Speeches by Ellis.

“I am the MP for Ribble Valley in Lancashire.”

“What reforms do you think need to be made to mobile home legislation so that there can be a working relationship for both site owners and park home owners?”

“We heard earlier about the relationship between landlords and renters. Within the relationship between site owners and park home owners, what role do those site owners take in terms of supporting home owners with energy improvements and living? How does that tend to work? We have talked about rogue site owners, so do y…”

“Debbie, you represent park home site owners. In the previous panel, we heard from Sonia McColl who represents people who own homes on park home sites. One of the interesting things she said was that there has not actually been much positive engagement with site owners. Can you tell me a bit about how you and your membe…”

“I had a constituent who was refused a mortgage because she had a park home for over-50s. I wonder whether, in all the work you have done, there have been issues about older people accessing mortgages, and how that impacts the market or people accessing homes.”

“You have cited some poor behaviours and management practices, and obviously there are still issues with the annual fees. There are recommendations from the university report in 2022, so it is fair to say that this issue is still live. Do you feel that the Government are taking these issues seriously enough, or is there…”

“You have made some positive suggestions. You mentioned that there are some positive site owners out there. In Ribble Valley we have quite a number of park homes, and I have met residents and site owners. Some owners have put representations to me, saying that certain sites have changed hands a number of times because i…”

“Sonia, can you tell us a little about your campaign and the key issues that you have been trying to raise?”

“Finally, what do you think the impact on the industry would be if that 10% was reduced or removed?”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for the work we are doing together on the all-party parliamentary group for infant feeding and for her passion in this space. Breastfeeding is a full-time job. Only last week, Carrie Johnson, the wife of one of our former Prime Ministers, highlighted how easy it is to neglect your own n…”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“May I first pay tribute to the Prime Minister and the Business Secretary, along with many others, for leading from the front on the importance of their role as fathers? I truly believe that paternity leave is the single most important area where the Government can improve the lives of families and women, too. I hope th…”

“Would you agree that, as much as we have to tackle some of the underlying racism, we also have to tackle the underlying frustration and rage that gets channelled into that violence?”

“Maya Ellis, Ribble Valley.”

“I am Maya Ellis. I am the Labour MP for Ribble Valley in Lancashire.”

“I want to pick up on a point, Jabeer, that you raised that I found interesting around male violence and the role of that in these riots. I do not expect a scientific answer to this question, but I want to get a sense of what proportion you feel was the male violence as opposed to racism. Do you think it is 50:50 in ter…”

“Do you think racism is a starting point and then there is male violence that drives that? I am interested because you described, Carrie, earlier about the frustration and I wondered to what extent we feel that there is that frustration and rage and it could channel through any route. It could be racism, but it could be…”

“Thank you very much for coming in today. You will have heard some of the responses so far and I know that you have all done a lot of work and research in this space. As an opening question I would like to hear from you: how do you think we are doing when it comes to social cohesion in the UK? How are we performing?”

“I am interested in how you think we are doing and performing, as it stands at the moment, in terms of community cohesion in the UK.”

“Sara Khan, to you: I suspect that we will have a theme that there has been lots of reports and lots of things that have been recommended and not happened. I know that you did one last year, so I am interested to see what you think has come out of that, if anything. But if we are not moving on, what do you think the blo…”
