Speeches by Aquarone.

“Very briefly, because you have both given different answers to the same problem, is the flooding a problem based upon the operating model simply because the digital native operators are just broadly more available across the whole country?”

“Do the others agree with that?”

“Could I come to Andy and Eamon on the broader point about whether the current regime accommodates both traditional and more digitally native operating models?”

“In a way, that would have existed, and still exists, regardless of the operating model that we have seen emerging in the market since 2015, but I appreciate the points. Can I come on to Eamon on the point about the different operating models and whether the framework caters for them both adequately?”

“For almost two years now, the people of Sheringham have been suffering from completely unacceptable service from our local branch of Jhoots. Shortages of drugs, shortages of pharmacists, issues with paying staff and a litany of other issues have caused chaos, including one resident sent by NHS 111 to secure emergency a…”

“I was not intending to be facetious in saying go with the flow; the flow of goods is clearly of paramount importance. We have also heard the view that the revised NPS is a little unclear about how it can be applied to non-strategic infrastructure projects under section 35 of the Planning Act. Philip, do you expect to m…”

“In other words, it is go with the flow.”

“I do not want to open a can of worms, but although I understand what you are saying about the DfT not quite taking a hands-off approach but being comfortable with the private sector approach, that is about capacity management and not about looking at the broader strategic role of sea-bound or sea-based freight in the U…”

“Minister, you mentioned being interested in what we had heard from our consultation so far, and we have a couple of questions about that. One is about the view that the Government should provide an overall strategy for ports to make sure that developments are planned in accordance with where the Government want to lead…”

“My colleagues may want to ask about harbours and marine licences later in the session, so I will leave it there.”

“On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On 16 June, I asked a written question to the Department of Health and Social Care, seeking an update on plans for a new dental school at the University of East Anglia. This is a hugely important issue for people in Norfolk and has been raised by MPs across the House. I have been left w…”

“I thank the Minister for his response and welcome him to his place. We have a prison population crisis, but rather than building or releasing our way out of it, we have to reduce reoffending. I recently visited HMP Bure in my constituency and saw the excellent work it has been doing internally to support prisoners in l…”

“5. What steps he is taking to support rehabilitative programmes in prisons.”

“The issue of the deemed marine licensing consents and the other ideas about HROs that we have just heard.”

“Already? Notwithstanding?”

“It is not just administration. It is duplication, actually.”

“This sounds like a stupid question, but do you have to be a harbour or harbourmaster to apply for an HRO?”

“I am not thinking about creating one, just to be clear. Finally, is the NPS the only way to address these problems, or could something be done through bilateral discussions with the agencies?”

“That is totally fine. Thank you.”

“We received a view that the risks of dredging are overstated in the NPS, particularly when it comes to its role in operations and indeed safety at ports. What is your view, first of all, and are there any practical implications of that position?”
