6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

I appreciate that. That wasn’t my question, though. Do you think it is fair? The evidence we have got is that, potentially, 32% of businesses say their survival is threatened by what happened.

You have got the discretion to make whatever you deem is appropriate, or the company deems appropriate.

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

That wasn’t my question. My question was: do you think it is fair to local businesses?

Your discretion is unfettered, isn’t it? You can make any—

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

So you do not intend to go beyond the GSS and the additional £600,000. Do you think that is fair?

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

The £600,000. So you don’t know what the impact is on businesses, or certainly you don’t recognise the figure provided by the local authority, but you have already arrived at a compensation figure.

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

There will be businesses that think that you are hiding behind the GSS regulations. You have clearly made a determination that GSS is not sufficient, because you have added a discretionary £600,000.

The GSS regulations.

We have seen evidence of a fishmonger who lost £7,000 in stock alone and a nursery that lost £16,000, which is the cost of two free places for a disadvantaged child to attend for a year. So can you come back to the compensation you are providing? You have not worked out what the impact is on business, but you have alre

How much is—

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

We might come back in a moment to whether that is a reasonable assumption to make. Mr Hinton, do you think it is fair? Do you think, when footfall fell by 50% in the town centre, that the compensation you are offering is adequate?

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

We’re sticking to businesses.

6 Jan 2026Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588)

At the moment, you don’t recognise the council’s figure; you don’t recognise the business improvement district’s figure. How many businesses were impacted? I was looking at the GSS numbers and I couldn’t quite understand. Do you know how many businesses were impacted?

Do you have a sense of the financial impact that it had? Can you put a figure on it?

17 Dec 2025Proposed new town in Adlington, Cheshire

I begin by offering my deepest sympathy to the family of Ethan McLeod, who died tragically in a car accident yesterday. He was a brilliant footballer and an inspiration to young people across Macclesfield. I am proud to present to the House a petition signed by 7,200 residents on paper, complemented by a further 11,714

16 Dec 2025Victim Support: Funding

I welcome the increased funding. Victim support and the commissioning of those services is incredibly important, and the operational independence of police and crime commissioners has been invaluable in that regard. What assurances can Ministers provide that, with the abolition of PCCs, victim support will not be led b
