Speeches by Beales.

“Is there any data? You said compliance is high, it is the law, so they will be doing it—I am paraphrasing, it might not be exactly that—but do you have any data about the percentage uptake, the level of compliance?”

“Would it be a few millions or billions, generally?”

“Do you know how much money your businesses spend on advertising a year as a sector?”

“Jim, I am coming to you now to talk about the out-of-home sector and calorie labelling regulations, which were introduced by the previous Government. What is your sense of the level of uptake and compliance of relevant businesses?”

“Would that look like tools and guides to potentially count calories?”

“These are larger businesses with 250-plus employees at the moment, not SMEs at this stage. Just lastly, you do not support the policy or the extension, you do not have any information to inform that particularly, it is just inconvenient. In terms of if there was an extension, what support would be needed to make it wor…”

“Do you not think, if your sector is pumping out messaging to try to get people to buy things—probably often more unhealthy food than healthier food, I would argue—they also have a responsibility to tell consumers what is in the food when they come to buy it?”

“Yes, to get better compliance, to support the businesses that may be coming into scope, should the requirements be extended. Is there any particular support the sector would want to see?”

“Would that be more than it costs to put calories on menus?”

“I thank the hon. and gallant Member for securing this important debate. As in his constituency, significant amounts of wildlife crime are being reported by residents of Uxbridge and South Ruislip. I recently met with the Save our Swans group and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. The horrific events that he…”

“I want to turn to early career. We have touched on career development. In terms of training and early career development, what are some of the issues that AHPs or prospective AHPs are facing?”

“As well as specialising within the strand of the AHP profession, is there potential for a more general route into AHPs? Doctors and nurses tend not to specialise early on. You become a more general medical professional and then you specialise as you rotate around different services. Is there a sense that having to pick…”

“Why is that?”

“Most people will not train. Being a GP is very different from being a doctor in secondary care or being a doctor in another part of the care system in the community. I am just pointing out that there is a level of fluidity in those professions. It sounds to me that in the current training system you have to decide quit…”

“How many of the 14 AHP strands are open to people with apprenticeships or have apprenticeship routes into them?”

“In terms of routes into those qualified designated professions, we hear that recruitment is a challenge. If it is not a challenge, that is great, but we hear it is a challenge. In terms of entering one of those registered professions, we have received a bit of evidence around apprenticeship routes and degree apprentice…”

“Are the boundaries blurred? I am not disrespecting the professions. Equally, while a community nurse is very different from a nurse in secondary care or primary care, there can be some movement between those professions.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for his excellent advocacy on this issue, which is much appreciated across the House. In Uxbridge and South Ruislip, which has a significant and important BNO community, I recognise the concerns that he has outlined. I welcome the fact that the Government have moved, but does my hon. Friend agree…”

“My hon. Friend describes perfectly the impacts that we see. Even in outer London and Hillingdon, we see the impact of the short-term let sector. We see it near Heathrow, which is very proximate to my constituency. New clause 31 would enable differential charging. It does not mandate what the charges would be, or that o…”

“Communities in Cornwall, Dorset and Devon, in common with many in London, have experience of the overnight stay and tourist economy, and of the impact on local communities. They know about the powers, budgets and fiscal freedoms that councils and mayors have to respond to the issues. I agree that the levy should be cha…”
