| 31 Aug 2025 | Children in Poverty “I thank the Secretary of State wholeheartedly for that response, and I agree with her.

| 16 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-07-16) “Still focusing on the co-ordination into communities, we have heard lots of evidence about having a postcode lottery of where it works well.

| 16 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-07-16) “I will go to Minister Peacock with a separate question.

| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “Emily, obviously, the scheme’s cap has affected churches currently undertaking projects. What is the impact of that?” | 17 |
| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “Do you think it should be changed? If you have a heritage listed status building yet the organisation or whatever is within it is of cultural or of social good, should there be some leniency with regards to protecting that building? If the windows need doing or the roof needs replacing, does it have to come at such a c…” | 69 |
| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “We will look forward to receiving that.

| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “We are talking about the Theatres Trust but, as Michael has alluded to, this applies to the whole of the creative and cultural sector.” | 24 |
| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “No, exactly. Josh, you mentioned that Sport England is advocating for a more refined consultee role. Have you considered specific ways to reform rather than remove your role?” | 28 |

| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “On the impact, we have talked about rural and more deprived areas. Is there evidence that that is happening in those particular areas, as we know they are the areas that are going to struggle?” | 35 |
| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “I want to talk more specifically about the listed places of worship grant scheme. Becky, we know it has been effective for the sector, but following the cap on grants for individual churches, what kinds of projects will the scheme no longer be able to fund?” | 46 |

| 15 Jul 2025 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594) “I will declare an interest: I managed a cultural asset—a grade II* listed mill—during my sabbatical years before I was re-elected. I am not going to speak about my woes and challenges, which I very much recognise from your answers. Josh, how will the removal of Theatres Trust as a statutory planning consultee impact yo…” | 59 |
