Speeches by Naish.

“I am a member of a new combined authority in the east midlands and there was no referendum on that. I do not believe that there was a referendum on the North Yorkshire combined authority either. Does my hon. Friend agree that there are different ways of engaging on this issue, and that putting councils with local repre…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her work chairing the two all-party groups. My constituent Janet contacted me about her son Richard, who was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome six months ago. He is still waiting for a proper referral. Does my hon. Friend agree that an early pathway is vital, and would she encourage the…”

“There were 868 cases of fly-tipping in 2023-24 in my constituency. We saw a particular rise in on-street fly-tipping, and in Nottingham there were over 30,000 incidents of fly-tipping within the urban space. What work will be done to help bolster the power of local authorities to make sure that both urban and rural fly…”

“I wish to present this local petition on behalf of my constituents in Rushcliffe, who have signed it to signal their desire for the centre of West Bridgford to have a dedicated Changing Places facility. As debates in this House have repeatedly noted, Changing Places facilities are a highly valued initiative. They give …”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“This January, Centrica said this regarding Rough, the largest gas storage facility in the UK: “If Rough had been operating at full capacity in recent years”— which was a decision that was not taken in 2017— “it would have saved UK households £100 from both their gas and their electricity bills”. So does the hon. Lady a…”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“As someone who has actually worked in this industry, I appreciate a lot of what the Minister is saying. I have also noticed the gap in the narrative coming from the Opposition, because it was in 2017 that Theresa May’s Government took the decision to close the gas storage facilities that would have helped with a lot of…”

“T2. The University of Nottingham announced last week that it is closing 16 courses as part of cost-saving measures due to limited research income making these courses less financially viable. What steps is the Secretary of State taking to ensure that her huge research and development budget gets to frontline institutio…”

“At the end of August in Nottinghamshire, where I am a Member of Parliament, the leader of the county council banned the Nottingham Post and Nottinghamshire Live from speaking to him and his local authority, representing a dangerous moment where local accountability was not being adequately recognised. Will the Minister…”

“The sad reality is that a lot of people living in park homes, including on the site that I was out on, have been there for 30 years-plus. Selling is something that they are actively thinking about. I really do not want this Parliament to wait, but I understand the pressure and the demand for time in both Chambers. We w…”

“I was here last week as well.”

“I do. Thank you very much. Sir Bernard Jenkin made representations.”

“I think MHCLG would be the best respondent. I think there are broader issues that other Departments would no doubt have a view on, but certainly the respondents to questions from MPs on this issue to date have largely been from MHCLG.”

“I suspect most of you have.”

“It is a pleasure to be here, in front of the Committee. One of the things that I have tried to do as a Member of Parliament is find a couple of issues in which small changes can make a big difference to a large number of people, so I have done a lot of work for the Hongkonger community. The second area, which I have be…”

“It is estimated that 11.7 million civilians have been forcibly displaced. Of those, 840,000 are in Chad, which of course has its own issues. What support is being provided to Chad and neighbouring countries that are housing refugees from Sudan?”

“My hon. and learned Friend has listed a number of very good examples of what has been achieved as a result of the ECHR. Does he agree that we need to work together to highlight its benefits, as opposed to seeking to tear it down or tear it apart?”

“rose—”

“The East Midlands freeport is split over three sites at Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, East Midlands airport and the Toyota site near Derby. The freeport is unusual in being split over multiple sites, but it carries about £160 million-worth of tax incentives with a view to sparking the local economy. There are some p…”
