Speeches by Glindon.

“Jim, you have not specified the Department that you would like. Stoma care would come under DHSC, but public toilets would be the responsibility of MHCLG. Which of those would you like to answer?”

“Thank you, Dawn. Have you considered bringing forward for this year’s debate a motion with a list of asks for the Government?”

“The Secretary of State said that the evidence shows that the vast majority of 1950s-born women already knew that the state pension age was increasing. I, like my hon. Friend the Member for Blaydon and Consett (Liz Twist), am also a 1950s-born woman. Does the Secretary of State honestly think there would have been such …”

“You have applied for a Westminster Hall debate on a Tuesday. The waiting list for Tuesdays is much longer than the one for Thursdays, so would you consider a Thursday debate if one was available?”

“Q7. I welcome the Prime Minister’s leadership and our Government’s clear commitment to tackling child poverty, recognising that high-quality education is one of the best routes out of poverty. However, young people in one of the most deprived areas of my constituency who are attending Churchill community college have b…”

“And you would be happy to wait.”

“Hi, Pippa. At the moment, we have 19 applications waiting on our list for a Chamber debate. That is likely to take us near the summer recess. Would you consider an earlier debate in Westminster Hall?”

“It mentions that this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day carries particularly significance in your application, but have you considered bringing forward a substantive motion with a list of actions that you would like the Government to take from the debate?”

“It is from the Clerks actually. I will not take any credit.”

“Debate titles must be worded as neutrally as possible; would you be content with “Effectiveness of Magnitsky-style sanctions for serious human rights abuses”?”

“You have indicated that 21 Members would like to speak in this debate. Is 90 minutes in Westminster Hall on a Tuesday morning enough?”

“I declare an interest as I have signed the application.”

“What consideration can the Minister give to the regulator’s having Crown status, rather than making it a non-Crown status body, which civil servants are concerned will mean they risk losing their entitlements and access to the civil service pension?”

“Thanks, Wendy. With regard to Westminster Hall debates, Tuesday has an even longer waiting list than the Chamber. Is there any reason why you wouldn’t consider a Thursday in Westminster Hall?”

“I just wonder when you would like the debate to take place. The Committee currently has 15 debates waiting for time in the main Chamber. For you, the wait might be until shortly before the Easter recess. Are you willing to wait?”

“I welcome a number of the announcements in the Chancellor’s Budget addressing the issues affecting my constituents’ lives. Despite the challenging headwinds facing the Exchequer, the Chancellor decided to protect the £120 billion of additional capital investment she set out at the spending review and introduced measure…”

“On the point about gathering more supporters for the debate, the Committee asks for four Back Benchers from the Government side to support Westminster Hall debates. You have only three on the application. Do you think you could find another one to support this debate?”

“I have visited Frankland and Durham jail. The police officers there showed us hundreds of examples of the kind of weaponry that is put together by the very clever inmates, which looked lethal. You said that it was 2010 when sadly your constituent suffered that horrendous injury. You will be aware of the House’s sub jud…”

“You have used it.”

“Sorry—I do not know that I have time to give way. Too many people want to speak. A framework would drive faster diagnosis and treatment, boost access to multidisciplinary teams and improve secondary prevention. I urge the Minister to consider introducing a framework for neurology in the Government’s first wave of natio…”
