Parliament
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many public houses there were in (a) the London borough of Bexley and (b) Greater London in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many public libraries there were in (a) the London borough of Bexley and (b) Greater London in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Bexleyheath and Crayford of 1 March 2010, Official Report, column 658, what discussions he has had with the Minister for the Olympics on the take up of free swimming initiatives by Bexley borough council; and on what date Bexley borough council commenced offering free swimming.
My hon. Friend is making a powerful case. He has visited our area, south-east London, regularly to see at first hand the problems of health care that we had. The regrettable reorganisation that my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) referred to is causing great concern locally about the provision and quality of health care that constituents will receive. There is failure in our area. What reassurance can my hon. Friend the Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley) give our area about the future?
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people registered with general practitioners in the London borough of Bexley in each year since 1997.
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills how many post office branches there were in (a) Bexleyheath and Crayford constituency, (b) the London Borough of Bexley and (c) Greater London in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2009.
What recent steps he has taken to increase the level of attainment of pupils in secondary schools; and if he will make a statement.
I note the Secretary of State’s response, but far too many schools are still not making the required level of progress. Is he aware that in almost a quarter of state-funded secondary schools, fewer than half the pupils made the expected progress between key stages 2 and 4 in English and maths? Is that not an indictment of his record, and his Government’s record, over the past 13 years of failure?
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what progress has been made on reducing overcrowding on passenger rail services from stations in the London borough of Bexley to London terminals.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many people resident in the London Borough of Bexley (a) were summoned for and (b) undertook jury service in each year since 1997.
How much national lottery funding has gone to sport since 2005.
I thank the Secretary of State for that response. However, is he aware that many people in my constituency feel that the proportion of national lottery money going to sport has been inadequate and that Ministers and the Government have funnelled lottery funding to their pet projects at the expense of sport?
What steps are being taken to encourage community sports clubs to work more with local schools in order to increase the opportunity for young people to participate more in competitive sport?
