Speeches by Milne.

“From the sound of it, it was an amicable agreement, an amicable accord.”

“Very interesting, thank you.”

“I think you partially touched on this, but do you think it would be helpful to have a more formal definition of what fiduciary duty consists of? Clearly it is already being interpreted very widely from what you said, William, but would it be beneficial to give clarity to the industry?”

“I thank my hon. Friend, who makes a very good point. The system is working almost to the reverse of what was intended. In my constituency of Horsham many people either work for London businesses or perhaps have traded down from a more expensive London property. From their point of view, Horsham represents excellent val…”

“Last weekend the Prime Minister said that the UK would do all that it could to support Ukraine. If that is the case, why do the Government continue to prevaricate over seizing billions of pounds in frozen assets held in UK banks, which could be used to build Ukraine defences? The longer we delay, the more likely it is …”

“7. What diplomatic steps his Department is taking to support Ukraine.”

“I thank the Minister for his reply and all Members for their very interesting contributions. One thing that is really striking is that we see the same problem up and down the land. It may manifest itself locally, but it is a national problem. Like many Members of this Parliament, I come from a local council background—…”

“Yes, it makes strategic planning very difficult. Provision of infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, is a major problem and not sufficiently built into the planning system to compensate for it. It is easier in urban centres where the infrastructure is already in place. This is the reason we have contrived to have…”

“For the individuals who benefit, no one can argue with it. It is the same with the sale of a council house—if you are the family that gets it, it has clearly given you a massive uplift. What I am saying is that we have a national societal problem to solve in the housing market in general. We have a certain amount of mo…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered reform of the standard method for assessing local housing need. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Hobhouse. Everyone agrees that across much of the country, homes have become far too expensive either to rent or to buy. There is less consensus on the best w…”

“10. What estimate her Department has made of the potential impact of changes to the eligibility criteria for personal independence payment on the number of people receiving that payment who will move into employment.”

“The Government say that their PIP reforms will help people into employment, but the Multiple Sclerosis Society says that 60% of sufferers believe those reforms will make it harder for them to find work, not easier. An estimate must have been made of what percentage of claimants will feasibly enter employment as a resul…”

“In West Sussex, the deficit on our DSG grant is £130 million, and that will potentially double by next year. Despite that, SEND provision, which is the main driver of that deficit, is deficient across the district. So many schools approach me on this subject. Does my hon. Friend agree that we need to not only find a wa…”

“In Horsham town, in my constituency, we have a central car park outside a Sainsbury’s, which is operated by a third-party contractor. The number of disputed tickets is out of control. Does my hon. Friend agree that the voluntary code of practice, which was introduced last year, seems to have made absolutely no differen…”

“To what extent it is out there and how we could scale it up.”

“Thank you. I absolutely agree with you: it is a challenge for Governments to look more than five years ahead at the most, across any issue. We heard earlier from Dr Attwood about the fantastic work going on in the south-west. How could we scale that up across the country or is it already happening in places around the …”

“David, same question but if you could also think of it in the context of what returns or benefits might the Government see from such an approach.”

“There has been talk about moving to a more preventive approach to health. What do you think the main challenges are to taking that path? Toby, do you want to start?”

“Do you have any specific recommendations or mitigations beyond not doing it?”

“As you know, the pension age is being pushed up steadily over a period of years and it is going up again next year from 66 to 67. That is fine for people, like MPs, who can work long past senility, but not for everyone. What mitigations or measures do you think the Government could take to help those people who will be…”
