Speeches by Jarvis.

“I absolutely agree. The situation is wrong in principle and damaging in practice. Military and civilian compensation should be treated the same. The Government should amend the legislation and guidance, so that military compensation is fully disregarded in means-tested benefits, and so that there is national consistenc…”

“I thank the hon. and learned Member for his intervention. For the most seriously injured, integrated personal commissioning for veterans can be transformative, but eligibility is too narrow; it excludes those injured before 2010 and those in residential care. The Royal British Legion is pushing the Government to increa…”

“I absolutely agree. More also needs to be done for unpaid carers and to fight the stigma around mental health, as more than half of veterans say that they have had a mental health problem and 60% say that they find it hard to speak up about mental health issues. We also need better recording of veterans’ physical and m…”

“T8. Many young care leavers living in supported housing want to increase their hours at work but find themselves caught in the benefits trap. YMCA Eastleigh tells me that this is impacting care leavers in my constituency. What recent discussions has the Minister had with Cabinet colleagues on reforms to the tax and ben…”

“14. What recent progress he has made on the infected blood compensation scheme.”

“Many survivors of the infected blood scandal and bereaved families are still waiting far too long for compensation. They include my constituents, the family of Kevin Newman, who was infected with HIV and hepatitis C while a pupil at Treloar’s college and tragically died in 2018. The family received their first payment …”

“My constituent Mark Houghton MBE served his country in the British Army for more than 20 years. In February, while working abroad, he was seriously injured in an accident that has left him unable to walk. Mark is now back in the UK and receiving treatment, but he is not currently entitled to any further support because…”

“My constituent waited 18 months to face her abuser in court, only to be told the day before the trial was supposed to begin that it had been postponed until May 2026. How are victims of domestic abuse supposed to get redress and closure when they face such intolerable delays?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Allin-Khan. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on behalf of parents from Eastleigh. I frequently hear from constituents who are exhausted emotionally, financially and physically by a system that too often feels like an adversarial battle. Alex, who is a police …”

“Recently, A. C. Models in my constituency was targeted by a series of thefts that cost the owners, Annette and Clive, thousands of pounds, yet the shoplifter was ordered to pay them just £240 in compensation. With retail losses due to theft at record highs, what measures are the Government taking to support small busin…”

“Later this month, ITV will be broadcasting a dramatisation of the phone hacking scandal starring David Tennant and called “The Hack”. Over the last 10 years, the Labour party in opposition repeatedly promised victims of phone hacking and other press intrusions that you would introduce independent regulation for newspap…”

“What would you like to see happen to the sites?”

“Good morning to you both. First, I would like to ask you about Pontins. What discussions has DCMS had with Pontins, or its parent company Britannia Hotels, about the future of the holiday parks that have been shuttered?”

“Two weeks ago, the No. 61 bus made its final journey—yet another bus service my constituents relied on has been lost, with no apparent thought given to how people are supposed to get to work, school, college or hospital appointments, or simply from A to B. The withdrawal of the 61, which took residents directly to Winc…”

“On 10 July, your 6 o’clock news programme, watched by an average 3.3 million viewers, featured a package covering the Government’s announcement of a one in, one out migrant deal with France. The package included a segment of footage of Farage discussing the issue from a boat in the English channel, and the footage was …”

“Mr Davie, we have spoken about impartiality in political coverage. Turning to domestic political coverage, in recent months the BBC featured Nigel Farage’s speech on asylum policy at the top of its website for an entire day. It published endless comment pieces on the rise of Reform, and even claimed that coming third i…”

“Are there equivalent plans to win the trust of supporters of other parties, including those worried by the disproportionate coverage that the BBC is giving to Reform?”

“You said a short while ago that you are worried about where we are in the UK. Would you accept that by giving undue prominence to one political party with a hyper-focus on divisive issues, the BBC is fuelling a toxic debate?”

“I am not saying that, but I think it is really important that we hold everybody to account. Also, with your journalists holding people to account, I would say that there has been criticism in the past that, for example, Laura Kuenssberg has given quite soft interviews to the leader of Reform. Would you say that is true…”

“The hospitality industry in Eastleigh contributes £113 million every year, generates £56 million in economic value, employs 1,805 people and sustains 84 pubs, cafés, restaurants and hotels. My constituent Lorraine, the landlady of the Master Builder pub in West End, saw her wage bill rise by £1,500 compared with the sa…”
