Speeches by Glindon.

“I add my condolences to the shadow Leader of the House. Polly Pocket is still going today—my granddaughter is a Polly Pocket fan, and my daughter still has all of hers. Will the Leader of the House join me in congratulating North Tyneside council, the Football Foundation, the Rugby Football League and other key partner…”

“I would like to declare that I am Chair of the all-party parliamentary group on Parkinson’s. My name is not on the list for this debate.”

“I will reserve my opinion.”

“I declare my interest as a vice-chair of the APPG.”

“With the town’s access to the world’s biggest offshore wind farm, a cluster of advanced manufacturing firms and an expanding energy skills academy, more of Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend’s potential is yet to be tapped. What discussions is the Minister having with the Energy Secretary to ensure that the investme…”

“7. What steps she is taking to encourage investment in Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend constituency.”

“It is an honour to speak in this debate under your chairmanship, Mrs Lewell-Buck. I congratulate the hon. Member for Brigg and Immingham (Martin Vickers) on securing this Backbench Business debate and I thank our colleagues on the Backbench Business Committee for granting it. Along with other colleagues here in Westmin…”

“5. When she expects the Equality and Human Rights Commission to publish its revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations.”

“The Government have recognised that there was confusion or a lack of awareness about the same-sex exceptions in the Equality Act 2010 and how to apply them practice, so does the Minister agree that the updated EHRC statutory code is needed as soon as possible to make it explicitly clear that the Act provides for single…”

“On that high note, will my hon. Friend also commend North Tyneside council, which for the second consecutive time has been awarded “outstanding” for children’s services by Ofsted on all five counts? The council says: “From an ‘exceptional’ early help service…through to a ‘meaningful’ support offer for care leavers”— ch…”

“21. What recent progress she has made on planning reform.”

“A constituent of mine is endeavouring to prevent her neighbour from building an extension that would affect the rights of access set out in her restrictive covenant. She was initially quoted £80,000 to £100,000 to take the neighbour to court. Such costs make civil law inaccessible to ordinary people. Will the Minister …”

“The Israeli Government have stated that Israel’s presence in the Golan heights buffer zone is defensive, limited and temporary. Given that the Israeli Cabinet has recently approved a financial package to increase the number of illegal settlements in the Golan heights, what assessment has the Secretary of State made of …”

“The number of survivors of historical abuse at Medomsley detention centre is decreasing. Victims are seeking justice for the serious and widespread abuse that took place between 1961 and 1987. Will the Leader of the House help me secure a meeting with the Home Secretary to discuss how the survivors, as well as the fami…”

“Jim, you mentioned that the Minister would be Andrew Gwynne.”

“I think the Bill is on for quite a few weeks, Chair.”

“The reason I ask is that I think the Tobacco and Vapes Bill Committee starts in our first week back, so I just wonder whether the Minister will be available. Do you know what happens in those instances, Chair?”

“I thank Mr Speaker for granting time for a debate on court delays and victims of sexual violence. I do not underestimate the challenges that the Minister faces. As I will hopefully draw attention to this evening, the task at hand is considerable, but overturning this situation is owed to survivors. This topic is emotiv…”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for that intervention. I think we will hear something from the Minister on what the Government intend to do and what we will hopefully get somewhere down the road. These are women and girls who are sitting at the feet of trauma. Survivors face the enormous challenge of having to relive their …”

“I hope that the review that will take place will look at everything and cover every aspect. I believe its aim is to be comprehensive and to bring justice and fairness to everybody involved in the system. It is imperative that attention is drawn to the nature of postponements, which bear down on the already fragile ment…”
