Speeches by Buckley.

“I agree that all measures that can prevent collisions, injuries and deaths should be explored. Prevention is often not only better but cheaper than dealing with the consequences of doing nothing. Research from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has shown that young drivers have poorer visual awareness. T…”

“I agree, and it is absolutely excellent to hear of any support for families who have been bereaved as a result of a collision. That can be used to educate others, so that we can try to prevent accidents in the future. I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention. However, a majority of drivers wrongly assume that ur…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. I think we are going to be hearing lots of suggestions today about all the measures that could help prevent such tragedies, because each death is an avoidable tragedy that freezes these young people in time, forever prevented from growing up to fulfil their full potential. H…”

“I will not. Such a device can smash the window or cut the seatbelt in case of emergency. We could call it Harvey’s hammer, in memory of one young man from Shrewsbury whose legacy has brought us all here today.”

“What role can the UK play in international climate action now that President Trump has once again pulled the US out of the Paris agreement?”

“Is it an opportunity for closer alignment on some of our environmental standards?”

“In the absence of the US, if China takes a more prominent role, what scope is there for constructive UK collaboration with China to achieve good climate outcomes for the UK?”

“What are your international climate leadership priorities between now and COP30 in Brazil and how do you plan to achieve them?”

“We will come on to some more detailed questions on that. It sounds like an ambitious agenda for the next COP and you will need some support on that. Will you commit to including parliamentarians from relevant Select Committees in the UK delegation to COP30?”

“Turning to the EU, the UK has an obligation to co-operate with the EU on climate and trade and on international negotiations. What work are you doing to work with the EU to push that forward on these shared international climate objectives?”

“Does the Minister agree that it is vital that we embrace the Bill in order to protect those everyday constituents such as mine in Shrewsbury, for whom flooding has moved from a once-in-100-years event to a regular misery each year, as they pay the human cost of climate change?”

“I congratulate the Minister on her sterling work to tackle this minefield of rogue companies who abuse the good will of residents when installing energy saving measures, by scamming them with substandard products and damaging their homes. Will she work with colleagues in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local G…”

“Yourself, Dr Sayers, anything further about new builds and the grey infrastructure whether it is suitable?”

“Excellent. We will come on to both SuDS and green in just a second. We will come back to yourself, Professor Hall, and you have somewhat answered it with your schedule 3 plea, but is there anything else you would like to say about whether grey flooding resilience is fully integrated into the planning system in terms of…”

“Excellent. I am sorry to rush but we are running out of time. Could I ask you, Professor McDonagh, do you feel that grey flooding infrastructure is used effectively and maintained specifically coastal areas?”

“Sorry to rush you; we are just running out of time. Do you mean a shared strategic plan or that they align their separate ones?”

“Do we have a unanimous panel on recommending schedule 3? Thank you.”

“What do you think we should do? How could we enforce these private owners?”

“Thank you, it is very helpful. The same to yourself, Professor Hall.”

“Excellent. That is a perfect segue into the question I am about to ask you, which is looking at the grey infrastructure and those grey assets. You talked about my constituency in Shrewsbury. We are a historic river town. We have Victorian infrastructure that was not built for the volume of houses that we have. We are r…”
