It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Huq. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Hastings and Rye (Helena Dollimore) on securing this important debate.

25 Feb 2025Topical Questions

Gaza’s healthcare system has been devastated, and many civilians are in desperate need of treatment and specialist care, which is not available in Gaza itself.

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Twigg. I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Suffolk Coastal (Jenny Riddell-Carpenter) for securing this important debate.

Will the Minister update the House on progress on the industrial strategy for the automotive industry? How will that support supply chains in places like Dudley and across the west midlands?

13 Feb 2025 Business of the House

Last weekend, I went to see Dudley Town FC draw 1-1 at home against Lichfield City. Unfortunately, that “home game” was not within the constituency. In fact, Dudley has not had a stadium in the constituency for decades, despite being established in 1888. Will the Leader of the House provide Government time for a debate

13 Feb 2025Cardiovascular Disease: Prevention

I thank the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) for securing this important debate. Cardiovascular disease is a phrase heard far too often in family circles, large communities and even on the national scale. Cardiovascular disease is responsible for one in four deaths in the UK, and causes misery to many families.

11 Feb 2025Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 727)

Just going back to you, Jordan, you give a B-plus to the Government. Are there any areas of difficulty or any barriers that you or your members would like to see broken down when it comes to communication?

Do you think the Green Paper has the right priorities?

What has the feedback from businesses been, now that the Green Paper has been released?

Have you seen the White Paper?

11 Feb 2025Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 727)

I will start with Sir Charlie Mayfield. Do you think the Government should lean into its competitive advantages, or do you think it should look at areas that are slightly weaker in terms of productivity and focus on those?

39
11 Feb 2025Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 727)

So you do not feel that we should be targeting a specific sector per se, but that it should be more diffuse across all sectors?

25
11 Feb 2025Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 727)

In the Green Paper, the Government said they would like to widely engage with all stakeholders, including businesses and unions. How do you feel that is going at the moment? I will start with Jordan, if that is okay, and then go with Kate.

5 Feb 2025 Gambling Harms

Organisations such as Gordon Moody in my constituency provide essential and invaluable residential treatment for individuals suffering from severe gambling addiction, as well as mental health services and advice about how to detangle addiction. How are the Government supporting those organisations in their efforts to p

Allen, how do you think we can look at these insights and best practices, as shared by the industry, to tackle barriers so that consumers get the best price?

How should that be tackled so that it is not just dominated by one group of people, company or organisation?

4 Feb 2025Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 700)

Mr Lusty, your latest “State of UK Competition” report has shown how the average level of price mark-up at the largest firms is significantly greater than at the median firm. Can the pricing approaches taken by businesses help to explain some differences?

You said the 11% is the fee that you present on average. Is that correct?

4 Feb 2025Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 700)

What is the top limit that you have on a fee? If 11% is the average, what is the highest fee you would charge?
