28 Apr 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1225)

Is there a single global leader who does have this high on their radar?

So you think it is primarily a lack of focus and interest.

28 Apr 2026Park Home Owners

Thank you, Sir Alec. I will press on, but the hon. Member is absolutely right and has touched on some issues that I will talk about. I congratulate him on ensuring his residents got their money back. Most concerning, and often alluded to by MPs, is the imbalance of power. A park home resident may own the home they live

This question may be more for Cynthia. Thinking about displaced people, because obviously millions of people have been displaced within Nigeria as well, what work has been done to understand the impact of that and its potential to further undermine stability within the region?

Minister, you are describing something that you have not been happy with, and you do not think was working. When do you think you will be in a place where you will be sat in front of us saying that the new structure and community approach are sufficiently developed, and that the idea of wasting money on centrally manag

I will quickly go to two areas: disability and gender mainstreaming. That decision has been taken, and I think that is happening in Nigeria. To what extent are you concerned that funding reductions will impact those two areas—gender and disability?

28 Apr 2026Park Home Owners

I thank hon. Members for joining the debate. We have covered the whole country—from the south coast all the way up to parts of northern England and to Northern Ireland, which of course has slightly different legislative foundations—and I am really pleased there has been such strong representation. I thank the Minister

I trust that the Minister and his team will do exactly that. This is not just about the 10% sales commission; there are broader issues impacting park home residents. I will come on to those matters shortly. Let me say two important things. First, mobile homes can be a very good housing option. They typically offer peop

Absolutely. I am sure that we will talk a lot about the 10% sales commission, but the hon. Member is right to raise it early on. I am pleased that the Minister leading on the reforms is here. I am sure that he will be listening closely to what Members have to say today. Wherever they are located, mobile home sites are

With your Africa Minister hat on, what needs to change to unlock that international effort?

Are you saying, Minister, that we will not know the baseline from which to do a true equalities impact assessment across both local and central programming, because of the way work has historically been commissioned?

28 Apr 2026Park Home Owners

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The consultation is being run for a reason. I encourage anyone watching the debate or emailing their MPs about it to go further and engage with the consultation, because I am sure that the Minister is looking forward to review those responses.

I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to place a duty on local authorities in England to produce and maintain local area energy plans; to make provision about the content of those plans and limitations on that content; and for connected purposes. I am proud that before coming to this place I worked in t

A lot of what you are describing is what is happening within the boundaries of the Sahel and so on. What is missing at the international level for the international community to be able to get a grip on this issue? What would you like to see?
