Speeches by Blake.

“Professor Miles, I was struck by what you said about Government investment in response to John Glen’s question around growth. I am really interested to know how you factored in the proposed planning reforms, and whether or not there is any dependence on the deliverability and the market’s response to those reforms to d…”

“I was referring to the suggestion that the proposed independent living rent body would start setting rents under subsection (2) based on the property size, quality, local incomes and location. Given the constrained market that would establish, surely it might reduce availability even further.”

“The hon. Lady might be coming on to the impact of the criteria in the new clause, but I am concerned that the market could respond to them by drawing investors into just one location that was already a serious hotspot. It would be helpful to understand more about why they might help.”

“You have quite effectively highlighted the importance of reform, which we will be coming on to with the Chancellor. Could you just sketch out volume pressures and explain some of the detail of what you mean by volume pressures?”

“I am concerned about how realistic, towards the end of the spending review period, those figures might be and your assessment of how realistic they might be, and how you have come to that assessment.”

“Does the hon. Lady acknowledge that her description of some kind of arrangement between the ombudsman and her proposed scheme would be incredibly burdensome, complicated and opaque for tenants? It would not necessarily deliver the type of justice she described.”

“Does the hon. Lady think that the ombudsman could play a greater role in determining outcomes? Her point on the damage that discrimination can do was well made, but the Bill may be able to address that discrimination in other ways.”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“Q5. Minutes from here, in the communities of Victoria, Pimlico, Paddington and Covent Garden, there is an unprecedented rise in the number of people sleeping rough after 14 years of the Tory Government. Will the Prime Minister update the House on the cross-departmental homelessness strategy, and does he agree that this…”

“I am proud to speak at the first Budget by a Labour Government in 14 years, and the first delivered by a woman Chancellor. What better symbol is there of the hollow outrage of the Conservatives than their completely empty Benches now. I am disappointed, however, that the hon. Member for Mid Norfolk (George Freeman) is …”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“Does the hon. Member agree that further work might come through on the way the tribunal operates and how it could operate in future under the Bill, and that the changes to how the tribunal functions might help to deal with the issues addressed by the amendment?”

“I have been working with parents of children with SEND for a number of months now. They talk to me about their children’s experiences in mainstream schools and the fact that the support has not been what it should be, even though they are looking for an inclusive education for their children. Can the Minister outline w…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that a crucial part of reclaiming the narrative, which is the theme of Black History Month, is celebrating historic citizens of our own constituencies? Will she join me in celebrating Olaudah Equiano, who set out his powerful contribution in his autobiography of 1789? He spent many of his days…”

“Some 27,000 people in the Cities of London and Westminster live in the private rented sector. After 14 years of neglect and delay, they face damp and mould in their homes, and risk no-fault evictions and out-of-the-blue rent hikes. Does the Deputy Prime Minister agree that the Renters’ Rights Bill currently in Committe…”

“Q Let us take heating as a hazard. What do you think the effective enforcement of heating, or cold, as a hazard would be? Judicaelle Hammond: Sorry, I really cannot give you a proper answer because it would depend on the circumstances.”

“Q Theresa, I was struck by your remarks about rising homelessness. You will be aware from the public P1E data about causes of homelessness that the end of a tenancy is the leading cause of homelessness at the moment. I would be interested to know more about why you think any changes to that would actually increase home…”

“I am a vice-president of the Local Government Association and my husband works for an organisation that has funded the Renters’ Reform Coalition.”
