Prime Minister's Questions - Postal Votes
Paul Uppal: Earlier this week the journalist Mary Ann Sieghart wrote an article in The Independent about the many young south Asian women who feel that traditionally their votes have been hijacked through abuse of the postal vote system. Will my right hon. Friend please look at revisiting the issue ...
Deputy Prime Minister: Electoral Register
Paul Uppal: What plans he has to improve the completeness and accuracy of the electoral register. Mark Harper (Parliamentary Secretary (Political and Constitutional Reform), Cabinet Office): In order to deliver a more complete and accurate electoral register, we will introduce our proposals for ind...
Health: Breast Implants
Paul Uppal: I also thank the Secretary of State for making the statement. Following on from a vein of questioning that has already been explored, will he elaborate on the point about the Government pursuing firms to recover costs and explain what mechanisms are available to the Secretary of State to...
Leader of the House: Eurozone Crisis
Paul Uppal: Does my hon. Friend agree that one of the most important lessons we can learn from this crisis is that if there had not been a change of Government in this country in 2010, we would be talking today in the Chamber about the UK sovereign debt crisis, not the Italian and Greek crisis? Mar...
Business of the House - Jaguar Land Rover
Paul Uppal: Given the excellent news that Jaguar Land Rover is opening a new engine plant—a £355 million investment, which will create up to 750 new skilled jobs—just outside my constituency, will the Leader of the House find time for a debate on the skills gap, as this can provide...
Treasury: Gangs and Youth Violence
Paul Uppal: To view this issue from a purely financial perspective is prosaic. From my experience, one reason why many young people join gangs is that are seeking a surrogate or substitute family. This is particularly the case among young men who are often looking for a positive male role model. I w...
Education: Topical Questions
Paul Uppal: Recently, at the WorldSkills competition in London, Britain came fifth out of 49 countries that were entered, above Germany, France and the USA. However, we still face a skills gap, and in some areas of the country, such as the area just north of Wolverhampton where there are new develop...
Public Disorder
Paul Uppal: I, too, thank the Prime Minister for coming to Wolverhampton yesterday, and I particularly welcome the initiative on planning. Yesterday evening I was with a community TV station on the Dudley road, and I heard with my own ears the brave, stoical and wise words of Tariq Jahan. I also spo...
Public Confidence in the Media and Police
Paul Uppal: There are very few places in the world where the leader of the Executive would subject himself to two hours of questioning. One thing that shames our democracy, though, is that there are elements in the House that seem to want to make political capital out of the hacking of Milly Dowler'...
Business of the House: Registration of Gold Dealers
Paul Uppal: There has been a correlation between the rise in the gold price over the past few years and the number of gold thefts in my constituency. The police seem to have a particular problem in tracing stolen jewellery. Will the Leader of the House find time for a debate on the individual regist...
