Speeches by Kane.

“A teacher in my constituency wrote to me today with concerns about the Bill, pointing out that some MPs will be voting tonight who were born after the Good Friday/Belfast agreement. We need to let that settle for just a moment. The Secretary of State is right to say that this is our last opportunity to get legacy issue…”

“You heard the evidence that we had from the lobby groups earlier in terms of electricity, farmers and the fuel industry. There is an old saying among PR firms, which is, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”. Not in relation to that, but in terms of other lobbying I am hearing around the current geopolitical fuel crisi…”

“The answers have morphed into consumer protection, which was my final question, so I will put the three of you on the spot briefly. This is the Harry Potter magic wand question. If you could change it in an instant, what improved consumer protections would you put in place? I am keeping you to one sentence.”

“Thank you for being here today. I just wanted to share with the Committee an email I have just received from my energy supplier, which says, “Hi”—it is in my wife’s name—“We continually review your account balance and monthly payments to help keep the account on track. Good news. Based on your current usage and a combi…”

“The current system is a quarter of a century out of date, effectively.”

“The Chair and I represent the great city of Manchester, and one of its darkest moments was Salman Abedi’s arena attack in 2017. These provisions are long overdue, and I thank the Minister and the Government for taking this action.”

“The nation should be grateful for this Secretary of State and for what he is doing for maternal services, yet at Wythenshawe hospital in my constituency, the most recent Care Quality Commission report rated maternity services inadequate for safety. What assurances can the Secretary of State give that the improvements t…”

“2. What steps his Department is taking to improve maternity care.”

“The judgment was debated?”

“Why were they not kicked off for interfering with a live incident?”

“Thank you very much for being here today. We are politicians as well. In the 24-hour news cycle, if something kicks off in our constituency, we are often asked to comment straight out of the gate. I had three arrests in my constituency for firearms and drug running yesterday. It is the biggest irritation for us when th…”

“Last time I questioned the Chief Constable, we strayed into the area of the duty of candour for MI5 and MI6. The Government postponed the legislation a day or two later. That could have been a win for parliamentary democracy. We will see what comes back. Davy talked about police stations being not easy on the eye. We h…”

“Do you think members of the board have an idea of their boundaries now when it comes to live incidents? Is it getting better? Is it being addressed?”

“I am sure that the whole House will agree that we could not do our jobs without the hard work and dedication of our staff. Will the Leader of the House join me in commending Mark Grayling, who has been with me for five years, who worked for other MPs before, and who has dedicated his working life to public service and …”

“My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech, and she was an excellent Minister in her own right. Will she join me in paying tribute to Councillor Tommy Judge, who has been the Labour councillor for Sharston ward in my constituency for many years, and who was a victim of the 1974 bus bomb? He is standing down after many …”

“As a former shadow International Development Minister, I know that one issue our nation has not grappled with is that 90% of the usurious levels of debt repayments for the poorest nations across our planet are governed by English law through the City of London. We could raise millions out of poverty without spending a …”
