Speeches by Blake.

“T10. The Pimlico district heating undertaking was built in 1950, the first ever district heating network in the UK. It used to be cutting edge, but it is in desperate need of replacement, so that my constituents can have heating and hot water. Will the Government work with local authorities such as Labour Westminster c…”

“In addition to trade and the important points that have been made about defence, does my hon. Friend agree that we should also consider a cultural touring agreement? That would support cultural organisations across the country, including the Barbican, the Royal Opera House and those in the west end. Not only would it h…”

“I just wanted to come back to the research that is coming up, because we are all very excited about it. When is it going to be published?”

“That is number three.”

“And number two is due to finish anytime.”

“Is that weeks or months?”

“The third report, which is the people who do not have it, is a few months behind that.”

“Just to recap on the context, to make sure that we are really clear, it will help us understand what I see as the distributional problem that I and Dr Sandher have talked about, in terms of what part of the income distribution this is helping. It does cover that.”

“It addresses the deadweight problem by asking where the money is coming from.”

“Are there any other ways that the research can address the deadweight problem?”

“But it is self-reporting.”

“It is 1,500 people self-reporting.”

“Does it break people down by their current tenure, such as living with parents or being a private renter?”

“Minister, you did give us a hypothetical. I have been resisting asking you hypothetical questions, but you engaged in the hypothetical by talking about lifting the cap. Hypothetically, if we were to find that there was a significant deadweight problem here, what types of changes might be available to this product or to…”

“That is helpful. Just probing on this in terms of supply, you could invest this money in shared ownership. That would have a different impact. I have spent some time, as have the Committee Clerks, trying to find comparative evidence against different products. Shared ownership products are new supply; they incentivise …”

“Just going back to the second piece of research, we have not had any evidence so far that the money that is going into the LISAs is from individuals and not from family members. From the evidence that we have had so far or from HMRC, we do not know whether this is individuals who are able to save or money gathered from…”

“Welcome to the Committee. We have been spending quite a bit of time thinking about ISAs—the cash ISA, the LISA and its role supporting people into home ownership. We wanted to start off by talking about why you might want to change the cash ISA. What incentives or reasons might there be to change the cash ISA at the mo…”

“In terms of the popularity of the cash ISA, is there enough scope within the cash ISA to support home ownership?”

“You talked about how the supply of homes can really help with home ownership. I wanted to come in now to talk about the value for money of the overall product against its stated objective of supporting home ownership. We had some pretty compassionate evidence from some of the providers about the change and transformati…”

“That is a direct, multiple-choice question.”
