Speeches by Buckley.

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

“Do you feel there is enough resource to fulfil these additional requirements to find the evidence?”

“Is that a key recommendation to keep working at that more localised level so that we do get those nuances?”

“If we were trying to translate that to somebody who is not a specialist, would you say that you are talking about more localised parts of the map—drilling down to that smaller detail in the geographic space?”

“Last weekend in my constituency, our Shrewsbury Moves festival celebrated progress towards our 10-year plan to implement more inclusive and integrated public transport across our beautiful medieval town. What additional transport is the Department making available to historic and economically thriving towns such as Shr…”

“T1. If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.”

“I have just explained that it was 12,000 lower since the start of the previous Government, so by the hon. Gentleman’s own admission, presumably that is a catastrophic failure. So let us support our farmers to deliver their high-quality food to high environmental and welfare standards into more markets, such as by the G…”

“That is most interesting. That is exactly the direction of travel—to make farming more productive and profitable, we must embrace innovation. Let us take support measures, such as the Government’s new procurement policy to “back British farming” from DEFRA, which will promise that 50% of public-funded catering must com…”

“I am grateful to be able to contribute to this debate, given that I have 350 farmers in my constituency of Shrewsbury, which is famous for its food and drink sector, and not least for the nation’s favourite market. Shropshire overall has more farm holdings than any other county in the UK. I am very proud of some of our…”

“Will the Minister outline what steps the Department is taking to help increase trade with the Asia Pacific, and in particular the Philippines, where a major local company in my constituency, Beaver Bridges, is hoping to expand and grow significantly, with the trade support of this Government?”

“I am proud to represent historic Shrewsbury, with our grade II listed building, but it is currently not being used to its full potential as the gateway to our magnificent town. Will the Leader of the House ask the Secretary of State for Transport to make a statement about ensuring that the transition to Great British R…”

“If you have any specific recommendations in that area, now would be a good time to mention them.”

“You are saying those intermediary organisations have taken on that role. I am just wondering about your demographic. In other areas where we are moving to a digital age, there are some older, more traditional workers who may not find it so easy to access. Have you noticed any issues there?”

“We were briefed about some of those—the remote electronic monitoring, the on-vessel monitoring systems. They sound quite a modern way forward using the apps and trying to tap into GPS. Perhaps some of those are more affordable than the previous alternatives. It sounds like quite a positive way forward. How easy is it f…”

“I associate myself with the remarks of my hon. Friend the Member for Telford (Shaun Davies), my constituency neighbour in Shropshire, in welcoming today’s much-needed funding announcement, in particular the structural reforms to increase capacity. In Shrewsbury we currently have no working magistrates court, despite be…”

“If you would not mind writing to this Committee with a list of the areas where you think those gaps are, it would be incredibly helpful to us.”

“Could I just pick up on that? I was really interested in your previous answer. You explained the Trimpley savings account as a rainy day account to avoid the volatility of bill increases, and yet the 47% increase that you are describing is the highest increase of any water company in the UK. Why did you not use your ra…”
