Feb 14, 2019:
- Rolling Stock | Oral Answers to Questions - Transport | Commons debates
  
  New rolling stock will of course be welcome, but is the Minister aware that there will be no stock rolling at all north of Preston over the busy Easter weekend because Network Rail is closing the line for maintenance? Does he not know that the Lake district is Britain's biggest visitor destination outside London and that Easter weekend is our busiest time of year? Will he tell Network Rail to change its plans?
Feb 12, 2019:
- Pensions: EU Countries | Treasury | Written Answers
  
  To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts during negotiations on the UK leaving the EU on the maintenance of European pensions in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
- Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme - [Albert Owen in the Chair] | Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Funding | Westminster Hall debates
  
  The hon. Gentleman is making a hugely significant point. I agree with him that the scheme has great benefits, but does he agree that, as well as risking potential slavery, a six-month scheme is so restrictive that many people will simply choose to go underground? The Government are setting themselves up for that to be a serious problem. Does he also agree that for many other industries-the 10,000 people working in hospitality and tourism in Cumbria, for example-that kind of option is neither available nor even proposed? That will have a huge impact on the economy in communities such as mine.
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Funding | Westminster Hall debates
  
  Does my right hon. Friend agree that the crisis in funding is about not only the overall sum of money but the distribution? Government policy means that schools have to absorb up to £11,000 of the cost of meeting an EHCP. Schools that do the right thing and accept children with special educational needs are therefore punished, and those that do not are rewarded. Does he agree that that is an unfair and wrong distribution?

- Pensions: EU Countries | Department for Work and Pensions | Written Answers
  
  To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans he has to provide support to UK citizens in receipt of EU pensions in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
