Speeches by Munt.

“I am trying so hard to avoid more references to Paddington, but you are quite right.”

“I partially agree with the hon. Gentleman, although if we were part of the EU, we might find ourselves in the position of being able to influence that a little more. He is right to recognise that our jams, spreads and marmalades have a distinctive characteristic. Indeed, they are one of our largest exports to countries…”

“At the end of October 2013, I led a debate on the regulation of jam, which caused a bit of a stir. It rightly warned of the end of the British breakfast as we know it. Thirteen years later, I have returned to discuss marmalade. Last July, a lady called Vivien Lloyd, who inspired the debate about jam, returned to see me…”

“I thank the Minister enormously for her explanation, and I am pleased that there is no intention to damage our trade in any way.

“I want to ask you about your response to the recent Court of Appeal judgment in Mazur. You said that you will “continue to hold regulators to account” to ensure that there is a clear approach across the sector to reserved legal activities. What does that mean?”

“But it did not.”

“Good afternoon. My name is Tessa Munt. I am the Member of Parliament for Wells and Mendip Hills. I am also a director and a vice-chair of WhistleblowersUK, which is a not-for-profit organisation, and vice-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on penal affairs.”
