Speeches by Pitcher.

“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?”

“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…”

“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?”

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

“I agree with my hon. Friend that the audiology action day was phenomenal, and that those in the audiology services at Doncaster royal infirmary are doing everything they can to improve the service that they offer my constituents, who are their patients. I have been exploring other opportunities; for example, I have bee…”

“My hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (Jo White) mentioned dementia. This is Dementia Action Week. The ability to hear is so important, not just for the obvious reasons, but in the broader context of dementia. This is about dignity and being able to enjoy precious moments. The Alzheimer’s Society has a regular “singi…”

“Q12. This Labour Government have backed the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield airport from the very start. It means jobs, investment, growth and opportunity, not just for Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, but for the whole region. Reform councillors in Doncaster are considering reversing their decision to support …”

“One of the gaps that we consistently see is in water safety, where interventions are often reactive rather than preventive. Following the tragic death of a young boy in a reservoir local to me in Yorkshire, I have been working on Sam’s law and with organisations such as RoSPA, the Royal Life Saving Society, and the fir…”

“As the Minister mentioned, it is International Workers’ Memorial Day, and trade unions have been here today to make sure we raise awareness of it. This year’s theme is the psychosocial interventions required to support workers and mental health. Will she take the opportunity to remember those we have lost at work, to p…”

“The UPP sounds like an absolute cultural gem, and I love anything to do with arts and culture, as a former chair of an arts and culture organisation. The Government have launched the town of culture programme, which will be an amazing way to bring people together. Does my right hon. Friend agree that that is a positive…”

“I will come to you first this time, Wendy, if that is okay. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, WPQs submitted via MemberHub up to 6.30 pm will be tabled on the same day. What impact, if any, would you envisage for Members if the cut-off time for electronic tabling were earlier in the day?”

“Wendy, have you and other Liberal Democrat MPs had a similar experience?”

“Alex, I do not want to make you repeat yourself, so only mention something if it is in addition. In your submission, you expressed a number of concerns about the Government’s approach to WPQ responses and their approach to FOI responses. Is there anything else that you would like to talk about?”

“It is more that we just want to understand what the options might be going forward and whether, based on the data and the analysis that we have, that is something we would consider.”

“Understood.”
