Topical Questions
T7. Given that Reform in Worcestershire promised to cut taxes but has instead increased county council tax for Redditch residents by nearly 9%, does the Chancellor agree that at the Redditch borough council elections on 7 May the only way to protect vital local services and keep taxes low is to vote for Redditch Labour candidates?

Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023
The hon. Member is making an excellent speech, and I want to reiterate his point. I have an extraordinary situation in Worcestershire, where many of my housing officers are not in the borough or even in the region that they serve. I find it extraordinary that I get regular interventions from the police telling me where supported housing has cropped up in my own patch, and yet my housing teams do not even know that it exists in the local authority area. Is it any surprise that the people there ar
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
I completely concur with my hon. Friend’s point. We are asking people to play by the rules, yet the rules do not work for them. I conclude by paying tribute to the work of my hon. Friend the Member for West Bromwich (Sarah Coombes) on ghost plates. It is a moment of pride to be named as a supporter of her Bill. She has done an extraordinary job in trying to fight an issue that goes across county lines in a rural constituency such as mine, which has a huge impact on safety and criminal activity.
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
I congratulate the hon. Member for Mid Dorset and North Poole (Vikki Slade) on securing this debate. This is one of those occasions where I do not have a written speech from my staff. Most MPs, I suspect, use some sort of casework system; I am up to almost 20,000 cases at the moment, but when a constituent visited me at my most recent surgery, I think his case number was between 2,000 and 3,000. I was shocked to see that someone who had come to me so early was still on our database, and this deb
Business of the House
My constituent Kevin has to travel between Redditch, Gloucester and Cheltenham for chemotherapy and operations following a diagnosis of oesophageal cancer. He has been told that he does not qualify for hospital transport as he is not in a wheelchair or using oxygen, but in reality Kevin is in no fit state to drive himself to appointments over an hour away from his home. Can I ask the Leader of the House for a debate in Government time to discuss how integrated care boards and the Department of H
Housing Conditions in Temporary Accommodation
I thank my hon. Friend for her Committee’s work on this important issue. It is one of the most comprehensive reports I have read and many elements of it are heartbreaking. I declare an interest as a member of the all-party parliamentary group for households in temporary accommodation. In the light of the report’s findings on poor conditions and a lack of national data, what steps does she believe need to be taken to improve oversight and standards, in particular for constituents such as mine in
