Speeches by Jarvis.

“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?”

“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…”

“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 …”

“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?”

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

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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 …”

“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…”

“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?”

“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?”

“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…”

“I think that, just because of timing and everything, it is not going to work out. All right—thank you very much.”

“I am glad that the debate is happening. Obviously, it is very important to me and my constituents in Eastleigh, because it is a railway town, so I am glad that there will be the opportunity to speak in that debate. I am happy to withdraw this one.”

“Okay. I feel that that kind of negates my one. Never mind.”

“And are they doing the 200th anniversary?”

“It will affect it. Who put that forward? I have had a lot of cross-party support for my application, including from the Chair of the Transport Committee and the Member for Stockton West, which was the home of the first railway.”

“Oh, I did not know that.”

“T10. My constituents who have fled Hong Kong are deeply worried about the silencing of democratic voices there and the uncertainty that the proposed change to indefinite leave to remain creates for their long-term security here in the UK. What steps are the Government taking to hold to account those responsible for the…”
