Speeches by Onn.

“Humberside police, and the trade unions representing them, have raised concerns about the potential closure of counters under Operation Balance. Further to the Minister’s remarks, can she offer any reassurance to my local community that they will be able to contact local police as and when they need to?”

“My constituent had a dreadful experience following her daughter’s kidnapping and assault. The CPS has admitted that the handling of the case was flawed, including through the failure to offer a victim personal statement and by too readily accepting a plea from the perpetrator, which meant that he got just a 12-month re…”

“Will the Leader of the House please advise me on the best way to get the concerns of Grimsby businesses on Cleethorpe Road considered in detail and perhaps reflected in the Government’s planned high streets strategy? They are facing a severe economic impact from the council’s plans to remove parking for a bus lane that…”

“My hon. Friend mentioned dodgy shops. I have been running a campaign against dodgy vape shops and others on the high street. Safety is so important, and these shops, which sell goods to young people, erode confidence in the high street. Does he agree that commercial landlords must be given more powers so that they can …”

“The hon. Gentleman is setting out really well the challenges that fish and chip shops are facing in this difficult international climate, but there are domestic issues too. North East Lincolnshire council, in my constituency, plans to pedestrianise Cleethorpes marketplace, which the famous Steels Cornerhouse fish and c…”

“The supply of fish is an international business, and it is really complicated. One issue that has been problematic is that, post Brexit, some of our supertrawlers, such as the Kirkella, are no longer able to supply to the UK, which has elevated the cost of this food.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Edward. The proposed changes to ILR and the consultation on earned settlement have far-reaching consequences, so it is essential that they are delivered with fairness and compassion. I support the Government’s mission to restore control of and confidence in the imm…”

“This Government have rightly taken action for Hillsborough victims and sub-postmasters affected by the Post Office scandal, and on the mineworkers’ pension scheme, yet this situation seems to have been put in the “too hard to deal with” box. Why does my right hon. Friend think that these women should accept this outcom…”

“Helen, community energy groups and projects are diverse, to say the least. How do you pick winners as GBE? What are the key criteria?”

“Q12. Sergeant Matthew Telford, Trooper Robert Pearson and Guardsman James “Jimmy” Major, who was aged just 18, were three heroic servicemen from Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes who made the ultimate sacrifice on their tours of Afghanistan. I want to put on the record my condemnation of President Trump’s plain wrong comme…”

“So your priorities are going to be regulatory first, funding second, and personnel third.”

“There is an element of picking winners in that, really. That is fundamentally what GB Energy will be doing. You have a role in delivering that 8 GW.”

“I do not think that you can have three things working in tandem.”

“It really does not fit with what we have just been talking about, so I am sorry. I am going to take you back to the definition of community projects. I am wondering how clarity will be served on what the whole of Government agree is community energy, if there end up being two definitions, one in the national planning f…”

“Level of detail is a very good lead-on to my question. We have been wrestling with the definitions of local energy and community energy. It has been suggested that we need to have that bottomed out. We have a definition of community energy in the national planning framework. It says, “Community-led development. A devel…”

“It is very easy, though, isn’t it, to say, “It’s a local community project”? It just hasn’t happened, and not without all of our best endeavours.”

“Do you agree, Marzia?”

“Is your 8 GW or 1,000 projects target, ambition or aspiration going to be formed of local and community energy?”

“Some of the ways that you could help some of the barriers to developing and delivering community energy have been related to tax, levies, subsidies and policies. Do you have any priorities in any of those areas that you will be focusing on to try to reduce the barriers that communities face? If so, can you list them fr…”

“Have you thought about the split that you envisage happening?”
