from my staff. Most MPs, I suspect, use some sort of casework system; I am up to almost 20,000 cases at the moment, but when a constituent visited me a…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Stafford (Leigh Ingham) on securing this important urgent question, and I thank the Minister for his statement. Businesses in my constituency—a manufacturing town—strongly welcome this new approach, and we should be unashamedly proud to back our British businesses. Can the M…”

“China is obviously not a plug-in-and-play market in the traditional sense. Is the challenge you are going to face, when you take those 60 businesses over, how they can effectively engage with the economy and the business there?”

“James, I was really interested in the picture you painted about businesses erring on the side of caution and some taking a more strategic decision to engage with China. That is a message that I get regularly from businesses. I represent Redditch, which has a large manufacturing history making specialised parts. If by s…”

“We have taken this too far now.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you both. I am particularly interested in the benefits of doing business with China compared with other economies. What spiked my interest particularly is China’s digital marketplace framework. I would be interested in your comments on how China compares with the US, Europe and India.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Ellesmere Port and Bromborough (Justin Madders) on securing this debate. I refer to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests regarding my union support and membership of the trade union group of La…”

“I wholeheartedly agree and so would my constituents. A price cap would ensure that households are not left exposed to sudden and excessive increases that they simply cannot plan for. The Competition and Markets Authority has previously raised concerns about weak competition and poor transparency in this market. Those c…”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for North Norfolk (Steff Aquarone) on securing this important debate. Across our rural communities and in villages such mine, including Inkberrow and Cookhill, many households are not connected to the mains gas grid and have no choice but to rely on heating oil. In recent weeks, my office…”

“First of all, I need to declare an interest: I know Karim from a previous life. I just wanted to put that on the record. We have heard from the previous witnesses about the infrastructure constraints on AI growth moving forward. From the investment side, what are the constraints on AI growth in the UK? I will start wit…”

“I thank the Minister for the contents of his statement and for the diligence of his work with Sir Brian Langstaff and the victims to ensure that the inquiry’s recommendations have been delivered. Noting the incredible damage that has been done to many of our constituents’ lives as they try to return to normality, may I…”

“Going back to your answer to Charlie’s question, Mr Evans, he offered you the blank cheque of what you would like on copyright laws. You very carefully sidestepped the answer of what you would like to see. You said that you would like a competitive position and certainty. Bearing in mind how important the issue of copy…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Mansfield (Steve Yemm) on securing this important debate; he has been a champion on this issue since he came to this place. The Minister mentioned patient experience. One issue that has been brought to my attention in my surgeries is th…”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“Thank you for all the evidence you have given today. I just want to touch on the Paramilitary Crime Task Force. Since its inception, I was going through some of the statistics and evidence of what the taskforce has achieved in the last nine years. It is quite impressive in terms of the number of searches conducted, the…”

“Thank you both for your evidence this morning. It has been really interesting. I want to talk through a couple of quick questions about the McCullough review and, specifically, the progress you have made on the recommendations that were put forward by Mr McCullough. Can you confirm that the cross-checking of journalist…”
