Speeches by Craft.

“You cannot just be parachuted in to solve a brief thing. Do you think that there is an issue around the type of people who are served by the HOPE(S) programme, almost because it is such a low prevalence per ICB, but also perhaps it is people who are not always at the forefront of commissioners’ and planners’ imaginatio…”

“Going forward, what would help? Would it be a continued national roll-out of the programme or even on a regional basis? What would work?”

“Is it that, within an organisation, you need an outside perspective to break that almost cultural, institutionalised way of doing things and that is what a national approach helps to do?”

“Would you say that there is something in having highly specialised staff carrying out the programme that perhaps you might not be able to find at a hyper-local, regional or local ICB level?”

“Is that taking away from time that you would be spending making clinical interventions?”

“You said that there is quite a lot of variation. When you go to different regions, do you find that there are any cultural differences in how to adopt a programme that is so unique and different and embodies such a different approach?”

“It was a pleasure to serve under the chairmanship of my hon. Friend during our Committee’s inquiry into the first 1,000 days of life. I was particularly struck by how, at this crucial period in a child’s lifetime—for those who are not aware, the 1,000 days begins at the moment of conception and goes up until they are t…”

“You mentioned earlier the leaning in favour of longer-life foods, because the demand might not be there regularly for fresher food. Is there a lean towards that in the smaller stores?”

“Would you not support a nutrient profiling model that makes that crystal clear? I keep coming back to the example of Coco Pops—my colleagues know that I seem to have a vendetta against that particular breakfast cereal. That packet has several health claims on it—on fibre, on protein—but the sugar content of that cereal…”

“I would hope to see it change, because I would reflect that at the moment in some of the poorer areas of my constituency, that is not necessarily the case. That is what I have had reported back to me. Liz, I will pick up briefly on what you were saying about the nutrient profile model and the concerns about it. You men…”

“Does anyone else have anything on that?”

“Are you looking at this proactively? I will give you a good example. In my patch we have Tilbury. I think there are plans to build an Aldi there, but most people’s access to fruit and vegetable shopping is limited to the little Tesco Express in the heart of the community, and residents have told me that its fruit and v…”

“But you would broadly support something that makes it clear and does not allow health claims to overawe fats, salt and sugar?”

“Thank you for coming today. I want to turn to healthy sales targets, and I might pick up a bit on what my colleague Danny was just focusing on. Many of you have already implemented healthy sales targets. Is there anything that the Government could learn from your experiences when designing their new healthy food standa…”

“Thank you. Beth, I think you said that Asda was seeing year-on-year reports of healthier food targets being met. Do you have that data to hand, or are you able to write to us and share it?”

“Okay, fantastic. I want to pick up on a couple of slightly more niche things. You said that smaller stores are exempt from Government legislation on product placement and various other policies aimed at it, but obviously a number of you have smaller stores that fall into that footprint. Have you taken action in your sm…”

“People are the backbone of our NHS, and I am incredibly grateful to the healthcare staff who work in it, particularly in Thurrock, and who care tirelessly every day, often in difficult conditions, for my constituents. As a lifelong Thurrock resident, I have experienced their excellent care as a patient, and now as an M…”

“Ensignbus, which operates in my constituency, is not a bus manufacturer per se, but it repurposes buses and is looking to get into the repowering of buses that have finished their natural life, usually in London, which will aid the switch to zero emissions. Will my hon. Friend join me in encouraging and supporting it i…”

“It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Mrs Barker. I extend my congratulations to the campaigners for securing this debate, and particularly to the 442 people in my constituency who signed the petition. As many Members have pointed out, play-based learning is not about lowering attainment or standards. Indeed, count…”

“I now turn to antisemitism in the NHS. First, how are you engaging with Lord Mann’s rapid review into tackling racism and antisemitism?”
