Speeches by Welsh.

“Will the hon. Gentleman give way?”

“In just over a week’s time, the independent review of maternity services at Nottingham university hospitals NHS trust is due to close to new cases. It is the largest review of maternity services in NHS history, with more than 2,300 families now involved. Will the Leader of the House join me in thanking Donna Ockenden, …”

“Is it possible for the hon. Member to highlight what part of the NHS she worked in? The reported experiences of interpretation and translation nationally are very different from what she is describing, which does not reflect the factual accounts and certainly does not reflect what has been happening in Nottinghamshire.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Clapham and Brixton Hill (Bell Ribeiro-Addy) on securing today’s important debate. She has highlighted that black women often receive a worse standard of care and that their risk of maternal death is three times hig…”

“I do not need to tell you this, but obviously the PHSO has a vital role, particularly with regard to health, and the vast majority of the complaints received are health related. As far as I am aware, you do not have any experience of working in the health sector. I wonder how you intend to develop more knowledge in thi…”

“Since the covid-19 pandemic, the PHSO has been experiencing high levels of demand on its service, and this increasingly looks like the organisation’s new normal. How do you intend to go about leading a large organisation with such significant demands on its services while operating in a difficult economic climate? You …”

“Last week, I visited Howgate Close housing development in Eakring in my constituency, and I am proud to say that the homes are the most energy-efficient in the country. It would be easy to assume that houses such as those cost a fortune, but what is remarkable about that development is that they are affordable, includi…”

“10. What plans she has to build more sustainable housing.”

“Too often, in ex-mining communities such as Ollerton and Edwinstowe, in rural communities such as Farnsfield and even in Hucknall West, people struggle to get a phone signal and access to the internet. Constituents feel that they are left behind and miss out on the new and upcoming technologies that we know improve acc…”

“6. What recent progress his Department has made on improving digital inclusion in Sherwood Forest constituency.”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered construction standards for new build homes. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Jardine. It is an honour to hold this debate today on the construction standards for new build homes. I will start by thanking the tradespeople who work in my constituency—the …”

“I thank the hon. Member for his important intervention. I will say more about that later. Over 70% of people in Sherwood Forest own their own home.”

“Over 70% of people in my constituency of Sherwood Forest own their own home, either outright or with a mortgage or loan, and a large proportion of them will be living in a new build home. I know that we need to build more homes across the country and I am proud that this Labour Government are committed to delivering 1.…”

“I thank the hon. Member for her intervention and I completely agree with her point, which my constituents have also raised with me. Homebuyers deserve to feel confident that their new home is safe and will not begin to crumble as soon as the key is in the door. I will refer to the experience of one of my constituents w…”

“I agree completely with the hon. Gentleman. When moving into a new home, a high quality and safe living environment is expected. We should not be expecting anyone to live in properties that do not meet these standards. What has further shocked me about this case is the treatment of my constituents by Harron Homes. In a…”

“I completely agree. I was pleased that the Government announced they are accepting some of the recommendations in the Competition and Markets Authority’s housebuilding market study. I am particularly pleased that we are implementing a statutory UK-wide new homes ombudsman scheme and supporting the development of a volu…”

“I completely agree with that, as somebody who represents a constituency that has a large very rural chunk. With these new builds it is really important that such communities stay connected. Future generations deserve to know that they are buying and/or living in quality homes, whether that is in new social housing, or …”

“I thank all the hon. Members here in Westminster Hall today for their contributions to what I think was a very important debate for us to have. It was very clear from all the contributions, regardless of party, that those buying new homes need better protections. Going forward, however, it is not just those better prot…”

“Q My question is quite straightforward. How much will the Bill save the taxpayer in the welfare fraud space? Andrew Western: In the DWP space, we estimate that the amount would be £1.5 billion over the forecast period. That roughly equates to around £950 million on the eligibility verification measure, with the overwhe…”

“Mine is exactly the same: I am a member of Gedling borough council and Nottinghamshire county council, which have responsibility for administering benefits.”
