Most recent appearances
- Nato: Veterans' Travel (17 Jun 2013)
“What support his Department provides for veterans’ travel.”
- Nato: Veterans' Travel (17 Jun 2013)
“I am sure the whole House supports the need to do more to give our armed services personnel and veterans the ability to travel. It is commonplace in America for US personnel to get priority boarding at their airports. Would the Minister support a similar scheme here and encourage British airlines to offer Her Majesty’s armed services personnel priority boarding rights in British airports?”
- Opposition Day — [2nd Allotted Day] — Protecting Children Online: EU Police, Justice and Home Affairs (12 Jun 2013)
“Will my right hon. Friend resist the urges of the Government parties to play the game of trying to broker how many measures they can opt in or out of? She is absolutely right to raise the issue of counter-terrorism. Is she aware that about 10% of the work of Europol is related to counter-terrorism? Is that not the compelling reason why we must keep these arrangements in place?”
