Speeches by Buckley.

“Are you suggesting a higher level for the credits on smaller sites as an incentive?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Edward. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Hertford and Stortford (Josh Dean) for securing this vital debate. My concern for Shrewsbury also focuses on educational opportunities for 16 to 18-year-olds, in terms of both funding and geographical access. My local p…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that private parking firms are running a racket in this country by adding debt recovery fees on top of already expensive parking fines? Will he join me in urging the Minister to bring forward the new regulatory code as soon as possible and ensure that it includes the ability to prevent the add…”

“Royal Shrewsbury hospital in my constituency was delighted to receive a £450,000 investment for solar panels, which will see our local trust save more than £1 million by reducing its energy bills in the lifetime of the project. Will the Secretary of State join me in celebrating this excellent start to our nationalised …”

“Minsterley village has recently seen its rural outreach post office service withdrawn with just two days’ notice. The unplanned closure affects three villages. No explanation or consultation was given to residents, the postmaster, the council or the three Members of Parliament, in clear breach of the principles of enga…”

“I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for your excellent chairmanship. Our important Bill has not just banned bonuses, but introduced criminal liability, which will mean that, finally, chief executives and senior leadership figures can end up in prison for up to two years. We have also introduced mandatory electronic sens…”

“I thank the Liberal Democrats for securing this important debate. They are asking the Government today for three key commitments: to take urgent action to end the sewage scandal; to provide greater protection against sewage dumping; and to ensure that the public know when rivers are clean and safe. I have some great ne…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for his amusing intervention, but more important is the measure in the 2025 Act that bans bonuses when the high standards of our environmental protections are not met.”

“Forgive me, but I must make some progress. We have also forced the water companies to deliver on their five-year investment plans for sustainable urban drainage to rectify the inadequate infrastructure, which has not kept pace with capacity over the past 30 years. In Shropshire, which I represent, that means an additio…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Hobhouse. I congratulate the hon. Member for Didcot and Wantage (Olly Glover) on securing this vital debate. I am a member of the all-party parliamentary group for cycling and walking, which he chairs. Cycling is a key priority for my constituency of Shrewsbury, wh…”

“I will start with you, Olivia Thomas. How can the Government’s current approach to marine planning be improved to achieve that balance between the social, economic and environmental demands that we have touched on?”

“That is helpful for us as a Committee trying to find those pathways forward to try to improve this. I think you have already answered the question, Ms Willis, unless you want to add anything further about that balance.”

“For those to cross reference each other before you get into the room would be quite helpful.”

“Thank you. Mr O’Hara, how can we get that balance between the economic, the social and the environmental? What improvements do we need to see? Ronan O’Hara: In Crown Estate Scotland, as a creature of statute, the underpinning legislation requires us to implement and, where possible, advance sustainable development—that…”

“You sound like you are a best practice example that you want your English colleagues to replicate. Ronan O’Hara: It is not for me to say.”

“We have pretty much covered off this next question, but I will just check in with Olivia Thomas. How do the Government work with your organisations to ensure effective marine planning? I know you have talked about the new spatial planning, but is there anything else in there specifically on the planning side that you t…”

“You sound like you are a best practice example that you want your English colleagues to replicate. Ronan O’Hara: It is not for me to say.”

“Thank you. Mr O’Hara, how can we get that balance between the economic, the social and the environmental? What improvements do we need to see?

“For those to cross reference each other before you get into the room would be quite helpful.”

“Is that something you would like to see different Departments of Government do?”
