Speeches by Campbell.

“It was identified as needing updating 10 years ago.”

“You and the DWI disagree on how far in advance the issues at Pembury could have been foreseen. You claim that between 1 and 15 November the treatment works were operating normally, but the DWI states that there had been clear signals from as early as 9 November. Do you think that the DWI is wrong?”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for Farnham and Bordon (Gregory Stafford) on bringing forward this debate. This Government have set forward an ambitious plan to reform the SEND system in the SEND White Paper. I am proud of the commitment that the Government have made to ensuring that children with SEND are supported to …”

“Many residents in Beeston Rylands in my constituency have contacted me about the infrequency and unreliability of buses serving their area. This particularly affects elderly residents, as bus services can be a lifeline for that community. Will the Minister outline how the Government are working with regional mayors suc…”

“7. What steps she is taking with local authorities to help improve local bus services.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Efford. I rise to speak to new clause 6, which seeks to appoint a national veterans commissioner for England. Although the hon. Member for South Northamptonshire has raised important issues about the needs of our veterans, it appears that the role of the national veter…”

“Thank you for being with us today. We talked a bit about this in relation to the previous question, but how do you think clause 25 of the Bill will improve victims’ experience of the service justice system?”

“Just thinking about the pre-application consultation for planning applications, our data shows that almost 78% of them were agreed to the deadlines, which is an improvement on last year, but it is actually down from 2015-16. Is this purely because of resources and resource constraints?”

“Could you just talk us through a little how you envisage choosing and working with trusted partners? For example, if you were working with the National Trust, the charity itself may be under-resourced. How do you see that working?”

“You talked about it being a trial. Do you have a start and end time, and will you then be able to measure what impact that has had?”

“Can you give us an example of the type of information they would be given that they were not given before?”

“Thank you both for being here today. You touched on this a little earlier, but will the Defence Housing Service be subject to the same local planning authority processes as other developers, and will this differ in the devolved Administrations?”

“If you will not be using the same processes that an ordinary developer would use for building homes, how will we know that the standards are the same? Local authorities are notoriously slow, but they do ensure that homes are built to a certain standard, including affordability, energy efficiency and all the other thing…”

“Just thinking about resources and the capacity for managing threats, DEFRA has a broad portfolio across emergency responses. Could you tell us a little about what resources are available for emergency responses, including environmental recovery from CBRN events?”

“I am particularly interested in flooding. I want to ask you about the major capital commitment in flood defences that you are currently overseeing. By the end of this month, you will be able to better protect 52,000 properties, and an additional 14,500 properties are expected to have better levels of protection. Can yo…”

“It looks as if there is a lot of contingency planning. How prepared is DEFRA to manage or handle concurrent emergencies?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford South (Jas Athwal) for securing this debate. The University of Nottingham is on my doorstep, so many graduates who make their home in Beeston and Bramcote in my constituency. One of my constituents said: “My salary i…”

“Thinking about potential poor practice, some of that might be because of the level of knowledge. What do you think can be done to promote awareness among employees about the opportunities of this Covenant? What more can be done? How do we raise awareness and boost knowledge?”

“Thank you very much for coming and for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. We really do appreciate it. Thinking about when the Covenant has been implemented, you have touched on this, but how do you think Government Departments and the public sector or delivery bodies can be held accountable for the way th…”

“Thinking about the extensions in social care, employment support or SEND childcare, what do you think has the most potential to deliver for serving personnel, their families and veterans?”
