I really hope that the Minister is taking Jagtar’s case seriously, because sadly this not an isolated incident: we have faced similar difficulties in defending the west midlands three in Coventry North West.

If the hon. Lady wants to write to me on her specific constituency case, I will ensure that Ministers look at those points and come back to her.
