Speeches by Brown-Fuller.

“I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Voters in Chichester will rightly be disappointed that their right to vote has been stripped away in favour of creating what seems like a rushed unitary authority in just 12 months. West Sussex county council failed to fill potholes, find so…”

“If my hon. Friend is agreeing to a Westminster Hall debate, then I would say her application is balanced well enough. I feel like I have become the balance of Opposition and Government police! It would be great if you could re-reach out when you are given the date of the debate, particularly to the Government to encour…”

“Nearly every family has a cancer story, whether it is a personal fight or that of a loved one. A 10-year plan from the Government is a welcome step, as the previous Government broke their promise to implement a 10-year cancer strategy that would have made a real difference to patients. We on the Liberal Democrat Benche…”

“I did as well.”

“Can I ask, Sir Iain, if you have asked the Leader of the House whether the Government will make time for this debate?”

“It would be remiss of me not to say that although you have lots of Opposition Members, you have a pretty poor showing from the Government side. If you are asking for a Chamber debate, we would expect to see that out of 15 names, at least half were from the Government. I would politely request that you talk to some of o…”

“The same one—sorry to be a bore. You have lots of Government support and only two Opposition Members on your application. I encourage you to reach out to more Opposition Members; I am sure it is a conversation that they would all like to have. A colleague of mine had her phone stolen just last week.”

“Thank you, Dawn, for suggesting this debate. You are bit low on Opposition Members: you have lots of Labour support, but only two speakers from the Opposition. I would suggest somebody like Munira Wilson, the Liberal Democrat MP for Twickenham: she brought a ten-minute rule Bill to the House that was all about PFAS, so…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Jeremy. I thank the hon. Member for Middlesbrough and Thornaby East (Andy McDonald) for securing today’s important debate. I think we can agree across the House that this debate is really about the workers, and the disproportionate effect that outsourcing has on so…”

“I would accept it, Chair.”

“Yes, please.”

“According to the UN, 1.9 million people in Gaza are currently displaced, which is 90% of the population. Half of them are children. How will the Minister work to secure the right of return and self-determination for Palestinians in Gaza, especially in the light of the calls from the US President to “clean out” Palestin…”

“Just one thing: it will not affect your application, but I know that Scotland ran a scheme in schools, which was called something like “Happy Healthy Minds”, so it would be great if the SNP were also represented in that debate. Perhaps you could reach out and encourage them to make sure that their voices are represente…”

“Thank you for bringing forward this debate on market towns. I have a keen interest in the subject, as before I came to this place, I was trying desperately to keep a market alive in my own market town. What inspired you to bring forward this debate, and what is happening in your constituency that made you want to talk …”

“Apologies, Chair. I stated on the application that I would like it to be in the Chamber, but I would be very happy to accept a Westminster Hall debate if it is possible to bring it forward sooner, because I believe that this is an important topic that needs to be raised. It has cross-party support. As you can see from …”

“I thank my hon. Friend on behalf of those on the Liberal Democrat Benches for her truly impassioned speech and for her work on the Bill. Chichester harbour has lost 58% of its saltmarsh since 1946—the equivalent of three football pitches every year. Does she agree that that needs to stop today to ensure that that natio…”

“I am very grateful to the Government for making time for the House to debate the important topic of Holocaust remembrance ahead of Monday’s Holocaust Memorial Day, a day of solemn remembrance and reflection. On that day, 80 years will have passed since the death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated, yet the memories r…”

“I thank the Minister for advance sight of her statement. I can only imagine the frustration that consumers feel when they go through the quite often complicated process of trying to upgrade their home to bring down their bills for good, only to be met with substandard work and a subsequent lack of enforcement. Liberal …”

“I hope the Government will pay heed to the strength of feeling across West Sussex and my constituency that elections should never be cancelled opportunistically under the guise of local government reorganisation. It leads to the disenfranchisement of voters and further erodes trust in politics and politicians. Followin…”

“The grant scheme we are debating enabled St Paul’s in my constituency to undergo some radical improvements to accessibility and its community spaces. Without the community spaces that operate out of churches and cathedrals, the homes for charities no longer exist. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, given that every £1…”
