Mark Eastwood: ...sure there will be a sigh of relief all round. Alunet Systems is a group of companies based in Dewsbury that sells a wide variety of metal-based products, including aluminium, steel, and iron-based garage doors. Before the invasion its revenue was £30 million per annum, but that has now reduced to £20 million. It employed 100 people, but that has now reduced to 70. That could be down to...
Sadiq Khan: ...fixtures and fittings, with WCs utilising the rainwater harvesting system, to contribute to 50% reduction of potable consumption. TfL collects rainwater at several sites, including West Ham Bus Garage, and is identifying the potential for further cost-effective measures to reduce drought risk following a recent, in-depth climate risk assessment. TfL has also integrated water efficiency...
Tim Farron: ...power over their own housing stock, to ensure that they preserved an appropriate amount for permanent dwellings. Those were rejected, but we will have a referendum on Terry and June’s new garage. As the hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich indicated, we are all seriously in favour of local democracy, but I am concerned that the proposal will potentially be very divisive, and that we...
Ben Lake: ...weeks ago, there is no real link between higher fuel prices at the pumps and proximity to the refinery. Actually, the major drivers are to do with competition, the volume of sales and the models of garages locally. We need to look at extending the rural fuel duty relief scheme to areas such as Ceredigion so that, if nothing else, we have a bit of consistency and there is not a situation...
Paul Maynard: ...of the Minister’s constituency. I am sure my hon. Friend knows the small village of Hartlebury. He is nodding his head; good. The case study states: “The fate of a recently-demolished Morgan garage raises questions over how 20th-century heritage should be better valued and conserved. Although surviving as a well-preserved example of an inter-war filling station, with its vernacular...
Matthew Pennycook: ...simply like to get a sense from the Minister of what impact he believes these provisions will have on households seeking planning permission for projects such as extensions and conservatories, or garage and loft conversions. Specifically—this relates to a point that I will return to when speaking to amendment 66 to clause 77—what does the Department have planned, if anything, to ensure...
the Bishop of Chichester: ...the lead in terms of partnership with the voluntary sector. It invested, from its own funding, in the voluntary sector that it worked with and set up voluntary charities. For example, it set up a garage where boys, again, who had a criminal record or were at risk of offending through stealing cars and motorbikes, could be taught mechanics and develop skills that might help them find...
Paul Blomfield: ...recognising the pain it causes, and the way it forces so many into desperate and premature deaths. Eleven years ago today—also a Monday—I got a phone call here: he had been found dead in his garage. I had spoken to him the previous night on the phone as I walked through St James’s Park. An ordinary conversation that gave me no inkling of his plan. But later he obviously tidied up his...
Sarah Olney: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of the number of residential properties in London that have access to a private driveway or garage that could potentially facilitate electric vehicle charging.
the Earl of Lytton: ...site owners are a type of greedy usurer. I am unconvinced by this business of site rentals being too high. In many instances, it is no more than one would expect to pay for a handful of lock-up garages in a suburban location or a relatively smallish area of open storage land. The aggressive tactics that have been complained about arose because people can get away with it, and it is no...
...UK. We started off this, which may be considered by some to be a slight mission of madness, but I had the opportunity to do it. We started in my lounge, then we moved to the greenhouse and then the garage, and now we have built up quite a significant activity. I am worried about perhaps an agenda that this could be dominated by large multinationals, although one of the joys of...
Daniel Zeichner: Q I am slightly sceptical here. I imagine one of my constituents going into a garage and buying a chocolate bar that was produced with some genetically edited sugar grown in eastern England. I am not convinced that they would check the public register to find out whether that product had been produced in this kind of way. Is the register really aimed at consumers?
Sadiq Khan: A total of 84 buses contracted to Transport for London were taken out of service for at least four days because of the fire at Potters Bar Bus Garage. Four routes and three operators which normally use these buses were directly affected by the incident, with the severity of impact varying from route to route. In addition, due to the impact on the garage, other bus routes operating from...
Nicholas Rogers: Can you please confirm that the LFB has contacted TfL about the fire at the Potters Bar Bus Garage and is undertaking risk assessments of the electric and hybrid bus fleet?
Caroline Pidgeon: What is the estimated cost to TfL for repair works to the buses which were damaged during the fire at the Potter Bar Bus Garage in May 2022?
Nicholas Rogers: Will you be asking LFB to undertake fire safety reviews of all bus garages in London following the Potters Bar Bus Garage fire?
Caroline Pidgeon: In May 2022, Switch Mobility asked the operators, which use its double decker electric buses, to temporarily withdraw them from service following a fire at the Potters Bar Bus Garage. What was the estimated cost to TfL for taking 90 buses out of service for the period of the investigation?
Jonathan Lord: Mercifully, I am not aware of any publicly known antisemitism regarding Woking football club and similar clubs in the locality, but in 2017 there was a small graffiti war, played out on walls and garage doors in Woking, that contained a lot of antisemitism, and that was from rival Polish football fans. As well as attacking things domestically, will we use our positions in UEFA and FIFA—we...
John Nicolson: ...dearth of masculinity”—or so his father had persuaded him. The pastor showed me the suicide note that his son had written him. The lad had connected up the exhaust pipe of his car to the family garage. His handwriting on the suicide note had trailed off as he lost consciousness and then lost his life, as the fumes filled his lungs. His dying wish was that his father would understand...
