Speeches by Glindon.

“11. What steps he is taking to reduce youth homelessness.”

“I declare an interest. As Jonathan knows, I live at the end of Hadrian’s wall in Wallsend and I am also chair of the APPG on Hadrian’s wall, so I have a strong interest.”

“President Trump and envoy Steve Witkoff played an important role in securing the previous ceasefire agreement. At crucial moments, Netanyahu has been receptive to Trump’s wishes; we saw that earlier this year, when Israel and Iran stepped back from the brink. As the White House has a defining role to play here, will th…”

“22. What steps he is taking to help improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.”

“Children are 20% of the population, but 100% of our future. I see that every time I visit a school in Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend. We know that the first few years of a child’s life are crucial, laying the foundation for their overall development. For that reason, I am delighted that Battle Hill primary schoo…”

“2. What steps he has taken with Cabinet colleagues to help increase the number of jobs in supply chains in green industries.”

“The power cables over the Tyne are a barrier to businesses securing work for large renewable energy structures, risking possible net GVA benefits of up to £1.2 billion. It has been proposed that the removal of the cables will be completed in 2032. Will the Secretary of State help me push for it to be brought forward so…”

“My constituent has an active application to bring members of his family, who are currently in a third country, to safety in the UK. The MOD has advised him to assume that their data has been compromised, which is deeply concerning given the nature of the work he used to undertake. He has been told that this third count…”

“Following yesterday’s “Act Now, Change Forever” mass lobby of Parliament, organised by the Climate Coalition, will the Leader of the House make time to debate the serious nature of developing countries’ debt, which prevents those nations from adequately spending to mitigate a climate crisis they have done the least to …”

“Further to the intervention from the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon), does my hon. Friend agree that public awareness is not where it should be? It worries me to see people with their phones sticking out of their back pockets or people standing and taking photographs around Westminster, knowing how high the in…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Salford (Rebecca Long Bailey) for securing this debate from the Backbench Business Committee, of which I am a member, and for her eloquent and informative speech. Financial security is something we endeavour to secure for our families and for ourselves. Many 1950s-born women worked…”

“I am also a member of the APPG.”

“Thank you for putting in for this debate, because I think all of us who were MPs during covid and after have been, at some point, approached by one of the forgotten 3 million, whose campaign has been sustained and still crops up. Each of us will probably get contacted about it if the campaign is granted.”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I congratulate the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) on securing this important debate at short notice from the Backbench Business Committee. I am a member of that Committee but did not take part in the decision on this debate. As ever, the hon. Member…”

“My hon. Friend is giving a marvellous speech. On that subject, will he commend all the veterans’ charities that work across our region and the support provided by volunteers, particularly with mental health and finding homes—all the social issues that affect people who come out of the service back into civvy street? Th…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate and on his fantastic speech. To take a slightly different angle, does he agree that our many cadet units across the region, which are often based in very deprived areas, provide wonderful opportunities for young people to gain many life skills and get high-skilled q…”

“Is this specifically about betting shops, as opposed to the one-armed bandit sort of activity?”

“I have not signed your application, but this was raised with me by an approved doctor. They pointed out the dangers, and how easy it is for people to set up a business doing these procedures. The debate will probably be welcomed by the professionals who are carrying this out properly, as it will alert the public to the…”

“2. What support the Church of England is providing to Christians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

“Thousands of Palestinians, including children, are detained by the Israeli military. Reports of mistreatment and torture date back to UNICEF’s 2013 report on children in Israeli military detention. Last year, the UN special rapporteurs highlighted the escalating use of torture against Palestinian detainees with people …”
