  • E-Petition Session: TV Licensing, HC 1233
    Petitions Committee Oral evidence: E-petition session: TV Licensing, HC 1233 Monday 1 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Catherine McKinnell (Chair); Tonia Antoniazzi; Jonathan Gullis. Other Members present: Rosie Cooper; Damian Collins; Gill Furniss; Gareth Bacon; Jamie Stone; Ben Bradley; Tahir Ali; Brendan Clarke-Smith; Allan Dorans; Virginia Crosbie; Mr Gregory Campbell; Simon Jupp; Jeff Smith; Huw Merriman; Chris Bryant; Mark Eastwood; Ian Paisley; John Nicolson; Chris Matheson; Rt Hon Mr John Whittingdale OBE, Minister for Media and Data. Questions 1-21 Chair: Thank you all for joining us today. Today’s e-petition session has been scheduled to give Members from across the House an opportunity to discuss TV licensing. Sessions like this would normally take place in Westminster Hall, but due to the suspension of sittings, we have started holding these sessions as an alternative way to consider the issues raised by petitions and present these to Government. We have received more requests to take part than could be accommodated in the 90 minutes that we are able to schedule today. Even with a short speech limit for Back- Bench contributions, it shows just how important this issue is to Members right across the House. I am pleased to be holding this session virtually, and it means that Members who are shielding or self-isolating, and who are unable to take part in Westminster Hall debates, are able to participate. I am also pleased that we have Front-Bench speakers and that we have the Minister attending to respond to the debate today.

  • Dr Andrew (William) MURRISON Conservative WESTBURY '01
    Dr Andrew (William) MURRISON Conservative WESTBURY ‘01 Majority: 5,294 (10.5%) over LibDem 5-way Description: "My constituency straddles much of the territory that lies between Bath and Salisbury" (AM): four towns in west Wiltshire, including Westbury itself, the county town of Trowbridge, with its Cow & Gate headquarters, Bradford on Avon and Warminster, with its Army presence, plus a rural hinterland; near Edington in the constituency "King Alfred finally defeated the Danes and... founded the kingdom of Wessex"; "nestling under the escarpment of Salisbury plain is the ancient settlement of Westbury with its famous chalk white horse" (AM); in '95 it lost its most Labour- inclined town, Melksham, to the Devizes constituency; more oddly, in '00 it lost Harold Macmillan's 39-year-old grandson, Old Etonian David Faber, who had served 9 years as its MP; Position: Ex: Assistant to Lord Freeman, Conservative Central Office '99-00; Research Assistant, to Fareham's Sir Peter Lloyd '99-01; Outlook: His relatively late arrival in politics after a career as a Royal Navy doctor, was eased by his post as assistant to Lord Freeman in the Candidates Department at Conservative Central Office, from which he landed a safeish Westcountry seat at his first electoral outing; he "strenuously opposes membership of a European super-state" (WILTSHIRE TIMES); he backed the less Eurosceptic Michael Portillo and not Iain Duncan Smith in the '01 Leadership ballots; History: He joined the Conservative Party at 16, '77; he was politically inactive while serving fulltime

  • A View from Our House Is Attached)
    Dear Mrs Lane, I am writing to you following the Public Information Day on 16 April organised by Wessex Solar Energy. It was useful to have the opportunity to talk to the representatives who said they were genuinely surprised by the number of people who attended, and the depth of feeling about this proposal. I am not sure what the next step is with your Council, but I did see the Notice of Planning Application from Wessex in the paper last week. I note that only Landowners and Tenants are invited to make representations about this, whereas I think there are many people, like us, in the 2 villages who are very concerned. I am attaching a note I made after that public Information Day which you may consider relevant. Secondly, I wrote to our MP, Andrew Murrison congratulating him, and mentioning this proposal. His reply on 12 May included the following quote: “On solar, I will resist if it’s an eyesore and believe alternatives should stand on their own financial merits rather than rely on subsidy Best wishes, Andrew Dr Andrew Murrison MP for South West Wiltshire Well I think there is little doubt that it would be a very significant eyesore to many homes in our village. (A view from our house is attached). It would significantly affect our enjoyment of the local countryside and spoil the footpaths – whatever WSE say about fencing them off. Thirdly, I see that the Government policy is that these solar installations should not be placed on agricultural land. I’m sure you are aware that this was actually announced last year, and earlier this year.
