Speeches by Glindon.

“Welcome, everyone. This is to all of you, so I hope everyone gets a chance to answer. What support did you receive from the House administration after the last election when you came into post?”

“The volume of emails and casework received after the election has been consistently raised as being overwhelming to Members and staff. What was your experience, and what further support could be given in this area?”

“We usually ask for a minimum of 15 signatures for a Chamber debate, and you have 14. Could you get another?”

“Well, one will do, so if you could get that, it would be really helpful. You mentioned that September is Sepsis Awareness Month, and we have a long waiting list for Chamber debates. If necessary, and if possible, would you consider Westminster Hall?”

“You have indicated that you would like either a Chamber debate, which would be on a Thursday, or a Westminster Hall debate on a Tuesday. Would you also consider a Thursday in Westminster Hall if you wanted to have the debate sooner?”

“Yesterday we had the AGM of the all-party parliamentary group for the British offshore energy industry, of which the hon. Lady is a member, and I hope that the hon. Member for Aberdeen South (Douglas Lumsden) will join us on it. Does she agree that the effect of these job losses is nationwide—not just in Scotland but a…”

“Thank you for being so agreeable.”

“Given the very short timeframe until your preferred date, would you be willing to accept a debate in Westminster Hall?”

“Thank you for bringing this application. I have constituents who sadly have the disease. Debate titles need to relate directly to areas of Government responsibility, so would you be content with a redraft to, say, “Government support for the Lobular Moon Shot Project”? You could still raise the life and work of Dr Susa…”

“My constituent Abdul faced three on-the-day cancellations of his asylum interview because of challenges securing an interpreter. He then had a fourth interview, in his second language, in which he is not proficient. He is now appealing his decision on the basis that he was unable to answer questions to the best of his …”

“I thank my constituency neighbour for her statement. Does she agree with me that devolved authorities, such as the North East combined authority, have the local knowledge to inspire, support, drive and encourage innovation and growth in places such as our very own Tyneside?”

“You touched on a pool of temporary staff for new Members. First of all, would you have used it? Would you have wanted somebody dedicated to you or someone you could share? What kind of things would you have wanted that person to be able to help you with? Could you have worked with them remotely, or would you have neede…”

“Good morning, both. You touched on this a tiny bit in some of the excellent responses that you have given. IPSA and some MPs have suggested a temporary pool of staff that could help new Members before they recruit their own staff. Would either of you have used this?”

“If there was this pool of staff, would they have to be from the same political party as you? Would you be happy to share a member of staff in that situation—temporary staff—or would you want a dedicated member of staff? How would that have worked?”

“If there was this pool of staff, would they have to be from the same political party as you? Would you be happy to share a member of staff in that situation—temporary staff—or would you want a dedicated member of staff? How would that have worked?”

“Practically, would you be happy for them to work remotely or in a shared office space with you and perhaps other Members? Is that very important?”

“The north-east has the highest number of young people not in education, employment or training anywhere in the country—64,000 in total. I recently joined the Centre for Social Justice and Fenwick Newcastle for a “Big Listen”, with 120 employers and frontline charities all committed to tackling the crisis. The CSJ will …”
