Speeches by Moore.

“The fact that victims and survivors of this horrific crime literally had to become campaigners themselves to reach this outcome should make everyone in the House stop and think. When I last met the Safeguarding Minister, the hon. Member for Birmingham Yardley (Jess Phillips), along with the leading child abuse lawyer D…”

“Across Keighley and Ilkley, there are many fantastic independent businesses that rely on footfall for customers to come through their doors. However, after hiking parking charges in Ilkley earlier this year, Labour-run Bradford council has now decided to strip away our free one hour on-street parking from the town cent…”

“The farming community faces so much uncertainty not only as a result of the Bill, but because of all the additional pressures, whether it is the family farm tax or the increases in overheads, that are hitting cash flow this year. That is why my new clause 127 and amendment 153 —and, indeed, Opposition new clause 42—are…”

“Here we have the Liberal Democrats setting out their position, and it is a good that they are doing so because I fundamentally believe that if a farmer owns land and the state seizes control of it through compulsory purchase powers, it is absolutely right that that farmer should be rewarded with the market value, not t…”

“That is exactly why I urge the Government, as I have throughout the passage of the Bill—I know this point was also raised in Committee—to realise the huge level of disenfranchisement it represents for landowners. This Bill is not introducing fairness into the system, because it does not enable the state to pay the mark…”

“But the Government are going way beyond that and giving more powers to local authorities and, indeed, Natural England. If the Minister has gone out and spoken to anyone in the agricultural world, he will realise that trust in Natural England is shot, yet the Government are giving it more powers to compulsorily acquire …”

“That is exactly why I am so frustrated by the intent of the Government’s Bill. It gives Natural England more compulsory purchase powers, more funds through environmental delivery plans, and an ability to scrutinise and, indeed, to dictate to landowners how their land or farm may be utilised. That is wrong, especially w…”

“I rise to speak about new clause 127 and amendment 153, both of which are in my name. Compulsory purchase is a highly emotive and highly controversial subject. Indeed, much of yesterday’s debate was taken up by discussion of precisely the new CPO powers that the Bill will grant to Natural England and local authorities.…”

“My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech about choices, but this is also about fairness. The compulsory purchase powers contained in part 5 of the Bill disregard any hope value over and above agricultural value, which is not fair at all for those landowners who are having their land compulsorily acquired. If my hon…”

“To bring the hon. Member back to the compulsory purchase measures in part 5 of the Bill, which we are discussing today, many residents along the A1 corridor have been severely impacted by the Government’s decision not to continue the development of the A1. Will he consider supporting our new clause 42, which would incr…”

“Today’s U-turn is an astonishing victory against the Government, whose support has dried up after less than a year in office. When the Government announced their cruel cut to the winter fuel payment, costing 64,000 Bradford district pensioners vital support, experts across the country warned that up to 4,000 lives coul…”

“That is excellent to hear, but the point I am trying to make is that local authorities are coming up with excuses as to why not to have one, which I am absolutely seeing in my own area of Keighley and the wider Bradford area. Where we have local authorities that refuse to put themselves forward for an inquiry, will you…”

“One area that has drawn particular attention is the role of care workers. I want to build on the point that the Home Office expects the impact of the announced changes to overseas recruitment on the approximate number of care workers to be about 7,000. I was wondering how many previously displaced care workers have bee…”

“Thank you; we would appreciate that. What advice are the Government giving, or what are they looking to do, if care providers cannot fill those essential roles?”

“As part of the decision to try a strategy that brings about a reduction in inward migration of about 7,000 care workers, has there been any impact assessment, or fiscal impact assessment, of the cost of care for care providers if they find gaps or cannot keep that level of recruitment going given the new announcements?”

“May I bring it back to local authorities? Don’t forget that Bradford is a local authority that had children’s services taken away from it under the previous Administration and a new trust structure set up, so there are deep levels of concern about what is going on in Bradford. One of the reasons for refusal, as I have …”

“I want to focus on child sexual exploitation and gang-related grooming. Home Secretary, last month I met your colleague, the Safeguarding Minister, alongside a leading child abuse lawyer, David Greenwood, who has acted on behalf of many victims and survivors of the Rotherham cases. We presented a dossier to your Depart…”

“I completely acknowledge and thank you for that response. I will look at the report when it gets released, but the reality is that it is not looking specifically at local authorities; it is focusing more on police forces. My point is that at Bradford council, we were given the reasoning by our leader that a report woul…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Allin-Khan. I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Member for South Holland and The Deepings (Sir John Hayes) on securing this important debate. Who better to open this debate than a Lincolnshire representative from a county that I know very well and which produces…”

“My right hon. Friend makes a valid point. At the moment, the risk is all sitting on the shoulders of the growers and producers. That is unfair, because there is a certain expectation of the food they are preparing, whether in quantity or quality, but some of the risk factors are completely out of their control, as the …”
