Speeches by Riddell-Carpenter.

“Just to pick up on Tim’s point, the legacy of foot and mouth is felt keenly in Suffolk as well. I know there is a lot of nervousness about what we are seeing in Europe at the moment. Katrina, you just mentioned the recent Hungarian outbreak. I want to pick up on that in a bit more detail. How was that different in term…”

“It went from days down to—”

“Would you do the same exercise again of writing to DEFRA with your feedback from the Hungarian outbreak? Not to give you all the credit—”

“It sounds like that feedback is clearly valued, and I am sure there are still lessons to be learned from the most recent outbreak.”

“Would you be able to share your feedback from the Hungarian outbreak with us as a Committee? We have had detailed feedback from others as well about the Germany outbreak.”

“That is true for the last four years, correct?”

“Have you been aware of that yourself?”

“That is true for the last four years, correct?”

“Have you been aware of that yourself?”

“That is interesting. Nigel, would you like to add anything on that from your perspective?”

“You say you are attempting to feed that back, but you are not finding it easy to.”

“Thank you. Sally, on broader plant disease outbreaks, what is your assessment of some of the most recent responses to disease and plant outbreaks?”

“Should we be concerned that with that underspend, investment is not happening to the critical infrastructure?”

“I wonder if the hon. Gentleman rolls out that line to every Member. I am actually talking about the SSSIs and the energy infrastructure, rather than housing. The sites that I speak of—the SSSIs and the natural landscapes—are not only recognised by but critical for this Government if we are to deliver on our ambitions t…”

“I put on record my strong support for the Bill. I want to focus much of my contribution today on two aspects—nature recovery and electricity infrastructure. Net zero and nature are two sides of the same coin, and it would be a coin with no value if we had one without the other. The proposed environmental delivery plans…”

“T5. Will the Minister provide an update on the JobsPlus pilot and what assessment has been given to its future roll-out, including widening it to include Suffolk Coastal?”
