Speeches by Foxcroft.

“What does “good” look like? Do we know what that is now?”

“Particularly on that, what practical steps are being taken to make sure that we have those skills in contractors and so forth?”

“What are the risks if this approach is not taken?”

“My questions are about adapting to climate change. Historic England advocates a whole building approach to energy efficiency in historic properties. How does this approach differ from the conventional retrofit strategies?”

“If they are having plans to end up doing something else, like shutting down or whatever, that is just for them, not for the MOD as a freeholder?”

“The responsibility has been put on to them. I think this is sometimes the wider question of the responsibilities as well when there is not grant funding for them to be able to survive any more. Is there collaboration of any sort to make sure that we don’t end up losing a major historic building like that?”

“The old Royal Naval College is not in my constituency but it is in a neighbouring constituency. We all know the amount of attraction and so forth that it gets, but the grant-in-aid funding has now been removed, which is making its financial position really difficult. I believe the MOD is the freeholder of that. What pl…”

“Then just one tiny little question: where you have got it and it looks good, do you know how much you can save in energy costs and so forth? Are there calculations for that?”

“Maddie, I am absolutely fascinated by your point about not making money from it. If you were paid the full advertising revenues, would you end up making money?”

“My question is about other forms of financing children’s content, and I am going to lump three parts of it together. First, what other routes do you think could be explored to increase private investment in children’s TV? Secondly, do the proposals in the Government’s creative industries sector plan and the creative pl…”

“Damian, I have the question that you are wanting to come in on. What are the impacts of recent and upcoming government legislation on the major events industry? I know you started on some of it on the Employment Rights Bill and so forth.”

“On that point, you touched on a few things that you felt that Government could do, but is there anything else that that Government could do? When you were talking about the visas, can you say something on that as well?”

“How have you dealt with the challenges of Brexit? That is leading into some of that.”
