Business of the House

Louise Haigh Excerpts

Thursday 9th June 2016 Commons Chamber

[Chris Grayling]

Of course, anyone who loses a child in unexplained circumstances should have information and should understand what happened. I will make sure that the Secretary of State for Defence is aware of the concerns that the hon. Lady has raised. She might like to write to me or to him giving more details. He will be here on the Monday after the referendum and I am sure he will be happy to take that question and give her a proper response.

[Louise Haigh (Sheffield, Heeley) (Lab)]

The pub code, which is designed to give some measure of protection to pub tenants against the sometimes appalling behaviour of pubcos, was meant to be implemented on 28 May, but so far the Government have put nothing before the House. When will the Government bring forward a statutory instrument so that we can get the code in place to protect tenants?

[Chris Grayling]

I believe the answer is very shortly, but I will write to the hon. Lady and give her more detailed information about what is planned.
