Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Summer Recess Adjournment.


Summer Recess Adjournment

That is a very good point. The hon. Member for Isle of Wight talked about the importance of the South East England Development Agency. The Government have worked closely with SEEDA, which set up a taskforce as soon as the consultation was announced. However, it seems as though decisions are being taken very quickly, which is a pity. We should not forget the textile industry, which was mentioned by the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, particularly the important issues concerning the cashmere knitting industry. My hon. Friend the Member for Plymouth, Devonport (Alison Seabeck) outlined the variety of problems created for her constituents by leasehold management agents. There have been similar instances in my own constituency, particularly in connection with insurance cover. I will ensure that she gets the answers she wants on the two matters that she raised.
