Speeches by Glover.

“I understand that, but of course, in terms of further progress, you are very much reliant on wider government and industry policies succeeding, which is uncertain. Is that right?”

“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…”

“Are you already thinking about the impact of inflation on construction costs, and the potential impact it might have on RIS3?”

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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.”

“One of the things the ORR was critical of in its efficiency review was the change that you have made from measuring performance against fixed targets to adopting target ranges. How do you respond to that criticism and what is the rationale for the change?”

“Yes, and planning, though you have partly covered that with DCO and all that joy.”

“The hon. Gentleman’s ask is entirely legitimate and justified. We hope that the current Scottish Government will, in the first instance, build on the wonderful achievement of the Scottish Liberal Democrat-Labour coalition in 2003 of introducing a Scottish Mountain Rescue grant. In terms of our asks of the Minister, it …”

“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…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Alec. I thank the hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Tony Vaughan) for introducing this important and sensitive debate with his customary eloquence. I thank the 464 of my constituents who signed the e-petition, placing my constituency in the top 25 nati…”

“I very much agree with my hon. Friend that accountability to this House is always a critical consideration. The second concern is Palantir’s track record and motivations. I shall not repeat too much of what others have said, but its close ties with the US Government and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, as…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dame Siobhain. I commend the determined and forensic work on this topic by my hon. Friend the Member for Newton Abbot (Martin Wrigley). The key reason I am attending and speaking today is because we love our national health service. For all its challenges and flaws, it is…”

“Or parking time, or whatever.”

“It is unquestionable that in quite a few parts of the country the car is the only option because, in effect, there is no bus service, and the distances are such that people would be unlikely to use active travel. It is interesting to see the different behaviours, because in those areas with limited public transport for…”

“The kiss and ride concept.”

“Or the other way round.”

“We have touched already on the multiplicity of transport providers and local authorities, and now we are going to have mayoral strategic authorities in some places, and whatever the other type is—non-strategic mayoral authority or whatever it is. I cannot even begin to fathom it and, frankly, I do not think the Governm…”

“The Government have recently published their eagerly anticipated, if I can put it that way, “Better Connected: a strategy for integrated transport”. I would love to hear what each of you. perhaps in a relatively snappy paragraph, thought about the strategy and what was good and bad.”
