Speeches by Dyke.

“Project SHE in Somerset, run by the Nelson Trust, allows some women who have been arrested for the first time for low-level crime an alternative to court, working with offenders on rehabilitation and reducing the impact on the community and the criminal justice system. What support is the Department providing for such …”

“I was recently privileged to be one of the first cyclists to use the newly opened section of the Curry Rivel Active Travel Group’s car-free path—a transport-free route along the A378, which is a really busy road. It benefits pupils at many of the local primary schools and the local academy. With half of local pupils in…”

“Everyone must be able to access services with their dignity upheld and privacy respected, including women and trans people, but following the Supreme Court ruling many people are feeling confused and concerned. We must not allow it to lead to further heated arguments and toxicity. What steps is the Minister taking to d…”

“It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Mr Stuart. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for South Devon (Caroline Voaden) for securing this important debate. Residential estate management is a scandalous reality affecting thousands of people across the country. Residents are left to navigate this complex landscap…”

“The right hon. Gentleman talks about vulnerable people. A constituent of mine, a widowed mother, lives in Westport with her son who has ME—indeed, she suffers from ME as well. Two weeks ago they were left without power and therefore without a phone. Had an emergency occurred during that time, they would have been. Does…”

“I welcome the announcement. Curry Mallet Church of England school in my constituency was successful in this funding round, and can expand its early years provision. However, many early years providers, such as Hassockmoor Childcare in Barrington, face significant funding challenges. Given that more than three quarters …”

“Do you think that the volatility that is being created at the moment is giving farmers confidence in their future business?”

“Not least that it is one of the central pillars of the ELMs programme, and obviously it needs to be delivered. What assessment have you made on the sudden closure of the SFI and the impact that that will have on environmental practices? It will potentially force some farmers who have missed out on this funding to accep…”

“Can you confirm that there will be funding available in future years for SFI funding?”

“Okay, so no opportunity to port funding across from other pillars.”

“Is there any projected underspend in any of the other three pillars?”

“I would like to drill down into some figures that Janet gave Tim. There are 3,000 applications that are in train. I do not think you actually mentioned a figure, but you said there are others. What are the next steps for those applications?”

“You are talking about a review being available in July, but there is no confirmation yet of what time that might be.”

“Very quickly, farmers often receive a very small portion of the retail price of their produce. Some reports suggest that they only get about 1% of the profit, while processors, transport companies and retailers take the majority. Is that fair?”

“Daniel mentioned earlier that we are doing “well enough” in food security terms, but a farmer in my constituency from Long Sutton told me that after the closure of the SFI, he is contemplating leaving his ground fallow due to the risk of a failed crop and not being able to reach funding. It is going to push his farm fu…”

“I am really worried about the timeframes because so many farmers I have spoken to in my constituency—I know other Members will hear the same—do not know whether they are going to survive that long. A farmer in my constituency said that his farm will have to be sold, and his son and daughter will not have the chance to …”

“Daniel, when you were shadow DEFRA Secretary, you said in relation to SFI funding, “Farmers have no guarantee that the goalposts won’t be moved again and support undermined. The recent chaos and confusion around Environmental Land Management schemes has spooked farmers and environmentalists alike, and done nothing to h…”

“When you are talking about thousands of farmers, though that multiplier effect becomes quite dramatic. At the end of the day, we are talking about farm businesses being viable and profitable. Obviously, if farmers are leaving their land fallow, they are going to put their farm business at risk. We have already said aro…”

“It was 2022.”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Twickenham (Munira Wilson) for securing this urgent question. Zach and Iesha were placed in the care of my amazing caseworker, Sammie, nine years ago. They had a really hard start in life and were shortly due to start receiving trauma therapy and life story work. I am really please…”
