Speeches by Munt.

“At the end of October 2013, I led a debate on the regulation of jam, which caused a bit of a stir. It rightly warned of the end of the British breakfast as we know it. Thirteen years later, I have returned to discuss marmalade. Last July, a lady called Vivien Lloyd, who inspired the debate about jam, returned to see me…”

“I thank the Minister enormously for her explanation, and I am pleased that there is no intention to damage our trade in any way. We should boost trade of this well-known product with its unique qualities. My constituent would be particularly concerned about the level of sugar. I know I have asked some detailed question…”

“I apologise, Madam Deputy Speaker. I acknowledge the commitment shown by the wife of the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Adam Jogee) to marmalade. The critical thing is that it is made from citrus. I have been to Fortnum & Mason—I will probably have to apologise to them tomorrow morning—and seen strawberry ma…”

“I am trying so hard to avoid more references to Paddington, but you are quite right.”

“From you?”

“That is absolutely fine; I accept that. How do you make the Law Society behave?”

“Yes, but your job is to regulate the regulators.”

“Do you feel you have the powers and expertise to influence the improvement of services? If 12% of firms are not being open and transparent, and you are asking and asking them to do so but absolutely nothing is happening, then I sense that you do not have the power, but I might be wrong.”

“But that was clearly a four-year period of utter mayhem for everybody.”

“Good afternoon. My name is Tessa Munt. I am the Member of Parliament for Wells and Mendip Hills. I am also a director and a vice-chair of WhistleblowersUK, which is a not-for-profit organisation, and vice-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on penal affairs.”

“Who takes precedence? Who is right?”
