Speeches by Dyke.

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

“On the back of that, assuming that the GEF is the right financial mechanism, do you think that there needs to be some technical assistance incorporated within that model? Do you think that the financial and the technical elements should be strongly linked?”

“Do you believe that the polluter should pay?”

“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?”

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

“Do you believe that the polluter should pay?”

“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 …”

“Do you disclose all your emissions?”

“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?”

“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…”

“Somerset is so often at the forefront of climate change. Recently, Somerset Rivers Authority set up a community flood action fund to provide small grants for small-scale works to reduce flooding in Somerset. These local, community-led interventions can make all the difference on the ground, but funds are limited, so ho…”

“Residents in Somerton and Langport are isolated from the railway line that runs right through the area. Some 50,000 residents could benefit from a new station, but hopes for that station took a massive hit when the Chancellor cancelled the restoring your railway fund. What steps will the Secretary of State take to intr…”

“Glastonbury town centre has seen increasing rates of antisocial behaviour, shoplifting and crime. A local charity shop manager told me that residents and customers are too scared to walk down the high street, which obviously has a negative impact on the local economy. Will the Minister meet me to discuss how effective …”

“George is the fifth-generation owner of Knight’s fish and chip shop in Glastonbury. It is a much-loved business in the town, but it is under severe pressure after the NICs increases and business rates and some of the decisions made by Ministers on our economy. Hiking national insurance hurts our small businesses and ec…”

“Jackie from Street suffers with Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia and mental health issues. She worked for most of her life until ill health made it impossible. Under the reforms, she will lose her entitlement to personal independence payment and employment and support allowance, plunging her into poverty. Can the Chancell…”

“It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Mrs Harris. I thank the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (John Lamont) for leading this important debate. I also thank the 348 petitioners in my constituency. The red grouse is a unique wild bird, native to the moorland areas of the UK, but it is under …”

“June is Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month, celebrating the colourful histories and contributions of those communities. People are drawn to Glastonbury and Somerton as a place of pilgrimage, because of its unique spiritual heritage. After the Conservative cuts, we have no sites across Somerset for our Gypsy, Roma,…”

“Veterans play an important role in my Glastonbury and Somerton constituency, where 11% of households include at least one veteran. However, female veterans are more than 10% less likely to be employed than male veterans. Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that we must put more support into helping female veterans find…”
