Christopher Pincher MP Calls For Assurances on Haunton Hall

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

The Member of Parliament for Tamworth, Haunton and Clifton Campville, Christopher Pincher, has called for any new operators of the Haunton Hall nursing home, Haunton, to be properly equipped to meet the demands of its residents. It was during an adjournment debate that he spoke at length on this issue.

Southern Cross, the current operators of Haunton Hall, went into liquidation after all its 752 landlords expressed their desire to leave the group last month. Southern Cross has faced significant financial difficulty since March, after announcing that rent for its care homes were unsustainable. Around a third of the homes have transferred operators, with the others still finalizing their plans.

Christopher Pincher Calls for a Child Court Reform

Christopher Pincher, the Member of Parliament for Tamworth, and surrounding villages, has called for a “better dispute resolution procedure” between the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS) and parents. This issue was raised by Mr Pincher in the House of Commons at the end of July before the parliamentary summer break.

CAFCASS and the Child Support Agency (CSA) has recently been criticised for the handling of specific cases. Poor service and ignored called have also been the lot of Tamworth constituents battling to gain access to or arrange visits for their children.

Christopher Pincher Condemns Looting Across Britain

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

Christopher Pincher, the Member of Parliament for Tamworth, is returning from his holiday to Westminster for the recall of Parliament on Thursday following mass disorder and looting in London, Birmingham and other cities around Britain. At the top of his agenda is action to give the police the “rules and the tools” to deal with this new and frightening phenomenon. He says he is appalled by the chaotic scenes in the capital and other cities of the United Kingdom.

Commenting he said:
“The actions of these mindless thugs and thieves are despicable. This is not a protest. It is wild and wanton riot, arson and looting for no purpose at all. I support the police in London and Birmingham in their endeavours against these criminals, and I praise all blue-light services in their efforts to protect innocent members of the public and their properties. I am encouraged by the Government’s response to increase police numbers in our capital city, but more needs to be done so these violent vandals feel the full force of the law. We police by consent in this country. But I feel there will be widespread public consent for the toughest measures to deal with this sort of crime. Some modern form of the old Riot Act should be considered to act quickly to restore order. Once it is invoked the people should know that unless they disperse, the police can use all measures – CS gas, rubber bullets or water cannon – to break up the mob. Tools such as these will allow smaller numbers of officers to deal with looters and rioters who were roaming the streets like wolves.”
