Speeches by Vince.

“I do not know much about Staffordshire’s police and crime commissioner, but I absolutely take on board what my hon. Friend says. If that is the case, it is hugely disappointing. It is hugely important that police and crime commissioners across the country take seriously all parts of the areas they represent, including …”

“I thank the Minister and the shadow Minister for opening the debate. I oppose Lords amendment 11, but I do recognise its merits. Let me begin, however, by talking about the wider issue of fly-tipping, which is an absolute bugbear of mine. When I go canvassing, or indeed when I visit Harlow Town football club, I am ofte…”

“His speech was a bit shorter than mine, to be fair.”

“Do you want more? Okay. [Laughter.] To finish, I will say that it is hugely important that democracy is not just for the few. It is so important that everyone has the opportunity to take part in this country’s democracy, and this place is a beacon for democracy in this country like probably no other; actually, it is a …”

“I thank the Leader of the House, the shadow Leader of the House and the Liberal Democrat Chief Whip—I have no doubt that she will thrash me in the London marathon in 10 days’ time—for starting the debate. I join the Leader of the House in paying tribute to the former Leader of the House, my right hon. Friend the Member…”

“I thank the Minister for her statement, and for her ongoing commitment to ensuring that women’s health is at the heart of this Government’s agenda, which is hugely important. A bit like my hon. Friend the Member for Burnley (Oliver Ryan), I was shocked by the number of women from my constituency of Harlow who came forw…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for his statement, and I welcome the extension of the BIC scheme and the difference it will make to manufacturing businesses in my constituency. I wish to make a brief representation on behalf of the Lea Valley Growers, who are based in Nazeing in my constituency. As the Secretary of Stat…”

“I welcome the consultation that the Minister is holding on this important issue. I declare an interest, as I am a member of the Education Committee—that seems to be something we should mention—and I am the chair of the all-party parliamentary group for young carers and young adult carers. Will she ensure that as this c…”

“I thank the Minister and the shadow Secretary of State, the hon. Member for Faversham and Mid Kent (Helen Whately), for opening this debate. I was not expecting it to be quite so lively, so I will try to add a bit of animation to what was initially going to be quite a dry speech from me. [Interruption.] That is hard to…”

“I declare an interest that I am an officer of the same APPG as Peter. Also, I was once a member of the NEU.”

“Some of you have touched upon this already. The Government propose inclusion bases that will offer specialist support in mainstream schools and colleges. That is broken into two types, which are support bases run by schools and trusts, and specialist bases run by local authorities. This is specifically to Daniel and Ma…”

“I have seen some really good examples of that in my constituency of Harlow, but I recognise the challenges that they are facing. To go on to look at specialist bases, I am looking at Amanda on this. It is basically the same question. How do you see these specialist bases, so those that are specifically run by local aut…”

“Do you have any examples? You talked about mistakes. Do you have any particular examples?”

“I declare an interest that I am an officer of the same APPG as Peter. Also, I was once a member of the NEU.”

“You would still want to reduce the need of it.”

“You say, “Let’s have a clean slate” and Anna talked about that need for a culture change, but there is a reality that there will always still be mistakes. That is reality, so there does still need to be some sort of mechanism. What would you like to see there?”

“I admire your ambition for that.”

“A lot of the evidence that we have received says there was basic consensus that SEND tribunals should only ever be used as a last resort. The Department said they expect the vast majority of disagreements to be resolved. We spoke to the representative of the local authority. Once we teased it out from her, the implicat…”
