Speeches by Aldridge.

“One of the things that the hon. Gentleman’s constituency and mine share is that we are quite close to floodplains. The rhyne management has been a real problem. That goes back to the austerity cuts of the coalition Government, and we still have not got back from that. That is a real problem for many coastal communities…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell-Buck. I congratulate the hon. Member for North Shropshire (Helen Morgan) on securing the debate; we are all impatient for change and proper accountability from water companies, so it is an important one. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on an issue tha…”

“I thank the hon. Member for securing this debate on the Nolan principles, which I have been very interested in for a long time, working in public service. In a digital-first world, with so much of our lives documented and undertaken online, does he agree that there is a greater necessity for a reimagination of the Nola…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Desmond. As the MP for a constituency with not one but two rugby union clubs, the governance of English rugby union is of particular importance to me and my constituents. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Camborne and Redruth (Perran Moon) for securing this deba…”

“It is really important that we reflect on the impact of that under-investment in neighbourhood policing, and specifically on the cultural feeling of insecurity, and people’s feeling that crime will not be responded to. That has pervaded every society. I hear that on the doorsteps every time I go out. It will take a lon…”

“Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?”

“Weston Museum, in the heart of Weston-super-Mare, is a joyful community hub famous for Clara’s cottage, fantastic cake and, now, Banksy’s famous pinwheel. The museum is also hosting a beautiful exhibition curated by some of the wonderful women of Weston-super-Mare for International Women’s Day. Will the Leader of the H…”

“While the Tories and Reform might be happy to see rogue owners running roughshod over fans and players across the country, does the Minister agree that this Labour Government will not allow fans to be taken for fools any longer?”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Turner. Football in England is not just a sport; it is a way of life. It binds communities together, gives local communities pride and provides opportunities both on and off the pitch, not least to my amazing nephews and my niece. In my constituency, Weston-super-Mar…”

“It is important to make the point that sewage in rivers filters into our coastlines in constituencies such as mine in Weston-super-Mare. The type of crisis that the hon. Gentleman is outlining very eloquently in his local river demands a generational transformation, with clear penalties for water bosses. Does he agree …”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Tipton and Wednesbury (Antonia Bance) for securing this important debate. It is important to note that the Labour party is the party of neighbourhood policing. People can see that when they look at the number of Governm…”

“Going back to the inquest system—”

“Thank you all for your contributions. We really value them. It has definitely enhanced my understanding so much, so I really appreciate it. The ICRIR model was built around conditional immunity for people coming to it with information. With those provisions now deemed incompatible with the ECHR, how do you envisage par…”

“I have a more specific supplementary for Alyson. Should the list of those who can refer cases to ICRIR be widened as part of its reforms and should the commission be able to initiate its own investigations?”

“There is an element of confusion on my part. We are saying that the ICRIR does not have trust—that is what is being said—but then on the other side of it victims are getting older and passing away. We have the ICRIR, which is not working. It will take time, a lot of effort and a whole other process of gaining trust and…”

“The Bill constitutes a significant step towards streamlining and strengthening our technical education and apprenticeship system, and, as someone who worked in the apprenticeships sector in different roles, I am a big fan. So many of us have seen at first hand how apprenticeships transform lives—how they build dignity …”

“Like many colleagues across the House, I am in no doubt that immigration and border security are a top concern for many of the people I represent in Weston-super-Mare. They tell me on the doorstep, by email and on social media that this is not a conversation that we can shy away from, although any conversation on immig…”

“Is there anywhere we can look at what that looks like? Is there a document that explains a bit more about what that course of work looks like, so we can get a sense of what magnitude that is? I am really interested in what that looks like, from a transparency perspective, rather than anything else.”

“That is very helpful. Thank you.”

“Just for my clarity, I think I am aware of the work the Executive have done. It is more about the link between what the Executive have done and the UK Government. What steps are there? Is there anything we can help with?”
