Speeches by Fortune.

“I know we are short on time, but I sense some hesitancy there. There is that cultural shift with the public, but what about the profession? How would the profession feel about that sort of change of delivery?”

“It is interesting, because the cultural element of this will be really challenging. I can see that Ali wants to come in as well. A couple of people have hinted at and touched on this, because people want to go and see a dentist, which is what we need to look at.”

“Because they have still three years of training, but it is at probably half the cost. There was a paper on this by, I think, Tim Leunig. Is this being looked at, in terms of where that delivery could be? That would increase capacity as well.”

“That was my question: how is the information provided? So when a new one goes in, an external company will be scraping the information and feeding it back to the manufacturers, who should upload it to the sat-nav.”

“That may cause some delay in the programme, as there is an ontological view of what the local authorities are and where their boundaries are.”

“Are there any bumps in the road—sorry, I will stop now—with the local authority White Paper and some of the changes that are coming along? Will that affect any delivery or roll-out?”

“I guess what I am driving at—excuse the pun—is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this. Local authorities are being spoken to, and there are bespoke models being prepared.”

“Sorry, I came into the meeting a bit late, so you may have touched on this, and I apologise, Chair, if that is the case. We have been talking about supporting local authorities with delivery. What sort of things are you doing specifically to support local authorities and to adapt to different needs? I was interested to…”

“There are no current plans in place; it is just a matter of waiting for that review?”

“To build on that, once the LEVI funding comes to an end, what plans, if any, are there to provide ongoing support?”

“T4. Following the Grenfell tragedy, the residents of Northpoint in my constituency have had to pay charges of nearly £700,000 for a waking watch, fire wardens and alarms. Given the Government’s manifesto commitment to better protect leaseholders from costs, what steps can the Minister take to help my constituents with …”

“Chair, for the record, I love Scotland as well—I do not want to be misrepresented.”

“Range anxiety.”

“I want to pick up on the conversation earlier about being able to locate charging points. Have any conversations been had by commercial developers and, I guess, local authorities with car manufacturers—especially manufacturers of sat-navs and in-house navigation systems—so that cars are pre-loaded with both the locatio…”

“With the re-election of President Trump in the US, we are likely to see a return to his policy of maximum pressure to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. What is the Secretary of State’s view on that approach? Will the Government support our allies in the United States of America?”

“16. What diplomatic steps he is taking to help counter potential threats to global stability by Iran.”

“I have been looking at some of the data on this. The infrastructure failings within the courts really are an issue, are they not? If we look at the data today, we see that 103 out of the 516 Crown court courtrooms are not sitting—that is about 20%—and Nottingham has just closed for the day because of health and safety,…”

“I guess people would consider it axiomatic that if you get more police officers, you will get more cases going through the court. I do not want to stand on Clive’s toes, but when you have these new police officers coming in, what kind of cases are you expecting them to deliver to the Crown court?”

“I have been busy looking at the increase in police officers, then looking at the trials and convictions. If you look at something like murder convictions, the numbers of police officers and the numbers of cases, which have gone up, do not really pull through to an increase in convictions. I am picking one area as an ex…”

“As has been highlighted on the Opposition Benches, English education has been a success story. We have trusted schools to get on with the job, and academies and new free schools enjoy the freedom to run themselves, pay their teachers more and improve their curriculum. Ending central Government and local government micr…”
