Speeches by Platt.

“My hon. Friend is making an excellent point. Where the community comes in is a game changer, because it is all about intelligence. What will make the difference in seizing these off-road bikes is the police working with our local authorities and communities.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way; he is very kind. In my constituency, ASB is conducted by people who have alcohol and drug problems. Does he agree that the fact that the new respect orders have positive requirements, such as attending drug or alcohol support services, will get to the root of the problem?”

“Q Thank you for attending. I want to address the breach of protection orders. This question is more for Suky. I have been dealing with a case in Wigan, where the victim’s ex-partner committed the most heinous crime. Given that more than half of stalking victims are targeted by former intimate partners, do you think the…”

“Mark, is that a model that you recognise would work? You are going throughout the country and into some of the deprived areas.”

“I represent the best rugby league town in the country, with the mighty Leigh Leopards, and I know how important it is for that to filter down to our grassroots clubs. We have some amazing facilities, and the strength of that is obviously its workforce and volunteers. Across the board and across all our sporting sectors…”

“I will ask the same question to Sarah—on campaigns so that we could keep our volunteer base—but also then as well, as a separate question, what else could Government do?”

“I want to concentrate on the links between schools and community sport. If we take the disparities for children and young people from low economic backgrounds who are taking part in sports, the numbers are reducing, and similarly, schools in our more challenging or disadvantaged areas are less likely to offer pupils a …”

“Do you believe that a central person who is in the place could connect the schools to the clubs and to a place?”

“First, I thank the Minister for visiting Lilford in Leigh after the devastating new year’s day flooding. We had a public meeting on Saturday, and three months after those floods, residents are still struggling to get any real progress from their insurance companies, while others face extortionate premiums and excess fe…”

“12. What steps he has taken to help protect communities that are vulnerable to flooding.”

“Yes, I do agree, particularly for those who are vulnerable due to age, poverty or disability, as this will have a hugely negative impact on their life chances. This stark disparity underlines the need for better transport systems and new road networks—ones that boost economic productivity and ensure fairness and opport…”

“Thank you for chairing the debate, Dr Murrison. There is not much time left, so I will not go through everyone’s contribution, but I express thanks to everybody who attended and everybody who made such valid points about how we improve our transport infrastructure for the north-west. I just hope that as we go forward, …”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered improving transport connectivity in the North West. It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Ms McVey. I am delighted to see so many Members here today. The issue at hand affects many constituencies in the north-west, including mine. Leigh and Atherton, once a beacon …”

“The Canal & River Trust manages 2,000 miles of waterway, including nearly 500 miles in the north-west. I recently met the trust and its dedicated volunteers, who highlighted confusion about ownership and funding difficulties. Will the Leader of the House join me in thanking that organisation, and does she agree tha…”

“I whole- heartedly welcome the Minister’s statement. It will be a true day of national unity. Last week, I presented a long overdue official armed forces badge to 100-year-old veteran Eric Radcliffe. Will the Minister thank Eric for his service, and will she inform the House and my constituents in Leigh and Atherton ab…”
