Speeches by Fortune.

“I want to pick up on the conversation earlier about being able to locate charging points. Have any conversations been had by commercial developers and, I guess, local authorities with car manufacturers—especially manufacturers of sat-navs and in-house navigation systems—so that cars are pre-loaded with both the locatio…”

“Range anxiety.”

“Chair, for the record, I love Scotland as well—I do not want to be misrepresented.”

“That may cause some delay in the programme, as there is an ontological view of what the local authorities are and where their boundaries are.”

“Are there any bumps in the road—sorry, I will stop now—with the local authority White Paper and some of the changes that are coming along? Will that affect any delivery or roll-out?”

“I guess what I am driving at—excuse the pun—is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this. Local authorities are being spoken to, and there are bespoke models being prepared.”

“Sorry, I came into the meeting a bit late, so you may have touched on this, and I apologise, Chair, if that is the case. We have been talking about supporting local authorities with delivery. What sort of things are you doing specifically to support local authorities and to adapt to different needs? I was interested to…”

“To build on that, once the LEVI funding comes to an end, what plans, if any, are there to provide ongoing support?”

“T4. Following the Grenfell tragedy, the residents of Northpoint in my constituency have had to pay charges of nearly £700,000 for a waking watch, fire wardens and alarms. Given the Government’s manifesto commitment to better protect leaseholders from costs, what steps can the Minister take to help my constituents with …”

“16. What diplomatic steps he is taking to help counter potential threats to global stability by Iran.”

“With the re-election of President Trump in the US, we are likely to see a return to his policy of maximum pressure to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. What is the Secretary of State’s view on that approach? Will the Government support our allies in the United States of America?”

“I have been busy looking at the increase in police officers, then looking at the trials and convictions. If you look at something like murder convictions, the numbers of police officers and the numbers of cases, which have gone up, do not really pull through to an increase in convictions. I am picking one area as an ex…”

“I have been looking at some of the data on this. The infrastructure failings within the courts really are an issue, are they not? If we look at the data today, we see that 103 out of the 516 Crown court courtrooms are not sitting—that is about 20%—and Nottingham has just closed for the day because of health and safety,…”

“I guess people would consider it axiomatic that if you get more police officers, you will get more cases going through the court. I do not want to stand on Clive’s toes, but when you have these new police officers coming in, what kind of cases are you expecting them to deliver to the Crown court?”

“Well, the figures speak for themselves. As was highlighted by my hon. Friend the Member for West Suffolk (Nick Timothy), who has morphed into a Whip at the moment, English schools have soared up the rankings. If we look at the recent PISA league tables, we see that English education is now ranked seventh-best for maths…”

“As has been highlighted on the Opposition Benches, English education has been a success story. We have trusted schools to get on with the job, and academies and new free schools enjoy the freedom to run themselves, pay their teachers more and improve their curriculum. Ending central Government and local government micr…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight East (Joe Robertson) for bringing forward the debate. I want to speak about the impact that the jobs tax will have on my community. One excellent charity working in my constituency of Bromley and Biggin Hill is South East London Mind. It faces a £190,000 increase in i…”

“I would imagine that Camden would want control of it because it is right in the heart of the borough. I will tell you what made me think of it. I just recalled a leaked report about the state of Euston underground station, which I think was in November. It talked about the fact that it would need a rebuild, which is wh…”

“Again, I am very familiar with these models, having worked with and tried to unwrap some of the challenges around the LLDC site. I know Mark will be sighted on some of the complexities and difficulties that can throw up, and also how that might delay any progress, especially in negotiations with Camden.”

“I apologise for my ignorance here. If land has been acquired by a CPO for a project that it is then subsequently not used for, are there any limits or rules on what can be done with any profits that come out of that?”
