Speeches by Stone.

“5. If the Attorney General will meet the hon. Member for Swindon North to discuss prosecutions by the Crown Prosecution Service under section 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act 1988.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her response. Harry Parker was 14 years old when he got run over. The person who took his life did not have a driving licence or any insurance, and did not stop, yet last November the charges were dropped. This is partially down to section 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Will my hon. Friend…”

“I also think it is a really important debate. Obviously, I can come along to the debate, but I would want to talk about the future need for quarries. When we are seeing some of the largest housing developers, such as Vistry, going towards timber framing, which is going to require fewer quarries, is there scope to discu…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. I thank all the petitioners and the people of Swindon North who have signed it, as well as the growing number of citizens across the UK who believe that dogs should not be used in science. We are a country of animal lovers; we love our dogs; and we are going pa…”

“Just the one. You are slightly short on Opposition Members.”

“You only have one Lib Dem. Who is your second?”

“I thank the hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam (Luke Taylor) for bringing forward this debate. I am a little surprised that there are only 10 things he hates about Thames Water; my list is significantly longer. It is a really important debate. I wanted to come into it with a balanced view, and not just slate Thames Water…”

“This is really important, so thank you for bringing it forward. It is not a criticism, but I think you put forward the debate about men’s mental health, for which we had a shameful turnout. What are you going to do differently to ensure all these people do show up to this debate? I know that it was not your fault.”

“Thank you for bringing it forward. It is really important.”

“I thank the hon. Member for Hinckley and Bosworth (Dr Evans) for his thoughtful contribution. I put on the record my thanks to my local Royal British Legion branch in Lower Stratton, and to Pallbearer Jeff, who is an amazing guy. I want to talk about why the Royal British Legion is important, as opposed to what it does…”

“12. What steps she is taking to support the proposed railway line between Swindon and Oxford.”

“Over the past decade, we have seen uncertainty in the rail sector. Will the Minister please reassure me that she will be taking decisions differently, to focus on delivery, especially on links such as Swindon to Oxford?”

“When is the review set to take place? Presumably you want to have the debate beforehand, so you can feed into it.”

“It will not be beforehand, then, but as close to the review as possible.”

“Just to clarify, is there a timeframe in which you want this debate to happen so that MPs can have the chance to feed into the report? When is that?”

“It might be worth going for Westminster Hall in that case, because we could guarantee you a slot and we could guarantee you a longer slot as well, because you could take two sessions. That is just something for you to consider for yourself.”

“Will the Minister please outline how this Government will support young disabled people to have a positive engagement with the benefit system alongside work?”

“1. What assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of recent trends in levels of disability living allowance cases that have been incorrectly reduced to a lower rate without an explanation.”

“I thank the Minister for her response. Would she consider meeting me so that we can work together on growing IOTs like Swindon, especially given their degree-awarding powers?”

“8. What recent progress she has made on determining the future of the institutes of technology.”
