Speeches by Buckley.

“We heard in a previous panel, on another day, about other types of impact, such as social impacts. You might have a village with one shop or one school, and that whole village then becomes isolated through lack of access to public transport. Do you think that that is another criterion?”

“It has taken you a long time to answer that question. You can understand people’s frustration. Even you took a long time to get to the bottom of who is responsible, who we should contact and who does what, because it is incredibly complicated. That is what residents are telling us every day. We need to tidy that up. My…”

“There is water in my home. There is some coming from a drain and there is some coming from the river next to my home. Who do I call first?”

“I know. I am asking you, as the expert, whether I should call the Environment Agency the next time that happens. Who should I contact?”

“My question is who is responsible.”

“What do you think, Ms Foley?”

“Will the Leader of the House join me in welcoming tomorrow’s launch of the national celebration called Love Your Local Market? It is a two-week campaign where markets upload their details to a map, and we can promote their businesses, food and culture as a key driver of local economic growth, such as my fabulous indoor…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Hobhouse. I thank the hon. Member for Mid Norfolk (George Freeman) for securing this important debate. As the Member for Shrewsbury, flooding is always a priority for me, as it is for my residents, businesses and local services, because our historic town is encircl…”

“Excellent. Thank you.”

“Can I press you on that? I am conscious of the time. Do you have any particular recommendation about how we could help smaller sites if they are struggling with the costs?”

“On the issue of cost, Mr Spearing, could you tell us the financial implications of BNG for developers, and how they are responding?”

“That is a very positive reply. We sometimes hear that this is called a tax on developers. What do you think, Mr Duncan? Is BNG a tax? How do you factor in the price?”

“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.”
