Speeches by Whitby.

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Derby South (Baggy Shanker) and the hon. Member for Newton Abbot (Martin Wrigley) for securing this debate. The RAC estimates that 14.5 million drivers will receive a parking fine this year. That is more than one in thre…”

“Football is the beautiful game, and it is truly the world’s game. For a century or so, the game had an ever-changing churn of clubs having periods of success. The game was not totally dominated by money, though money has always been a factor. With the inception of the premier league, quite literally the game changed. I…”

“Going back to the overseas territories, in terms of marine protection, which overseas territory is the Government’s highest concern and what is being done to make it less concerning?”

“How are you ensuring that environmental obligations from international treaties, or targets such as 30 by 30, are on course to being delivered? I am happy with whoever answers.”

“More than half the countries that have submitted UN biodiversity plans have not yet released plans for how they will protect 30% of land and sea for nature, despite agreeing to do so at COP15. What steps are the Government taking to ensure more countries develop plans to protect at least 30% of land and sea?”

“6. What steps her Department is taking to tackle violence against shop workers.”

“On Friday I visited the central Co-op in Ashbourne, which recently experienced an armed robbery.

What action are the Government taking to stop violence against shop workers, especially in rural areas…”

“Talking of the EU, are we considering following them by increasing our targets for NO2 and PM2.5? If not, how can we encourage the Government to raise air quality standards or how can you encourage them?”

“Secretary of State, the latest OEP report showed slowing progress on EIP air quality targets, despite some previous advances. We are going to miss the NO2 target, according to the report. What do we need to do to get back on track with this and how is DEFRA working with other Departments and industry to turn the curve?”

“You may have partly answered this one, but the Department for Transport and the Department of Health have promised a new air quality strategy. DEFRA is the lead Department for that. What progress has been made, and will the strategy include funding for local authority measures?”

“Unfortunately, people in my constituency are aware of the risks, I am afraid. How is air quality enforcement being achieved now that we have left the European Union?”

“Enforcement, yes.”

“I am extremely pleased to be able to take part in today’s debate, and I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Whitehaven and Workington (Josh MacAlister) for bringing forward the Bill.

“My question is for Mr Villemot and it is about engaging local communities in marine governance. First of all, what would be the benefits of that engagement, and how effectively are local communities engaged currently?”

“Wonderful, thank you.”

“I was going to ask what more could be done to facilitate community-led marine restoration, but I think you have just answered that pretty much, haven’t you? Is that fair to say?”
