15 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

Do you think it should be changed? If you have a heritage listed status building yet the organisation or whatever is within it is of cultural or of social good, should there be some leniency with regards to protecting that building? If the windows need doing or the roof needs replacing, does it have to come at such a c

15 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

On the impact, we have talked about rural and more deprived areas. Is there evidence that that is happening in those particular areas, as we know they are the areas that are going to struggle?

I want to talk more specifically about the listed places of worship grant scheme. Becky, we know it has been effective for the sector, but following the cap on grants for individual churches, what kinds of projects will the scheme no longer be able to fund?

Emily, obviously, the scheme’s cap has affected churches currently undertaking projects. What is the impact of that?

I will declare an interest: I managed a cultural asset—a grade II* listed mill—during my sabbatical years before I was re-elected. I am not going to speak about my woes and challenges, which I very much recognise from your answers. Josh, how will the removal of Theatres Trust as a statutory planning consultee impact yo

Why do you think that is?

Michael, you wanted to follow on from that.

15 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

No, exactly. Josh, you mentioned that Sport England is advocating for a more refined consultee role. Have you considered specific ways to reform rather than remove your role?

15 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

We are talking about the Theatres Trust but, as Michael has alluded to, this applies to the whole of the creative and cultural sector.

15 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 594)

We will look forward to receiving that. The Government are proposing this because of councils’ and developers’ frustrations with the consultee system. What other improvements can be made? Have you any further suggestions?

14 Jul 2025 West Coast Main Line

I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate; I too travel on the west coast main line. Does he agree that there is a common public misconception that HS2 was just about faster train journeys to London, when in reality it was about capacity issues? Does he also agree that the project should have started in

13 Jul 2025 Future of the Post Office

I welcome the Minister’s statement, and the announcement of a national dialogue about the future of our Post Office. As a fellow Co-operative party Member, I welcome the model of mutualisation, which would also suit our local branch. Given the decline of Leigh’s high street, the announcement of changes to our main post

Baroness Vadera, how did you decide on the four frontier industries specifically?

Caroline, do you think that there are any subsectors that could have had a strong case to be a frontier industry?

Will you limit it to four?
