Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and James Sunderland

Monday 29th April 2024 Commons Chamber

[James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)]

I thank the Education Secretary for all the support that her Department is giving to Bracknell Forest, particularly the £16 million safety valve programme and other SEN initiatives. Given the high number of good and outstanding schools in Bracknell and the focus on apprenticeships and T-levels at Bracknell and Wokingham College, might I tempt her please to visit?

[Mr Speaker]

A quick yes.

Levelling-up Fund Round 2

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and James Sunderland

Thursday 19th January 2023 Commons Chamber

[James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)]

I thank the Minister for her statement today and for her notification to me last night.

[Mr Speaker]

It was not a statement. Unfortunately, it had to be an urgent question.

[James Sunderland]

I thank the Minister for her notification last night. Clearly, the decision not to proceed with Bracknell’s bid was disappointing. It is a good bid; it regenerates Bracknell’s town centre and was submitted by a solvent and well-run council. Will she confirm that in principle more affluent areas in the south-east will not be precluded from successful bids? Will she meet me to help Bracknell refine that bid to ensure success in tranche 3?

[Mr Speaker]

I am not quite sure of your connection with this question, as a Scottish MP, because obviously it is about Northamptonshire and England. There must be one, but I cannot see it. Are you sure there is a connection to the question? [Interruption.] It is limited to three areas—the responsibility is for those areas. I call James Sunderland.

5. What steps her Department is taking to reduce the level of fraud and error in the welfare system.

[Mr Speaker]

We now come to topicals, where I suggest there are a lot of free hits, as we have quite a little bit of time.

[James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)]

Business of the House

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and James Sunderland

Thursday 3rd September 2020 Commons Chamber

[James Sunderland (Bracknell) (Con)]

This country must return to normality, and it is incumbent upon us in this place to take the lead. Does the Leader of the House agree that we now need proactively to mitigate the risks of operating in a covid-secure environment and get this Chamber functioning normally?

[Mr Speaker]

Leader of the House, who should answer it—me or you?
