Speeches by Moore.

“My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. On the day when the farming roadmap has been announced, this just shows the direction that the Government want to take: to destock and produce food less. The key question from the shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs that the Secretary of State did n…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Turner. I thank the hon. Member for North Northumberland (David Smith) for securing this important debate. I welcome the Minister to his place. His natural passion and enthusiasm for this vital sector is evident in the zero parliamentary mentions he made of farming …”

“I am pleased that that announcement was made, but, as I reiterated in my speech, that provision does not include West Yorkshire or my Keighley and Ilkley constituents. The Minister said that a broadbrush approach was needed to gain data, and that has been rolled out to the areas that the Government have already announc…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. I thank the hon. Member for Sunderland Central (Lewis Atkinson) for opening this important debate on behalf of the Petitions Committee, of which I am proud to be a member. I am grateful to everyone who signed this petition and I pay tribute to the lead peti…”

“I absolutely agree with the hon. Member. The reality is that, when dealing with such rare diseases, we are better casting the net far and wide to get as much data as possible. That was one of the points made to me by the Leeds teaching hospital. Dr Anne-Marie Childs is advocating for West Yorkshire to be included as pa…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Barker. My Keighley and Ilkley constituency is home to several businesses that have major concerns about the impact of this statutory instrument on them and their employees. Airedale Springs, Olicana Products and GESIPA have all been in contact with me about the pr…”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“Could the Minister explain, not only to me but to the businesses in my constituency of Keighley and Ilkley, why, if the explanatory memorandum accompanying the legislation clearly states that these regulations are “expected to have negative impacts on downstream businesses that use steel”, he and his Labour party are c…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Barker. I thank the hon. Member for Colne Valley (Paul Davies) for opening the debate on behalf of the Petitions Committee with his extremely well thought-through and detailed opening remarks. I pay tribute to the many individuals who have campaigned, and to the ad…”

“There is no real difference between the numbers of this so-called large site and a hotel based on numbers of asylum seekers being housed?”

“The occupation number of Crowborough is currently not at capacity but is around the 400 mark and other hotels that are still in use have occupancy rates of around that same number, if not slightly less. Some may feel that it is simply moving individuals out of a hotel, putting them in a so-called large site that is not…”

“Minister, why specifically this location?”

“Thank you, Chair. Can I just ask simply why the Home Office decided to use Crowborough training camp and Cameron barracks as accommodation for asylum seekers?”

“Finally from me, I know in evidence that was given to the Public Accounts Committee, Home Office officials stated that a significant part of the process in choosing a location was working with local authorities and local communities to ensure a significant level of support. Do you feel that the Home Office worked with …”

“Finally just from me, following on from the questions from Chris to do with total cost per individual, I know that you said that it is broken down differently but, regardless of the fixed cost associated with the whole site and how it is broken down, there will still be a maximum figure that can be divided per individu…”

“We are four months into the contract, and we are still not at full occupancy. From a taxpayer’s point of view, how many asylum seekers are you anticipating will go through this system over the 12-month period?”

“What is the average number of asylum seekers you can house in hotel accommodation? It is 100, 200, 300 in a normal hotel?”

“Fewer than 400 are being housed at Crowborough. Why is Crowborough considered a large site?”

“I am keen to understand how many asylum seekers you are anticipating getting through Crowborough over the 12-month period of the contract. The occupancy total is 540. If you are mandated for 82 days, that is a turnover of four times, which would be a maximum of 2,160 asylum seekers over that period of time. Your occupa…”

“I am still waiting for a figure on the occupancy at the moment.”
