Speeches by Glindon.

“Further to the concerns raised by the hon. Member for Brigg and Immingham (Martin Vickers), will the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero make a statement on the delayed hydrogen strategy refresh? Projects in my constituency, including the Lhyfe Wallsend development, are ready to move forward but face gr…”

“Allocation round 7 was a resounding vote of confidence from developers, and our supply chains will welcome that. At a roundtable I hosted last year, the Secretary of State set out the innovative principles behind the clean industry bonus. However, competing against lower-cost regions, such as the middle east, remains a…”

“You have not said where you would like the debate to be—in Westminster Hall, where it would be on a Tuesday or Thursday, or in the main Chamber. If it is on a Tuesday in Westminster Hall, that is fine. But if it is for the main Chamber, you would need three more Opposition Members on your application.”

“11. What discussions he has had with private sector representatives on securing investment in clean energy industries.”

“I commend my hon. Friend for all her work as part of the APPG on smoking and health and in her former role as a councillor. Does she find it as shocking as I do that four in 10 adult smokers in this country believe vaping to be as harmful or more harmful than smoking, when it is one of the most effective tools to help …”

“I welcome the Minister to her place and congratulate her on her new role. She has a hard act to follow, but I am sure she will be brilliant in her job. Could she say what metrics the Government will use to measure whether the Bill successfully reduces youth vaping?”

“A local pharmacy has contacted me regarding the need for a fast resolution to this year’s settlement negotiations. The pharmacy’s leadership tells me that their wage, pension and national insurance costs will increase substantially in April, and as a result they are planning to reduce opening hours and make staff redun…”

“Thank you. On your application, you have only four Government Bank Benchers, and we need seven for a debate in the Chamber. Do you think you would be able to get the additional three names?”

“No.”

“I declare an interest: I am a member of the all-party parliamentary beer group.”

“Hi, Susan. There has already been a debate on the Nolan principles in this Session of Parliament. To have another debate on the same topic, you would need to provide a substantive motion. Are you happy to do that?”

“I am very sorry to hear about the mother of my hon. Friend the Member for Worcester (Tom Collins). This is a topic of deep personal importance to me, to many of us in the Chamber and to many of our constituents, but it took a private Member’s Bill on assisted dying to bring the debate on palliative care into the foregr…”

“At a time when the UK is increasingly dependent on and exposed to internationally traded LNG, does delaying the oil and gas price mechanism not risk reducing investment in domestic supply exactly when global markets are least stable?”

“Do I have to declare that I am a member of the all-party parliamentary group on fire safety and rescue?”

“Over recent weeks, students and graduates have written to me about the broken student loans system. They tell me about the mental stress caused by punitive interest rates, and that the planned freeze of the repayment threshold will impact their living standards when they aspire to earn more and spend more in the local …”

“Following on from what the Chair said, Sarah and Sam, the Foreign Affairs Committee has also applied for a debate on the spending of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Do you think your debates could be combined, or do you think your International Development Committee requires a separate debate?”

“Leaseholders in Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend contact me regularly about extortionate service charges, saying that tribunals are slow and stressful and that, ultimately, they feel powerless. The Minister for Housing and Planning has previously set out that retaining variable charges is important, so that necess…”

“2. What steps he is taking to reform service charges for leaseholders.”

“Rising employer contributions to the teachers’ pension scheme are mounting significant pressures on post-1992 universities and driving some to cut costs to deliver the same teaching. I have been contacted by staff at Northumbria University who are concerned about the proposed changes to their pay and pension provision.…”

“This one might be a bit easier. The Committee has enough Tuesday applications on its waiting list to last until May at the earliest. You are usually happy to accept debates in Westminster Hall on a Thursday. Is there a reason why it could not be on a Thursday?”
