Speeches by Buckley.

“Sold out I think is the phrase.”

“I was interested in your comments about the land use framework and that connection to the future farming strategy. That is another area, isn’t it, where we have seen increased investment but unfortunately that limited impact on the ground in terms of nature protection? Do you feel that the Government have unrealistical…”

“T6. Will the Secretary of State join me in thanking staff at the Royal Shrewsbury hospital for their commitment and patience over the past two years as we have seen our trust move from being the worst hospital in the country to the most improved? Thanks in no small part to the investment through the hospitals transform…”

“I welcome the additional £13 million in the multi-annual commitment for bus funding for Shropshire through the local authority bus grant. That will greatly improve connectivity for my constituents in Shrewsbury, who have missed out over the last decade, in which our bus services were depleted by 65%. Ministers will be …”

“15. What steps she is taking to help improve local bus services in rural areas.”

“Your first set of examples are individualised and completely randomised and dispersed. The second set are geographically larger groups of people. In one moment, you can hit thousands of people who are all agreeing with each other. If you needed to retrofit, they all live in one space in similar types of homes and so on…”

“I have a very quick comment on your previous discussion around the communications. I was really interested, Mr Park, when you mentioned the timeliness of change. If we are asking at the wrong moment, it is not convenient and consumers are not really open to the change. I wondered whether the opposite is also true. This…”

“There are lots of promises there, and a really exciting report.”

“You are hyping this report.”

“The carbon budget and growth delivery plan also assumes that wider factors and these cascade effects will themselves contribute almost 125 million tonnes of reductions over that carbon period. Is that a realistic assumption? What cascade effects will have the most significant impact on emissions?”

“Ms Pinchbeck, will it help address one of those barriers around costs?”

“What more do you want to see? What is the missing piece?”

“Just following on from that, the former Government’s delivery plan for previous carbon budgets resulted in a High Court ruling that deemed it unlawful and inadequate. Does the current Government’s response to your advice to date, including the recent carbon budget and growth delivery plan, give you confidence that the …”

“We are aware that you have repeatedly pushed on that electricity price, so I am sure that you are pleased to see not just the 150, but also addressing that imbalance between electricity and gas.”

“I want to flip that. We are trying to think about how this would affect different Departments of the Government. You touched on potential alignment, which could be an outcome, but not necessarily if you are just exchanging data. There is also a business opportunity around how that affects exports and imports, and obvio…”

“It is interesting to hear that you talked about alignment, about enforcement, and you also talked about data sharing. I am sure if you followed the earlier pitches today, each of the different areas that we have explored all asked: what is happening in the other countries? How do we compare to the EU? It feels like tha…”

“They usually work in partnership. They design, plan and they bring a committee together every three months to look at it and bring in the police, the ambulance, the fire to ask if they are on the right track. I suppose the missing bit is that they might not be doing this complex multifaceted planning. They are thinking…”

“Back in the olden days I used to work in a council, a couple of different councils, and we always had the emergency planning team, and then it became a person and they had a plan and they were part of a network across the country of other such people. Is there any reason why that person, team, plan could not be trained…”

“By support, you mean that they need adequate resourcing in order to deliver efficiently?”

“That is very clear. We can make sure that that recommendation gets through to Government today, based on your advice. I have a final question, and then we will all wrap up in time for votes. Dr Megson, the Government have announced, through the environmental improvement plan, that a PFAS plan will come out in the new y…”
