Speeches by Campbell.

“My hon. Friend rightly draws attention to the fact that the Government have delivered justice for members of the former British Coal pension scheme. I thank him for the role he played in the campaign to persuade the Government to do that. He may wish to raise his question directly with Ministers at Energy Security and …”

“I will do so, not least because, as the hon. Lady points out, wherever such developments are happening across the country, people are able to benefit from them. I know that my constituents were able to benefit from such a project, so I will seek to do as she asks.”

“The North sea is a critical asset and the Government understand the vital role it will play in the future. It is Britain’s greatest asset in building our energy future. It gives Scotland and the rest of Britain the chance to lead in offshore wind, carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen, alongside oil and gas producti…”

“First, may I say that my thoughts are with the friends and families of the young people who have died and others who are currently unwell as a result of the meningitis outbreak in Kent? I also place on record our tribute to Phil Woolas, who was a greatly respected and admired colleague and played a considerable role in…”

“The business for the week commencing 23 March will include: Monday 23 March—Consideration of Lords amendments to the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, followed by consideration of Lords amendments to the National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill. Tuesday 24 March—Opposition day (20th allotted day). …”

“I thank my hon. Friend for raising that matter, which has been raised consistently by all parties across the House. The Government understand the importance of face-to-face banking services, which is why we are committed to the roll-out of at least 350 banking hubs, more than 210 of which are already open. I will ensur…”

“I will. It is unacceptable that Nicola had to wait so long for the surgery that she needed, and I am sorry to hear of her family and friends’ tragic loss. We have committed to renewing the women’s health strategy to tackle inequalities and improve access to healthcare for women across England, and support groups such a…”

“I will certainly give that consideration, and I join my hon. Friend in encouraging Members to pick up some Denby pottery. This is a crisis situation for the company, and I know that it will be a difficult period ahead—we should consider doing anything that we can do to help. The Government recognise that energy prices …”

“First, as I said in my earlier remarks, our thoughts are with the friends and families of the young people who tragically died, but also with others who are currently unwell. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right about the importance of the UKHSA. It is monitoring the situation and has launched a targeted vaccination …”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her question. As she notes, amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill have been considered by the House of Lords. The Government will consider them as we move forward. I will announce future business in the House in the usual way, but I am absolutely conscious of the importance of providing s…”

“I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his clarification on this matter, and I am more than happy to speak to him afterwards about it. On the statements that my hon. Friend condemns, the Prime Minister was absolutely clear yesterday that those statements from the Opposition spokesperson were utterly appalling and will onl…”

“On early notice of Backbench time, I will certainly bear in mind what the hon. Gentleman says, and I thank him for the work of his Committee. He will appreciate, however, that as we approach—and it is no secret—the end of this Session, over the next few weeks things such as Lords amendments will tend to dominate. It is…”

“I thank the right hon. Lady for raising this question, because Members who write to Ministers do so with the reasonable expectation that they will receive a timely and substantive response from a Minister, and that is absolutely right. If she has a specific example to draw to my attention, I will raise that with the ap…”

“I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend: businesses like Cockney’s are a valuable part of England’s local and cultural heritage, and we must do all we can to support our traditional high street businesses. Although it might look as if mine is a double order, I confess that, in reality, it is not. The Government are comm…”

“Ministers are working hard on what is a sensitive Bill in many ways, and we will bring it forward in due course. If the hon. Lady seeks an update from the relevant Minister, I will get her one.”

“I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend: flexible co-working spaces play a vital role in high street regeneration, which is a priority for this Government. I would be happy to help her to arrange a meeting with the relevant Minister to discuss that should she wish. If she sought to secure a Westminster Hall debate on th…”

“I do not agree that it makes a mockery of the devolution agenda. It is about getting local decisions made on behalf of local people. It is important that we recognise regional and local identity. Should the hon. Gentleman seek a meeting with a Minister, I will help him to arrange it.”

“I send my best wishes to Joff and congratulate him on the money that he has raised so far. We are investing in MND research across all areas, including causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, but I will assist my hon. Friend in getting the meeting he seeks.”

“The hon. Gentleman is absolutely committed to defending freedom of religion and belief for all, and so are this Government. It is our firm belief that every Nigerian should be able to practise their faith or belief in safety, free from fear and persecution. I commend the hon. Gentleman’s dedication in consistently rais…”

“My hon. Friend will know that the FOI Act sets out the requirements for public bodies to release that information, so I am disappointed that he needs to bring this matter to the House today. I will ensure that his concerns are raised with the relevant body.”
