Speeches by Bloore.

“I thank my hon. Friend for his dedicated work on this subject. Does he agree that, given that over 6 million people in the UK hold lasting power of attorney agreements, mandatory safeguarding procedures for all Government staff who handle LPAs, alongside clear guidance for banks, is essential to protect vulnerable peop…”

“My hon. Friend has articulately laid out the reasons to reform the current system. Does he agree that the best way to do that would be for the Government to deliver the new deal for working people in full, including reforming parental leave? Families deserve fair pay and a real choice to care for their children, withou…”

“I have met representatives from local businesses in the Jaguar Land Rover supply chain, and there can be no doubt that this Government’s £1.5 billion guarantee to support JLR has safeguarded thousands of jobs across the west midlands. Given the increasing cyber-threats facing UK industry, will the Leader of the House c…”

“When the Specialised Committee’s statement refers to “significant work that remains”, do you think that is about not just the nitty-gritty, but the confidence by both partners that it can be delivered?”

“Thank you, Minister and Secretary of State, for coming. The statement published after the Specialised Committee meeting on 2 October said that despite some progress having been made, “significant work…remains” to implement the Windsor framework as agreed. Just a few days later, the Financial Times reported that the Eur…”

“I have the final questions. The new legislation has one mention of reconciliation. I just want you to put on record that it is still a major priority of the legislation how that will be manifested in process. My second question is about part 4 of the old Act, on memorialising: why has that not started yet, and when doe…”

“I pay tribute to Redditch policing team, who do a fantastic job of keeping our community safe. However, residents are frustrated that our newly redeveloped police and fire station has no front counter; instead, residents must travel 20 miles to speak to an officer face to face, which simply is not good enough. Will the…”

“I have a couple of quick follow-ups on how progress against the plan will be monitored. Could you share with us whether that information will be made public, so that people can see how the plan is progressing? In my notes, there is also a question about how much progress will be made by the end of the Assembly’s mandat…”

“Minister, thank you for joining us. I have a couple of questions that refer to some of the statements you made when the plan was adopted by the Executive and some of the ways in which you will be held accountable for delivering the plan by the public and your colleagues. First, I am particularly interested in the gap i…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for taking the decision to invest £20 million through the Pride in Place scheme in my constituency. For 14 years, two communities—Woodrow and Greenlands —have been forgotten, while inequalities in health, jobs and skills have risen. Does the Minister agree that the right people to decide …”

“Over the summer, thanks to this Labour Government, empty classrooms and underutilised spaces have been turned into high-quality, school-based nursery provision at Matchborough first school in Redditch in my constituency. Does the Minister agree that this Government’s focus on the early years can and will make the bigge…”

“I recently met Vicki Quarton from Touchstones child bereavement services in Cookhill in my constituency and heard about the incredible work that she and her team are doing to support young people who have lost a loved one—often a parent. Will the Leader of the House consider a debate in Government time on how we can en…”

“Thank you for that answer, Secretary of State. When there is a void of information or a lack of clarity on when the situation will be clear for veterans, that is where actors can come in and muddy the waters. It would be good to know when you think some of those discussions with the Defence Secretary and the Veterans M…”

“Welcome, Secretary of State. I am going to touch on an issue now that I suspect many members of the Committee have had addressed in their inboxes and their community meetings, which is the issue of veterans. I know you took part in the Westminster Hall debate in response to the significant petition that came forward on…”

“The hon. Member is absolutely right to raise that point. Today I want to talk about the issue of stigma connected with diabetes and sport, particularly type 1 diabetes, and some of the inappropriate stereotypes that put people off taking part in sport, which then impacts their health. Exercise can reduce the amount of …”

“I thank my hon. Friend for a very articulate summary of where we are. We cannot risk losing these athletes from the system—or even risk losing the people who want to play sport at a grassroots level, just to keep fit and keep up friendships. The stories that I have told today expose a systemic failure: many coaches, sc…”
