Speeches by Glindon.

“As well as facing uncertainty about the future of the grant, churches in my constituency are finding it hard to cope with the rise in revenue costs, which include the cost of church insurance. Can my hon. Friend tell us what is being done to support the financial position of English parish churches more generally?”

“4. Whether she has had recent discussions with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on proposals to extend the listed places of worship grant scheme after 2026.”

“3. What assessment he has made of the potential impact of Great British Energy funding on Northern Ireland.”

“I thank the Secretary of State for investing in Battle Hill primary school in the ward in which I live, where I was proud to be a school governor for 20 years. Does she agree that investing in nurseries in deprived areas such as Battle Hill is essential in order to give very young children a good start to their educati…”

“Abandoning the 2050 net zero target shows that the Tory leader has learned nothing from her party’s historic election defeat. Does the Minister agree that Northern Ireland has a huge amount to gain from this Labour Government, working together with the Northern Ireland Executive on the transition to clean power? Will s…”

“It is great to hear what has happened in your constituency. Yesterday at Home Office questions, there were about half a dozen questions on violence on high streets, particularly against shopkeepers and retailers. This would no doubt be a very popular subject. Has anyone mentioned that to you when you have spoken to?”

“T8. During a recent walkabout in Wallsend with Northumbria’s police and crime commissioner, Susan Dungworth, and the North Tyneside cabinet member for community safety, Karen Clark, I heard about how the police, retailers and the council work in partnership to tackle retail crime. However, while larger retailers can pr…”

“As chair of the all-party parliamentary group for responsible vaping, I have followed the progress of the Bill closely. I will speak to new clauses 4, 6, 7 and 15, as well to amendments 36, 37 and 88, all of which stand in my name. I congratulate the Minister on her appointment and on stepping up so wonderfully to help…”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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 …”

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