Extremism Definition and Community Engagement (14 Mar 2024)

Stewart Hosie: We know from the work of the Intelligence and Security Committee, under the leadership of the right hon. Member for New Forest East (Sir Julian Lewis), and its report on extreme right-wing terrorism that a number of people are radicalised not simply by shadowy organisations on the dark web, but at least in part by the mainstream media. How does the Secretary of State see his statement and...

Income Tax (Charge) ( 6 Mar 2024)

Stewart Hosie: In his statement, the Chancellor mentioned “not just higher GDP, but higher GDP per head.” There is just one slight snag: figures published today for GDP growth per capita from 2024 to 2027 are lower for every year than figures published only a year ago, so we are talking about not higher GDP per head, but lower GDP per head. I use that as an example; we hear the rhetoric and hyperbole of...

Income Tax (Charge) ( 6 Mar 2024)

Stewart Hosie: I agree that we need growth across the piece. One of the tools to facilitate growth is tax credits, and I am sure the Minister recognises that tax credits are a function of corporation tax. If he is serious about encouraging growth in Scotland, the Government should devolve business taxation powers and power over the associated tax credits; we would then see how we got on. Whatever was said...

UK Economy (19 Feb 2024)

Stewart Hosie: The Minister spoke about resilience, but the fourth quarter contraction in the economy was the biggest quarterly fall since early 2021 at the height of the covid pandemic, so I am not sure he is quite right about resilience. He also spoke about growth, but the Government told us in November that growth is not forecast to exceed 2% in any year in the forecast period. How modest the...

Household Support Fund (31 Jan 2024)

Stewart Hosie: Order. Unfortunately, there is a Division. I will have to suspend this sitting for 15 minutes for the first vote, and then for 10 minutes for any subsequent vote. Let’s hope we can be back here at 5.51 pm. Sitting suspended for a Division in the House. On resuming—

Household Support Fund (31 Jan 2024)

Stewart Hosie: Order. I understand why people want to make interventions, but if they are that long, colleagues will be reduced to around two minutes each.

Leaving the EU: Driving Licences (31 Jan 2024)

Stewart Hosie: Order. Given the delay for the vote, we are not scheduled to start the next debate until 4.44 pm, and I am minded to wait until that time to allow those who remember the rules to get here in good time. It is rather obvious that the next debate is very heavily subscribed, with at least 10 Back-Bench speakers already notified to me, and we require the Opposition spokesperson to start their...

Stewart Hosie: The new end time for the debate will be 4.44 pm.

Leaving the EU: Driving Licences (31 Jan 2024)

Stewart Hosie: I will call Dr Coffey to move the motion and then I will call the Minister to respond. There will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up, as is the convention in 30-minute debates.

Leaving the EU: Driving Licences (31 Jan 2024)

Stewart Hosie: Order. There are Divisions in the House. I will suspend the debate for 15 minutes for the first vote and 10 minutes for any subsequent votes, so let us all be back here for about 4.19 pm. Sitting suspended for a Division in the House. On resuming—

Tackling Islamophobia ( 7 Dec 2023)

Stewart Hosie: May I start by thanking the hon. Member for Bradford West (Naz Shah) for the way in which she led the debate? I do not think there was a single important part of this matter that she did not touch on extremely well. I will pick up on one thing: the issue of definition—not the APPG definition, which I will come to, but the United Nations definition. The UN describes Islamophobia as: “a...

Government Support for a Circular Economy (25 Oct 2023)

Government Support for a Circular Economy (25 Oct 2023)
