Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Phil Brickell

Monday 3rd March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Phil Brickell (Bolton West) (Lab)]

T7. I have recently received a number of complaints from my constituents about leasehold managing agents. These include unacceptably long delays for repairs—[Interruption.]

[Mr Speaker]

Order. It is totally unfair when a Member is speaking to block the vision of the Chair.

[Phil Brickell]

These include unacceptably long delays for repairs and exorbitant costs at Greenmount Court in Smithills, despite spiralling fees, poor transparency and little to no communication from the agent. What steps is the Minister taking to deliver a fairer deal for existing leaseholders and to hold poorly performing managing agents to account?

T4. I would like to share the experience of Northern Rail services of one of my constituents who commutes to work from Lostock to Manchester. On 30 October, the 1639 service leaving Manchester was cancelled, the 1708 was cancelled, the 1808 was cancelled and the 1839 was cancelled. The one running train, the 1739, was so overcrowded that no one at stations further down the line could board it. Does the Minister agree that my hard-working constituents in Bolton West deserve better?

[Mr Speaker]

Yes, I am on the same line.
