Speeches by Platt.

“You have just touched on something, because, to go back a step, clubs need to know that funding is available. I will give the example of Leigh Boxing: when I first got back into this job, I was absolutely appalled that they were still operating in a shed. They are churning out world champions and countrywide champions,…”

“You have talked about the Movement Fund. What advice do you provide to those who wish to apply for funding about the different types of grants that are available? Concern has come back about not funding the sports clubs’ owners or sportspeople. A lot of time is wasted undoing bids that they are not eligible for. I thin…”

“Hello, Tim. I declare my interest: I was on a panel with you a few weeks back, at the GM Moving conference. It was a great conference.”

“I regularly speak about our grassroots organisations. Paul Waugh spoke about outcomes; for me it is access. How are you simplifying the funding application process and streamlining the number of different grants that are available?”

“Huw, you have mentioned that the Government’s holiday activities and food programmes suffer from inefficiencies. What would you like to see changing?”

“Good morning. You have already touched on some kinds of benefit that would not need significant amounts of funding, but I want to delve a little bit deeper into that. Peter, what benefits that would not need significant amounts of funding would you advocate for?”

“You know what needs to be done and you have just spelled that out, but does Boxing UK or whoever it is need to do more?”

“You have just touched on something, because, to go back a step, clubs need to know that funding is available.

“Hello, Tim. I declare my interest: I was on a panel with you a few weeks back, at the GM Moving conference. It was a great conference.”

“I thank the hon. Member for South Devon (Caroline Voaden) for bringing this really important debate to the House. I am speaking today on behalf of the 1,422 people in Leigh and Atherton living with dementia. That is above the national average; my constituency ranks 281 out of 650. I want to speak about the incredible w…”

“To mark NABMA’s “Love Your Local Market” campaign, I want to express my support for Leigh market in my constituency. It is a vibrant hub of creativity, entrepreneurship and community spirit, and this Saturday it will host live events and workshops. Will the Leader of the House join me in celebrating local markets and r…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes (Melanie Onn) for securing the debate. For far too long, people across the country have struggled to access NHS dental care, and I have heard heartbreaking stories in my constituency. One constituent has struggled to find an NHS dentist, which has left…”

“I rise to speak in support of the Bill and the Government’s new clauses, as this issue matters deeply. When we talk about immigration and border control, we are not just talking about policies made in Westminster, but about real-life consequences for those seeking refuge. This Bill is a major step forward in building a…”

“Recent figures show that sexual offences recorded by Greater Manchester police have quadrupled since 2010, with the Wigan borough seeing the most domestic abuse call-outs. Although the domestic abuse protection order trial in Wigan is welcome, more must be done to ensure that women and girls are safe. Does the Minister…”

“1. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle violence against women and girls.”

“I thank the Secretary of State for his announcement this morning regarding GP services. One way that pressure is eased in our GP services is through charities such as Compassion in Action, which provides non-clinical, whole-person care in my constituency. It receives GP referrals from across Leigh and aligns with the G…”

“14. What steps he is taking to shift care from hospitals into the community.”

“I, too, rise to speak on clauses 32 to 34. In Leigh and Atherton we have seen at first hand how cuckooing can tear apart the fabric of our community. Vulnerable residents, often facing significant personal challenges, find their homes taken over by criminals. That not only puts them in danger, but creates that ripple e…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Dr Allin-Khan. I rise to speak briefly to clauses 14 and 15. I draw the Committee’s attention to the fact that I am a Co-operative member and a Labour and Co-operative MP who has long campaigned for stronger protection for retail workers. Retail crime is not just a statist…”
