Speeches by Yang.

“Finally, the Cabinet Office is now conducting an inquiry into the ONS. I was wondering whether the Bank is involved in that.”

“I noted that you have had Bank staff estimating a new model for employment growth, as you detail in the report, which shows that it is flat or possibly decreasing compared to the ONS. The Bank and perhaps other agencies are now having to substitute your own staff resource for the lack of clear signals from the ONS.”

“Governor, I am going to return to our favourite multi-part drama, the labour force survey.”

“We were told by the outgoing national statistician that the improvements to the labour force survey should have fed through by May of this year. Do you feel they have fed through?”

“It is possible for an American private equity company to walk away from Thames Water, but my constituents cannot. When water company bosses fail, it is our residents who pay: in sewage discharged into rivers and in their crumbling pipes and drainage. I am therefore glad that the Government have taken bonuses off of fai…”

“Across neighbourhoods in my Earley and Woodley constituency I have seen too many incidents of electric bikes and electric scooters being ridden dangerously, including on pavements. Residents have told me of collisions in areas such as Woodley Precinct and Kennet Island. I have been raising the issue with Thames Valley …”

“14. What steps her Department is taking to improve neighbourhood policing.”

“No, thanks; I am about to draw to a close. Young people are the future, and they need a rise in their wages because of the living standards crisis that we face across this country. The University of Reading employs those young people and is a source of education for them. As an employer, it sees that it is better if al…”

“I will finish now. In conclusion, I am proud to talk about businesses and the real issues on their agenda, and I do not see those reflected in the Conservative party’s Opposition day motion.”

“rose—”

“Yes.”

“I thank the hon. Member for giving way and apologise for not being louder. I wonder if he has a source of data on the so-called exodus that does not come from a firm that gives advice to the very wealthy to migrate abroad, and which therefore has a great economic interest in propagating such figures.”

“The hon. Member for South West Hertfordshire (Mr Mohindra) mentioned my work before I came to this place. In my work at the Financial Times, I spoke to business leaders every day. Since my election to this place, I have had the honour of speaking to many businesses in my constituency. In the last month, that has ranged…”

“The first businesses I mentioned in my speech were the small shopkeepers in Whitley—the retail businesses that want to keep their food prices low, that are dependent on imports, predominately from the EU, and that want to ensure that their customers get a good deal, and I very much support them. Those are the three are…”

“I hope that this Government will continue to make progress on living standards, and on growth that benefits all parts of our economy.”

“Mr Nunn, your accounts last year show that you have set aside £450 million in potential compensation provision for the impact of the FCA review. I just want you to clarify one point, because I am sure that some of my constituents who are listening, who may have been caught up in this, will be really surprised to hear w…”

“I think my colleague, Mr Dean, is about to come in on that.”

“When we last discussed this issue with the FCA, it was concerned about the potential for over-leveraging first-time buyers, and repossessions that might result from that. Does anyone on the panel have a view about the balance that should be taken in the ongoing mortgage consultation?”

“I am going to ask about first-time buyers. As we know, the number of first-time buyer mortgages has been at a 10-year low, and home ownership among young people, in particular, is extremely low. Recently, the FCA reminded banks of the flexibility they have in administering their stress tests and affordability tests. Ma…”

“Mr Stuart, congratulations on your recent appointment to HSBC Holdings as a group director. I hope that you can convey to your new colleagues in HSBC Holdings how deeply concerned I and many Committee members are about the ongoing withholding of pension payments to Hong Kong BNO nationals who are now settling in the UK…”
