Business of the House

Nusrat Ghani Excerpts

Thursday 6th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Lucy Powell]

I know that this issue is of huge importance to my hon. Friend�s constituents in Bolton. He will be aware that the Office for Students is looking into those serious allegations and engaging with the provider, and that the police are involved as well. He will know that the Office for Students has a number of sanctions available to it when allegations of such failures are found to be true. I will ensure that he is kept updated.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Questions must be short as we have only 25 minutes to go. I call Adam Jogee to show us how it is done.

[Adam Jogee (Newcastle-under-Lyme) (Lab)]

I shall try, Madam Deputy Speaker.

Last Friday, the people of Newcastle-under-Lyme received the news that the cowboy operators of Walleys quarry landfill had gone into liquidation. That is an attempt to cut and run from cleaning up the disgraceful mess that they have caused for far too long. Will the Leader of the House find time for us to unpick the crisis facing the waste sector in England, to identify how we can ensure that those who cause harm are held to account and made to pay for their failures, and to discuss how we can deliver justice and answers for the good people of Newcastle-under-Lyme?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Order. We have 19 people standing and just 13 minutes, so I ask Members please to keep it short.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

That might be a record. I thank the Leader of the House for being so fast in her responses�we got everybody in.
