Speeches by Pitcher.

“My hon. Friend is making a great speech. I would like to raise awareness of paediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome and paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcus, conditions caused by an abnormal immune response that results in brain inflammation and leads to obsessive comp…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that, when we think about growth, we need to think about being strategic in how we connect all our railways, buses and so on? A new airport is going to be opening in Doncaster. We need to be thinking about the future and how we connect that to the rail network as we go forward.”

“Standardisation and consistency in services are really important. A person in my constituency of Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme is living with poor mental health. His pharmacy has stopped doing nomads, and it is too far for them to travel to the next pharmacy, where those are not paid for. Does the hon. Gentlem…”

“I recently visited Weldricks pharmacy in Rossington and saw the amazing work done by the team there. My constituency is in quite a rural area and provision is patchy. Does the hon. Member agree that it would be good to map all community pharmacies, understand where there are gaps, and make targeted interventions? That …”

“We cannot talk about coastal communities and health without talking about safety, and particularly water safety. Over the past couple of weeks, when we have had hot weather, at least 17 people are known to have died by drowning, many of them children and young adults. Will the Minister talk to other relevant Ministers …”

“10. What steps he is taking to support cadet forces.”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“I welcome the announcement of the first National Cadets Week, and I look forward to the new cadets action plan and the long-term vision for cadet forces. The figures released last week showing that more than 1 million young people are not in education, employment or training are deeply worrying, both for young people t…”

“Steel is to the UK what Yorkshire tea and Yorkshire puds are to God’s own county, what the hotpot is to Lancashire and what black cabs are to London. It is to the UK what the St Leger is to Doncaster and what the hood is to Haxey. It is about us. It is about what makes us and drives us. It is about pride. British Steel…”

“Jenna and Ben, you have already expanded a little on what I am about to ask, but do add more if possible. What evidence have you seen of WPQs being used as a follow-up on FOI requests, or vice versa?”

“That would be very useful. Thank you.”

“So that is within the Department but not across Departments. If an FOI or a WPQ goes to a different part of Government, there is no co-ordination in the response, because you will not see it—because there is no central point.”

“Alex, this is more for you, I think. We have heard that some MPs see WPQs as a way of communicating their workload to residents and others, and their level of activity. Do you think that TheyWorkForYou has an impact on how WPQs are used by MPs and on how many are submitted?”

“I have had the pleasure of opening two banking hubs, in Rossington and in Thorne, and have seen the success that they have brought to the area. However, I also have the Isle of Axholme—a rural area—in my constituency, and access to cash is really important for financial inclusion, local businesses, and the resilience o…”

“Where you get a WPQ and an FOI requesting the same information, what co-ordination happens in Government in responding to those requests?”
