  • 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.

  • The Rt Hon Priti Patel MP Home Secretary Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF
    The Rt Hon Priti Patel MP Home Secretary Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 18 July 2020 Dear Home Secretary Protecting people being exploited in UK garment factories We are writing as a broad coalition of parliamentarians, businesses, investors and civil society organisations about our concerns regarding the unethical labour practices taking place in garment factories across the UK. We request that urgent action is taken by the Government to implement a ‘Fit to Trade’ licensing scheme that ensures all garment factories are meeting their legal obligations to their employees. As we have seen in the media over the last month, a concerning number of garment workers in key hubs in the UK, such as Leicester, have continued to work in factories throughout lockdown without adequate PPE or social distancing measures in place. These reports on the terrible working conditions people face in UK garment factories add weight to concerns which have been raised over the last five years by academics and Parliamentary Committees about the gross underpayment of the national living wage and serious breaches of health and safety law in these workplaces. Unless action is taken now, thousands more people will likely face exploitation. Responsible retailers and brands have made significant efforts to improve labour practices in garment factories, but whilst this has supported improvements in a handful of factories, it has not led to the desired system-wide changes needed. Most leading fashion retailers have therefore significantly scaled down their UK supply. There is now an opportunity for the UK to become a world-leading, innovative, export led, ethical fashion and textile manufacturing industry, delivering better skilled jobs, that in times of crisis can also be utilised for PPE production.

The village of Rumbling Bridge is on the door step of The Walled Garden and is nestled under the Ochil Hills. The River Devon divides the village which is made up of large, detached houses. Less than half a mile away are a range of local services including post office, pub, garage and Fossoway Primary School. Two other nearby villages, Pool of Muckhart and Yetts of Muckhart, have a pub, coffee shop and another small but well regarded primary school. Kinross (6½ miles) has a good range of services including secondary education at Kinross High School, and a variety of shops, among them a Sainsbury’s supermarket. The small town of Dollar also offers a wide selection of shops, including a supermarket, delicatessen, bank and post office, hotels, health centre, dentist, golf course, a primary school, tennis club and squash club. The town is well known for Dollar Academy, a private co-educational school with an excellent reputation, that takes day pupils and boarders. The independent schools of Perthshire are also all within easy reach.
