Speeches by Wheeler.

“A recently elected Reform councillor in my constituency believes that the best way to regenerate Eccles, which he described as a problem area, is to turn it into the UK’s Dubai. It might surprise him to learn that the council has already brought the town centre into public hands and, during the consultation, not one si…”

“I completely accept and understand that. I was going to ask you to compare us to members of the public, but if it is requester-blind, that would not necessarily be possible. More widely, are there any particular trends across the whole of the piece that you have observed in terms of use of FOI?”

“How has the ICO observed FOI requests being used by MPs? Have there been any particular noticeable trends over the period of time?”

“We are seeing what appears to be an increased use of AI, for both asking and answering WPQs. From your work across FOI, have you seen any evidence of AI being used by people to access the system in relation to FOI requests?”

“T9. This Labour Government have ensured that, as of this month, workers in Worsley and Eccles and across the country get sick pay from day one, including low-paid workers. As chair of the USDAW parliamentary group, and having campaigned for this, I welcome this so much. Does the Chancellor agree that it is only Labour,…”

“I strongly welcome the steps that the Government have taken to bring down my constituents’ energy bills from the start of this month. However, the effects of the war in Iran are now beginning to feed through into higher food prices. Pressures on oil and fertiliser costs are likely to intensify, and I am concerned about…”

“2. What steps she has taken to help support people with the cost of living in Worsley and Eccles constituency.”

“You both alluded to the issue and potential reasons for it, but we have obviously seen a significant increase in the total number of WPQs submitted in this parliamentary Session compared with recent Sessions. I invite you to go a little further on what you think the reasons behind that are.”

“To press a little further, I accept that those might be part of it, but we are looking at a comparison over time. In this Session, we saw an uptick in WPQs as we got into it, rather than at the beginning, which might run counter to the point about asking questions of the new Government. I also would gently push the vie…”

“T3. I welcome the upcoming drop next week in the energy price cap, which I know will help my constituents. With the Government’s focus on the cost of living, we are all concerned that events in the middle east will trigger a price shock in the market, making that work more difficult. Can the Minister outline what furth…”

“9. What fiscal steps she has taken to help reduce the cost of living for families.”

“While cost of living pressures are affecting people across my constituency of Worsley and Eccles, young families face a perfect storm. Whether it is housing costs, expensive childcare or student loans, many young families are struggling, and research shows that the cost of living crisis is holding people back from even…”

“In my constituency of Worsley and Eccles, residents of Peel Green and the surrounding area, including the enthusiastic pupils of Salford City academy, are looking to get their hands on the Pride in Place money. What steps are the Government taking to ensure that they are at the forefront, they take the lead, and they d…”

“I think it will come as no surprise to my hon. Friend that I do agree with him, and I will be making that very call. We are in a good place when it comes to the development of alternatives. I therefore welcome the publication of the Government’s “Replacing animals in science” strategy in November.”
