Speeches by Olney.

“I think this is a question for Mr Shaw. Among the written evidence that we have had is evidence submitted by the National Fire Chiefs Council. It reflects a conversation I had last year with the head of my local fire station in Richmond about electric vehicle fires. I was really alarmed by what I was told. We had recen…”

“Within that segment of charging.”

“The competition will potentially lower prices for certain types of charging, but if you cannot access that charging and you are stuck on the higher pricing model for charging, then competition will not make any difference.”

“Currently, if you have a petrol car, regardless of what kind of house you live in, the petrol will cost the same—it does not cost the same in every place, but everyone who goes to that particular petrol station will be paying the same—but in the future, you will have quite a big price differential depending on what kin…”

“You could do that in the future?”

“Do you accept that there are certain demographic groups that are much less likely to have off-street parking?”

“And you are monitoring it by demographic group. You tell me that you are monitoring what the different networks are offering, but are you monitoring how different groups of people are impacted?”

“Are you monitoring it?”

“Do you accept that different demographic groups are going to be over-represented in those different—”

“I was pleased to hear what the Secretary of State said about vaccine roll-out, particularly of the RSV vaccine. I am even more pleased that my constituents in Richmond Park are diligent in taking up all vaccines, but they have been puzzled to find that the RSV vaccine is limited to those between 75 and 79 years of age.…”

“Well, I would say that actually there are many other Opposition parties apart from the Conservatives. Obviously, it is entirely up to the Conservatives what their particular views are on this, but this would be a great opportunity for them. I understand that it is Conservative party policy to defend first past the post…”

“I am here to represent Lisa Smart because she was unable to make it, but also because, as Alex has mentioned, I had my ten-minute rule Bill before Christmas. As Alex said, there is a lot of interest in this particular topic right across the House. That is against the backdrop of an election that saw quite a poor turnou…”

“UK exports to China currently represent less than 10% of the UK’s total exports, whereas our exports to the EU represent over 40%, demonstrating the greater opportunities that trading with the EU makes available to our small and medium enterprises. Will the Chancellor commit to talking four times as much to our Europea…”

“I am humbled to take part in this debate. I do not have my own personal testimony to offer, but the issue of violence against women and girls has become very evident to me in my years as an MP through my constituency surgeries. First, I have learned how hard it is for women to get away and, once an abuser has them in t…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that collecting data is so important in really getting to grips with the issue?”

“I am fortunate enough to have a large community of Hongkongers in my constituency, who are extremely welcome, but they often speak to me about the limitations imposed on them by the conditions of the BNO visa under which they have arrived in this country. They cannot gain full access to healthcare, education or employm…”

“Given the width, still, of this funding envelope, there is £49 billion to £66 billion in 2019 prices. Again, if I was one of the commercial partners, I would be looking at that and thinking that that creates an opportunity. I think that remains a risk to this project and a risk to your very best efforts, which I do not…”

“I am going to express a bit of scepticism, if I may. If I was one of your commercial partners and I was listening to you today saying how you need to reset, how HS2, as an organisation, took on too many of the project risks at the beginning, and how you need to bear down on costs, I would be thinking, “Why should I? Wh…”

“Mr Wild, I just want to come back to your previous statements about renegotiating with the main contractors. I have also been reflecting on some of your introductory remarks about the necessity—within HS2 and within the DfT—for a reset on this programme. However, is it not the case that the third parties that you will …”

“I completely understand the point that you are making, but it is an increase.”
