Speeches by Prinsley.

“In Suffolk, many villages need new affordable houses, so what can be done to make the rural exception sites more attractive to developers?”

“I thank my neighbour for his intervention. I agree that there is much that dental hygienists and dental nurses can do, especially in check-up work. There are many positive steps, and I commend our excellent Minister on everything he has done, but we urgently need the new contract and incentives and rewards for NHS dent…”

“We are talking of spending, but modern warfare, like warfare since time immemorial, depends on the bravery of our fighting men and our fighting women. We also need a nimble and effective industrial base, for we used to have arrows, then there were bullets and shells, and now there are drones and tech. How can we be bes…”

“Does the Minister agree that what is needed is a complete cultural change in our schools, giving equivalence of practical skills to academic pursuits? We have masses of rebuilding in our country after the wreckage of 14 years, including in Suffolk, yet we have no welders. Let’s fix this.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Barker. Across the river, we can all see the covid memorial wall with a quarter of a million red hearts—a quarter of a million of our people lost. Few families were unaffected. My son is an accident and emergency doctor, and he was then working at a London hospital…”

“Does the Minister agree that what is needed is a complete cultural change in our schools, giving equivalence of practical skills to academic pursuits? We have masses of rebuilding in our country after the wreckage of 14 years, including in Suffolk, yet we have no welders. Let’s fix this.”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that we must have a single patient record, not simply federated records from other sources?”

“12. What steps his Department is taking to protect UK coastal waters.”

“Off the tranquil coast of Suffolk lie critical pieces of infrastructure, communications cables and electrical installations. There are alarming reports of munitions that are capable of creating giant tidal waves, threatening our coastal communities and indeed our nuclear facilities. Will the Minister outline what steps…”

“I know of a quite frail diabetic patient with cancer, who underwent several operations as well as complicated chemo in London. He eventually decided that he was well enough to take a short holiday, so he went to Cornwall on the train. Unfortunately, shortly after arriving he was found in a state of collapse by his daug…”

“I am grateful for that intervention, and I am aware that in various bits of the country such systems do exist. I would like to see a single patient record that is genuinely single, so that when my hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Dr Opher), who is sitting next to me, writes something in the record, I can see it, and …”

“I was interested in the hon. Gentleman’s comment about the shortage of welders. Does he agree that the Government’s plan for construction colleges of excellence, including the one in Bury St Edmunds, will be crucial for the provision of welders?”

“I thank the Minister for his statement. I declare an interest as a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, but I speak for myself. The actions of Minister Gvir, seen on the news last night, are an utter disgrace. As a Jewish MP, I was ashamed, for sometimes it is not easy to be a Jewish MP in this House. Does …”

“I do understand that that is the case. Would there be, for instance, a process of competitive tendering for the legal services?”

“I am sure you will. Thank you.”

“I am Peter Prinsley, the MP for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. To a member of the public, £65 million seems like an enormous sum of money. Would you give us an idea of how that money is to be used exactly? Is this £65 million for legal fees? Is it £65 million for salaries? Just tell “a voter on the doorstep” what you …”

“That fits with my experience of the situation, particularly in rural schools, where we have seen an astonishing increase in antisemitism in East Anglia. Could you talk about how the CST data is gathered? How complete do you think it is?”

“In this country, we have the CST. Obviously, we are very lucky to have the CST. In other countries, do they have something similar? Are there lessons we can learn from other countries about how best to deal with this, or are they learning from us?”

“I am a member of Labour Friends of Israel, a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, a trustee of the Norwich Hebrew Congregation, and of course I am a Jewish MP.”

“Good morning, everybody. I am the MP for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket, although I am a member of the Norwich Hebrew Congregation. This question is to Dave Rich: could you describe the scale of the recent increase in antisemitism in the UK, please?”
