Speeches by Hall.

“That is still a little vague. The Secretary of State said last year—I think it was the back end of last year—that he was absolutely committed to an increase in transparency, yet we are still here, two years on from the information that we are seeking to have, so I am going to press again. Given the urgency of you comin…”

“Can we get a ballpark figure, then?”

“Is that a communication issue, then? That is not feeding through to employers.”

“I have also been doing a lot of work with education providers and employers in my constituency with a variety of sectors. We have some really big sectors in Warrington South. In Warrington as a whole, we have the nuclear sector, engineering, electricians and so forth. We also have an upcoming skills shortage. We are lo…”

“There is one issue that comes up repeatedly. If you are a young person training to be an electrician or an engineer, for instance, you might turn up on site having only read in the classroom about how to use certain tools. There are concerns that these young people will turn up on the day not knowing how to use tools o…”

“That is happening in my local UTC as well. That is best practice. That is the gold standard; that is how it should be. My concern is whether that is happening elsewhere. Is that generally happening more widely?”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the impact of congenital hyperinsulinism on patients and their families. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Butler. I dedicate my remarks to my constituents Joanne and Gavin and their daughter Ibbie, who is two years old. Ibbie lives with a rare and serious …”

“The hon. Gentleman makes an important point. As I was saying, it is clear that congenital hyperinsulinism is not just a medical diagnosis; it is a whole-life diagnosis. It affects emotional health, finances, education, work, family life and more. Far too often, families say they feel invisible, left to navigate this jo…”

“I am a former member of Warrington borough council and the cabinet member for children and young people. I am also a member of several trade unions, and they are all outlined in my entry in the register of interests.”

“Thank you, Chair. In my previous life, I was a cabinet member for children and young people, so I have a good grasp of some of the challenges in that sector. One of the biggest issues we faced was private providers and residential placement costs. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this. One of the things t…”

“The solution surely is to take the profit out of the whole process.”

“We cannot grow our economy using a toolkit that still assumes that the south-east is the default. We need a Green Book that reflects the reality of 2025, not the London-centric logic of the past. This is our moment to rewrite the rules and deliver the growth, dignity and opportunity that the people of Warrington South …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Pritchard. For too long, my constituents in Warrington South have been told to wait their turn—for infrastructure, for investment and for opportunity. This Labour Government were elected to change the way this country works, and nowhere is that more urgently needed …”

“I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. Things are deeply unfair as they stand. Delivering fair public spending in all our regions is urgently needed. We cannot grow our economy using a toolkit that still assumes that the south-east is the default. We need a Green Book that reflects the reality of 2025, not the London-…”

“Community pharmacy funding is at a critical juncture, with many pharmacies in my constituency facing financial challenges. With running costs increasing and uncertainty around the date of the upcoming settlement, community pharmacies are concerned that there may be disruption to their business. What steps is the Depart…”

“8. What recent progress his Department has made on implementing the hub and spoke model for community pharmacy.”

“You said that it is paused at the moment. How far along in that process are we in terms of the alternative?”

“I would like to discuss the replacement analytical project. As is noted in the NAO’s Report, “Sellafield’s biggest single risk to its current and future operations is that its Analytical Services function will fail, disrupting other site operations; this is both ‘very likely’ to happen and could have a ‘very high impac…”

“Thank you for that. In terms of delivering the analytical services and providing the capabilities for the site, and fully addressing the risks at the current site, you are confident that there is an alternative.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Leigh and Atherton (Jo Platt) on securing this crucial debate. Constituencies such as mine have long faced challenges of poor connectivity. Warrington South is located at the crossroads of the north-west. It is …”
