Questions at the Ready! Neath Port Talbot UNISON's Fair Funding/SOS Campaign will move up a gear this week with a “Question Time” event in Port Talbot Civic Centre. The event will be a vital chance for NPTCBC staff to put our case for fair funding to our locally elected AMs and MPs. The panel for the event will include Stephen Kinnock MP (Aberavon), Christina Rees MP (Neath), Carolyn Harris MP (Swansea East), Mike Hedges AM (Swansea East), Lee Waters AM (Llanelli), Cllr Anthony Hunt (Leader, Torfaen), Cllr Rob Jones (Leader NPT) and Steven Phillips Chief Executive NPT. It will take place in the Council Chamber at Port Talbot Civic Centre on Friday 11th October starting at 1pm and ending at 2pm. Granted paid time off to attend this event has been agreed for ALL staff by the Chief Executive, but is subject to service needs and you should negotiate this with your line manager. This event is for ALL staff, not just UNISON members, and is YOUR opportunity to have YOUR say on how budget cuts are affecting your work and what impact they are having on service delivery and on vulnerable people within our communities. Together we can make a difference, so please make every effort to attend the meeting. Even if you don't want to ask a question, it is essential that we show our locally elected AM’s and MP’s that we are all fully behind the campaign and that we can't continue with cuts to our vital services. Enough is enough - we need Fair Funding for the vital services that Neath Port Talbot Council provides! UNISON Office, Port Talbot Civic Centre SA13 1PJ Tel : 01639 763820 Email: [email protected] .

17 April 2020 page 1 of 4 By email only Rebecca Evans AM Minister for Finance and Trefnydd [email protected] Ken Skates AM Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales [email protected] Dear Ministers, Ms Evans AM and Mr Skates AM Dental practices and critical need for business support We need to bring to your attention the precarious position of many dental practices operating in Wales that have lost substantial private income sources overnight since all routine dentistry was halted from mid-March in response to COVID-19. Dental practices are independent businesses and are exposed to many of the same financial conditions that other types of businesses have faced with lockdown, but without the same eligibility for government support. The new Economic Resilience Fund in Wales launching today is unlikely to help many practices because the scheme is clearly aimed at businesses with employees rather than contractors. Most dentists in General Dentistry in England and Wales are contractors not employees. The same is true for dental therapists and hygienists. Moreover, many dentists have been personally financially exposed due to lack of any support for their private income loss, if normally earning over £50K. While the Minister for Health and Social Services has acted promptly to put in place a financial support scheme for General Dental Practices, the support is only with respect to the NHS component of contract income and then only at 80% of normal contract value for the duration of the COVID-19 lockdown measures. At the same time practices are required to pay their staff 100% of their NHS earnings.

18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re
Ms Elay Ershad MP 18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re: Westminster women MPs pledge support for Afghan women MPs You inspired us when, as a woman MP from Afghanistan, you joined us in the Chamber of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament in 2018 and spoke of your hopes of freedom and security for the people you represented. We are dismayed at the situation that now faces you and in particular women in Afghanistan and send you our admiration for your commitment to democracy, to women’s rights and above all for your remarkable courage as a woman politician in staying in Kabul, resolute in the face of the Taliban takeover. As women MPs in the UK Parliament we want you to know that we are looking out for you and we stand in solidarity with you and with all women politicians in Afghanistan who have stepped forward to be in public life and who, in particular, speak out for women and bring the representation of women into politics. Best wishes, Rt Hon Harriet Harman QC MP Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP Rt Hon Theresa May MP Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP Hannah Bardell MP Dawn Butler MP Debbie Abrahams MP Paula Barker MP Lisa Cameron MP Rushanara Ali MP Harriett Baldwin MP Maria Caulfield MP Rosena Allin-Khan MP Mhairi Black MP Wendy Chamberlain MP Fleur Anderson MP Kirsty Blackman MP Sarah Champion MP Catherine Ansell MP Olivia Blake MP Joanna Cherry QC MP Tonia Antoniazzi MP Lyn Brown MP Feryal Clark MP Sarah Atherton MP Felicity Buchan MP Daisy Cooper MP Siobhan Baillie MP Karen Buck MP Rosie Cooper MP Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge Kate

Football Association and Bet365 09 January 2020 Carolyn Harris
This debate is sourced from the uncorrected (rolling) version of Hansard and is subject to correction. Football Association and Bet365 09 January 2020 10.30 am Carolyn Harris (Swansea East) (Lab) (Urgent Question): To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on the deal between the Football Association and Bet365. The Minister for Sport, Media and Creative Industries (Nigel Adams) I will respond on behalf of the Secretary of State to this urgent question. Recent reports on the streaming of FA cup matches by online bookmakers have rightly caused concern across the House. They relate to a media rights deal agreed by the FA with IMG in early 2017, within which IMG could sell on live footage or clips of certain FA cup matches to commercial partners. Bet365 and six other betting operators acquired those rights from IMG to use from the start of 2018-19 season. It is right that sporting organisations have the freedom to beneﬁt commercially from their products and negotiate their own broadcasting deals, but football authorities also have an important responsibility to ensure that fans are protected from the risks of problem gambling. Since the deal was agreed, the FA has rightly reviewed its position on commercial relationships with gambling ﬁrms. It has ended a commercial partnership with Ladbrokes and announced that it will be reviewing its processes for tendering rights from the 2024-25 season onwards, and it is absolutely correct that it does so. The Secretary of State and I made our views quite clear yesterday and have done so previously on the wider responsibilities of sport and gambling sectors to their fans, their customers and our wider communities.
