They may vary in their…04 Jul 2022HANSARD Hammersmith Bridge: Restoration FundingI am in a state of despair, listening to the Minister. The cost of reopening this bridge could be £160 million.

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman’s speech arrived late, so I am letting him deliver it paragraph by paragraph.16 Jun 2022HANSARDGrenfell Tower: Fifth AnniversaryI appreciate the hon.
