Speeches by Dyke.

“Did you borrow too much?”

“Are you obliged to draw down the balance?”

“I rise to present this petition about rural post offices in Glastonbury and Somerton, which have closed at an alarming rate over recent years. A separate similar petition from the owners of Somerton Stores, Mr and Mrs Thievendran, recently garnered 800 signatures within two weeks, highlighting the overwhelming support …”

“Glastonbury and Somerton is home to some lovely small breweries. Obviously, we are the natural home of cider and produce some of the world’s best. Fine Tuned Brewery in Somerton is one of our brilliant little breweries. Although I recognise the Government’s intention to make the packaging more sustainable, that cannot …”

“The Met Office report and the Climate Change Committee have made it clear that we are unprepared for climate change, with progress on food security and nature restoration either insufficient or limited. The Lang partnership in Curry Rivel has proudly championed regenerative farming and nature-friendly farming methods f…”

“I thank sub-postmasters across Glastonbury and Somerton, and across the country, in particular Jim Gordon from Martock. Many post offices in my constituency have closed in recent years, including those in Somerton, Butleigh, Charlton Adam, Charlton Mackrell, Keinton Mandeville and Sparkford, depriving their communities…”

“I think my hon. Friend is coming to an important point that I want to make, too. I recently met Acorn childcare in Somerton, another brilliant women-led nursery in my constituency. Staff there have told me over and over again that they are really struggling with the unsustainable costs and the funding model that is bei…”

“Ellie from Wincanton in my constituency has autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and a specific learning disability. She was not diagnosed during her early education and did not have the support framework around her, so I am really pleased that the Government’s Best Start family hub expans…”

“Are those all your overall emissions?”

“At the moment you have set no overall emissions targets or at least you do not disclose all your emissions targets.”

“ClientEarth has produced a greenwashing file on INEOS. It notes that INEOS does not disclose its overall emissions.”

“Do you disclose all your emissions?”

“You mentioned the circular economy. Does INEOS need to increase your recycled material targets for future years to be really part of that circular economy?”

“Having products not wrapped in plastic, perhaps.”

“You say it is not the plastics themselves that are the problem but the fact that they are thrown away into the environment and sent to landfill or incinerated. Just going back to my line of quizzing around improving the information that goes to the customer, to what extent would curbs on plastic production be a threat …”

“You mentioned the upstream companies. Are the upstream companies against a reduction in plastic usage? I also wanted to quiz you on improved labelling for consumers.”

“Just going back to the consumer, if the consumer was aware through improved labelling, do you think their attitudes to buying products contained in plastic would change? I note that INEOS does not commit to many specific or measurable targets. Is there a link there with helping consumers change their habits in buying p…”

“If the treaty was ratified, would your company be able to adapt to a world that is less reliant on plastics? How would you do that?”

“ClientEarth has produced a greenwashing file on INEOS. It notes that INEOS does not disclose its overall emissions.”

“Do you believe that the polluter should pay?”
