PMQs

Question

Next Monday is Holocaust Memorial Day. Does the Prime Minister join me in condemning racism? Regarding Greggs workers receiving a £300 bonus, how much should they be allowed to keep under Universal Credit?

Question

How can the Prime Minister justify that workers at Greggs earning low wages cannot keep their bonuses under Universal Credit? The Resolution Foundation reports serious distress caused by Universal Credit, with many claiming to be starving.

Question

Universal credit had three aims: make work pay, be simple, and reduce poverty. Low-paid workers are not allowed to keep their bonuses, it has created mind-numbing complexity, and is driving people to food banks. When will the Government accept that universal credit is broken, damaging, and dangerous?

Question

Would you visit Derbyshire Dales and support the bypass construction at Ashbourne, demonstrating your commitment to working people?

Question

Will you urgently increase the funding for primary care services, given the significant GP shortage and its impact on constituent health?

Question

Do you agree that we need a successor to the non-domestic renewable heat incentive for accelerating the roll-out of low-carbon heating?

Question

Will you commission and publish impact assessments for proposed trade deals so that industries can understand the costs involved?

Question

Will you ensure that DEFRA, MHCLG, Natural England and EA work together to protect waterways while supporting housing development?

Question

Will you commit to publishing the Oakervee report this week and delivering both projects to tackle the north-south divide?

Question

Will you meet me and the trains Minister to see how we can clear bottlenecks in the £3.9 billion trans-Pennine upgrade?

Question

My right hon. Friend will know that the Bracknell constituency is the proud home of more than 150 internationally focused companies. Will he please reassure the House that what is being done to develop new post-Brexit worldwide trade deals is for the benefit of everyone in Bracknell, Crowthorne, Finchampstead, Sandhurst and, of course, right across the UK?

Question

The Prime Minister has said that he wants to be known as a Brexity Hezza, and so, on that basis, will he commit to giving the Humber docklands the sustained support that Michael Heseltine gave to the London docklands to transform it from the 1980s onwards?

Question

Solihull is next to Britain's second biggest city, yet many of my constituents—myself included—struggle to get adequate broadband, which is something that is repeated across the House. Does the Prime Minister agree that this is a matter that needs intense parliamentary scrutiny, and will he commit to put the Government's shoulders to the wheel to get providers to improve our country's broadband?

Question

Last week, the Prime Minister did not know anything about a plan to dump radioactive waste in my Stockton North constituency, but I hope that he remembers what I told him a few weeks ago in my request for a new hospital—that men in his constituency live 14 years longer than those in mine. Just when is he going to end the scandal that means that Teesside men have the same life expectancy as those in Ethiopia, and to tackle the health inequalities in our area?

Question

You may have noticed, Mr Speaker, that it has been a long time since I was a teenager. [Hon. Members: “Never!] My memory has faded over the years, yet I still remember the embarrassment and shame that I felt each month when I had my period: we could not afford sanitary products, and I was forced to use toilet paper or, when we did not have that, newspaper. Will the Prime Minister acknowledge the work of Amika George, founder of the Free Periods campaign group, which means that no young women of school age in this country should ever have to feel the shame that I felt and remember all those years ago?

Question

As we approach the moment when we will leave the European Union, the Prime Minister will be aware of concerns in Northern Ireland. We welcome his assurance that there will continue to be unfettered access for Northern Ireland businesses to the UK single market, but does that commitment also apply to goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland?
