Speeches by Onn.

“We have also had trusted privilege, as a House, in the past; we were able to see secure information and secure documents. All of us were able to go to a room and sign in to read documents on exiting the European Union, for example. There are ways and means of doing these things, and of placing trust in elected represen…”

“The latest NHS statistics show that the Government really have the bit between their teeth as 7,000 more children saw a dentist in 2024-25 than in the previous year in the Humber and North Yorkshire integrated care board area. However, the rate for adults has slipped from 43% to 41% over the same period. How quickly do…”

“13. What assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of access to NHS dental services in Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes constituency.”

“T6. Will the Minister give his backing to the brilliant volunteers of Friends of the Barton Line in their quest to reduce the number of unnecessary cancellations on the Barton line by East Midlands Railway?”

“I thank the Minister for taking the time before Christmas to talk to me about my constituent Jamie Nolan, who sadly lost his life last October, aged 17, when his vehicle left a rural road in the dark. His parents, Sam and Paul, are obviously devastated, but they are really keen to make sure things improve for other fam…”

“Members might ask, “What has Grimsby got to do with Grangemouth?” Well, this is great news for Grangemouth, but I am afraid it will be cold comfort to the workers at the Prax Lindsey oil refinery, where 400 directly employed people have already lost or will lose their jobs by March, along with hundreds more in the supp…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Turner, and I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Andrew Lewin) for securing this important debate. Grassroots sport offers so much to so many across my constituency. Whether it is personal fitness, social interaction or a chance to emulate a sporti…”

“Thank you, Sir Edward. I will not take up much time. Over 6,500 of my constituents signed the petition. Clearly, there is a great deal of angst and concern around the proposals, and it is imperative that the Minister address the concerns that have been laid out. While I welcome initiatives to stop illegal working and w…”

“I will not give way—I am sorry. There is also real interest in how personal data would be protected. Trust is very fragile when it comes to digital systems, so can the Minister give clarity that any digital ID would come with the strongest safeguards, transparent oversight and guarantees that data cannot be misused or …”

“Five members of staff from Jhoots pharmacy in Laceby Road have been to see me. They have been going into work, but they have not been paid since July. It is absolutely appalling. Can the Minister set out what pressure he and the Department can bring to bear on this chain, which has now unfortunately closed its doors fo…”

“It is a privilege to speak in this very important debate, and I thank the hon. Member for Mid Sussex (Alison Bennett) for securing it. I am the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on kinship care and have lived experience of kinship care, so I know how significant this discussion is for families across the count…”

“Why? Why is that happening? Why do they do that? I wanted to come in also because you were talking earlier about journalists perhaps not being fully informed enough to be able to rebut some of the claims, particularly if you get somebody who is putting forward quite wild suggestions—that they do not have enough time to…”

“It sounds a bit conspiracy theorist.”

“Earlier in the evidence session you were saying about information being selective, incomplete, misleading. To what end? What is the purpose behind that misinformation? What do the individuals who do that gain from it in your view or is it unintentional?”

“Yes.”

“I do not think that is true. I genuinely do not think that is true, I have to say. I think that was a piece of information that has stuck with people.”

“I think we have answered that question, to be honest. If we can move on to the other points.”

“It is a paraphrase of what people—”

“Thank you. I wondered if part of the problem with the Climate Change Committee—not only the fact that it has “climate change” in the title—is it is seen as being a bit preachy. When it came out with its first report it basically told people, “You can’t eat burgers”—there are lots of things that you do in your normal li…”

“We are talking about a positive there, aren’t we, Chair? We are imposing positive benefits, not negative.”
