Speeches by Hack.

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Desmond. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Thurrock (Jen Craft) for securing this incredibly important debate. I reiterate her point that we are talking about fundamental communication and giving every person the opportunity to learn and to access all the servi…”

“T8. Rural businesses in North West Leicestershire highlight the lack of accessible public transport, including having no passenger rail, as a barrier to attracting new employees and to growth. What conversations has the Minister had with the Department for Transport about the barriers that rural businesses are facing?”

“It was fantastic to be able to observe the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland resilience forum exercise Operation Mercury, a live emergency services exercise at our local barracks to test the response to a major incident on the M1. Will the Leader of the House join me in thanking Leicestershire Police, Leicestershir…”

“I first want to say how incredible it is that Members are stood here in the Houses of Parliament discussing the mental health of our young people, and I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Redditch (Chris Bloore) for bringing forward such a critical debate. In a previous role on the health scrutiny committee for Leices…”

“Absolutely. The sad fact is that we always talk about teenagers, but if we can give that resilience to children as young as seven to 10, we might be able to prevent them from becoming poorly when they get older. We have to start those conversations as early as possible to build resilience and confidence in our young pe…”

“Two GP practices have told me that they are waiting for section 106 money to be released so that they can improve their facilities, but that it has been stuck between decision-makers. Will the Secretary of State outline how the changes will help to release those kinds of delays and finally allow North West Leicestershi…”

“In terms of how that data is presented, we have obviously heard from previous panels that pension adequacy is going to be a real problem for a number of people who are going to access the dashboard. Has that been understood, about how we present that information in a way in which people can immediately get some support…”

“Thank you. You have brought out the connectivity between a commercial dashboard and how the service that we need to get delivered will interoperate. The challenge going forward: who do you think is going to be responsible to try to bring those parties together? What do we need to do to plan for this market with lots of…”

“Do you anticipate that the commercial dashboards will have real scope to innovate and move the landscape forward?”

“That is useful to hear. With your personal experience from abroad, the previous panel indicated that most people will utilise the commercial dashboards over a period of time. Is that your expectation, that that will be how the market moves?”

“Richard, you have done research on the pension dashboards in other countries. You have mentioned a little bit about the different styles of pensions across those other countries, but are there elements of things that we could learn from them in terms of how they have implemented it and how they have enabled people to t…”

“One of the things that this Committee has looked at is pension adequacy. It is something that we have been focusing on. It was really if there was anything from the international examples about whether or not adequacy changed as engagement with dashboards improved.”

“Before I move on to commercial dashboards, the design standards and how the data will be presented to the consumer, how far along are we in making sure we understand how the data will be presented to the customer?”

“When do you think the commercial dashboards could become available to the general public? What value do you think they will bring to the overall pension dashboard marketplace?”

“Last week, Ashby netball club, in my constituency, completed 75 hours of non-stop netball at Ivanhoe school, a feat that is well worth applauding on its own, but the club also raised £54,000 for Kids’ Village, a charity that provides care and respite holidays for children with critical illnesses. It also broke two worl…”

“I welcome the introduction of this Bill as a clear indication that we are giving apprenticeships the support and recognition they deserve. I started my professional career at a training and enterprise council—a TEC—and, once upon a time, I used to sign off training contracts for apprenticeships. It was always a pleasur…”

“You have covered most of it in Gill’s question, but the New Deal for Disabled People was revolutionary in supporting people back into employment. How do you see that that will progress to make sure that disabled people have access to work in the future?”

“This is to Dr Allsopp. When you appeared last month, you said your team reviewed all policy changes within the disability services area, and that was from a clinical perspective. Is anybody responsible for reviewing changes outside the disability services area from a clinical point of view?”

“Sir Stephen, how do Ministers use the advice provided by the chief medical adviser and her team in policy going forward?”

“If you were due to apply a sanction or a deduction, how would somebody’s vulnerability be included in that decision-making process?”
