Speeches by Jarvis.

“The Government’s cuts to the winter fuel payment was estimated to have impacted 16,766 pensioners in my constituency, so I welcome today’s U-turn. Those affected include my constituent Chrissy, who was just above the threshold and now has the added fear that she will lose her personal independence payments. Does the Mi…”

“I am thinking about under-represented groups. In your written evidence, Peter, you said that councils could deliver targeted programmes to improve access to sport for all. What would you like to see rolled out to increase inclusivity across the country? What impact will local government reorganisation have on that?”

“Robert, you said that sport has a responsibility. What lessons can be learned from examples such as Everton FC’s community foundation’s “The People’s Place”? What could other clubs be doing?”

“Huw, how best can we tackle drop-out rates—especially for women and girls, who generally have a higher drop-out rate?”

“I am incredibly grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for South Devon (Caroline Voaden) for securing this important debate. Dementia care is in crisis. One in six hospital beds is currently occupied by someone with dementia, and by 2040 it is estimated that the figure will be one in four hospital beds. We need the Gove…”

“I welcome the Bill as an important first step towards a more accountable criminal justice system—one that reflects the needs and voices of survivors of crime. Too often, victims have been let down by a system that fails to grasp their trauma and recognise their experiences. They are expected to navigate an underfunded …”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this vital debate. It is imperative that we get the Bill right and that the protections and procedures are watertight. I thank my constituents on both sides of the debate who have written to me. I support amendment 4, tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Harrogate a…”

“As the Minister is aware, my constituent Gary Webster has had to live with HIV and hepatitis C since being given infected blood as a pupil at Treloar’s. Gary’s health is failing fast and he fears that he will not live to see compensation. Will the Minister give Gary and the other surviving Treloar’s boys any reassuranc…”

“My constituent John wrote to me to highlight the slow and weak internet connectivity in Boyatt Wood. Meanwhile, constituents who live in the centre of Eastleigh regularly struggle to get online. Does the Minister agree that all my constituents deserve access to fast and reliable broadband? What assurances can he give t…”

“Marit, would you like to add anything?”

“Mark, you mentioned artists who have backed the £1 donation idea, including Katy Perry, Coldplay and Pulp. What has been the result of these donations?”

“In terms of what we are looking at this year we have heard that a lot of grassroots music venues are going to close this year. I suppose what we are saying is the reforms are happening too late.”

“Treasury did not change the £110,000 total cap on retail hospitality and leisure relief. This means if your gross business rate was £275,000 or above, your relief has not changed. But if your gross rate was, for example, £24,000, your relief has almost been cut in half. Why was the £110,000 limit not reduced alongside …”

“On the issue of business rates, last year Government tapered down business rate relief for venues from 75% to 40%. Are you not concerned that with councils now faced with passing on the relief reduction or offering relief for themselves, you have created a postcode lottery for grassroots music venues?”

“Marit and Joff, do you think fan support for the levy is sustainable given the cost of living crisis?”
