Speeches by Glover.

“I hear what you are saying about the manufacturing sector, but we are hearing through this inquiry that there are big concerns about the delivery of charging infrastructure, grid readiness and affordability, and that they are all lagging behind where we need to be to achieve the trajectory to get to 2030. Do you agree …”

“A big issue with electric vehicles is either misinformation or people having inaccurate and outdated perceptions. The Government have launched the “Get that electric feeling” campaign—an interesting name. What evidence do you have on the reach and effectiveness of that campaign?”

“T3. At a recent meeting with members of Wantage chamber of commerce, local businesses were united in their concerns about business rates and unconvinced by recent Government tweaks that Ministers have just alluded to. Page 31 of Labour’s manifesto states: “The current business rates system disincentivises investment, c…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Mid Dorset and North Poole (Vikki Slade) for securing a debate on this important topic, and the Backbench Business Committee for choosing it. We have heard from many hon. Members the important reasons the DVLA needs to improve. I do not have time to mention all the excellent contri…”

“1. What assessment he has made of the adequacy of the ministerial code.”

“I was reading the ministerial code just yesterday evening. Paragraph 2.1 states: “The Prime Minister is the ultimate judge of the standards of behaviour expected of a minister and the appropriate consequences of a breach of those standards.” That provides clarity on how Ministers can be held to account by the Prime Min…”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention, and he is absolutely right to raise prison as another setting where people are often vulnerable and where more needs to be done in relation to SUDEP. Sepsis, which has a similar history of systemic failure, will shortly benefit from a modern service framework co-produced…”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention and his tribute to his constituent, and I look forward to working with him and others on this issue. The checklist, commissioned by NHS Midlands and developed by SUDEP Action, is designed for commissioners and providers of care. There is hope that it will be red-flagged i…”

“Let us talk about funding then, because the Government have made it pretty clear that they will be looking to private sector funding for a lot of this, and yet they have committed £1.6 billion of public funding up front, before the full business case has been approved and ahead of the planned transfer to the private se…”

“Some of the ORR’s comments are pretty damning. It has said that the ranges you have proposed are largely arbitrary. That is very strong language for the ORR, would you not say? Or are you saying that you have now reached a position of harmony and consensus with the ORR on this?”

“Given the big cost of this scheme and the fact that it is creating a new Thames crossing, do you feel opportunities have been missed in terms of using it for other forms of transport? No cycle crossing or scheduled bus service is proposed; I understand there are proposals to rely on a shuttle for cyclists. Active Trave…”

“I am just going to push you a bit further on the whole cycle crossing thing. People are fed up with me wanging on about the Netherlands and these things, but it built a motorway effectively connecting one part of the country to another—an above sea one as part of land reclamation—that has a cycle path that goes all the…”

“I commend my hon. Friend the Member for Hazel Grove (Lisa Smart) for her passionate, articulate exposition of the great work that mountain rescue does in her constituency. We also heard the passion for mountain rescue and the great outdoors from the hon. Members for Bolton West (Phil Brickell), for Strangford (Jim Shan…”

“I very much agree with the hon. Gentleman’s constituent. I thank her for her tireless campaigning and offer my condolences for her loss. My Oxfordshire constituency of Didcot and Wantage is the home to SUDEP Action, a charity that is local, national and international in its impact. In 1995, five bereaved women came tog…”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention and pay tribute to his constituent and their family. I am going to be talking quite a lot about what we can do to prevent such occurrences in the future.”

“It is probably because we are a country that hates cycling but I am sure you will not put that in your letter. I have one last question on this section and then one about Lower Thames Crossing. You have mentioned that it is one of the biggest civil engineering projects in the country. How are you going to make sure thi…”

“National Highways has previously given evidence to the Environmental Audit Committee about pollution from road runoff across your network, which was in September last year. How would you assess the current scale of the problem and what steps are you putting in place to address it?”

“Let us chat Lower Thames Crossing. How is the design and planning going?”

“In the United Kingdom, more than 600,000 people—one in a 100—live with epilepsy and every day around 80 people are diagnosed. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, abbreviated as SUDEP, is the term used when a person with epilepsy dies suddenly and unexpectedly. At least 21 people die every week in the UK from SUDEP, an…”
