Financial Services (Implementation of Legislation) Bill [ Lords ] (First sitting)

Debate between Jonathan Reynolds and Alison Thewliss

Tuesday 26th February 2019 Public Bill Committees

[Alison Thewliss]

I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

[Jonathan Reynolds (Stalybridge and Hyde) (Lab/Co-op)]

I beg to move amendment 11, in clause 1, page 1, line 14, leave out from “(g)” to “does” in line 16.

This amendment would amend the definition of “adjustments” to restore its natural meaning, while retaining the prohibition on major changes.

[Jonathan Reynolds]

I appreciate the Minister’s acceptance and reassurance that the levels of consultation and impact assessments are crucial to this process, and I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

[Alison Thewliss]

I beg to move amendment 6, in clause 1, page 2, line 37, leave out “4” and insert “8”.

Toilet Facilities: People with Disabilities

Debate between Jonathan Reynolds and Alison Thewliss

Tuesday 17th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Jonathan Reynolds]

I absolutely agree. This is a fantastic scheme, but as the hon. Lady says, in those 10 years we have secured fewer than 1,000—just 914—registered Changing Places toilets in the UK. I echo the calls of campaigners to make this 1,000 before the end of this year.

[Alison Thewliss (Glasgow Central) (SNP)]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for being so generous with his time. He mentioned the Trafford Centre and new buildings. Does he agree that there might be a place for new buildings to have this as part of the building regulations, so that developments over a certain size would have to have a facility such as a Changing Places toilet?

[Jonathan Reynolds]

I would love to see that. We could then start to guarantee that there would be substantial increases year on year.
