Lord Marlesford: ...has been behind huge troubles all over the world, but it keeps its face clean. It is really like Sinn Féin was to the IRA. We should be more discriminating over those to whom we grant refuge. When David Cameron proposed to take 20,000 refugees from Syria, some of us asked for priority to be given to Christians and Yazidis, who were particularly subject to persecution. Up to now, the...
Lord Tyrie: ...partly prompted by the group I founded. The first, by the ISC in 2007, completely erroneously concluded that Britain had not been involved at all. The second, a judge-led inquiry that I persuaded David Cameron to establish in the months before the 2010 election, was closed down before it had a chance to get very far. The third, another by the ISC, has just completed its work and has done...
Lord Bates: I will, of course. David Cameron, when Prime Minister, was a member of the high-level panel that set up the sustainable development goals. The report will be presented to a high-level panel in July by the Secretary of State for International Development. Indeed, further to that, the Prime Minister will take part next September in the first stocktake of sustainable development goals at the UN...
Jenny Rathbone: ...have to remember how difficult it was on the doorstep to have a conversation that did not need to go on for half an hour, because it's such a complicated issue. The original disaster occurred when David Cameron decided to put this issue to a referendum as an alternative to having to put up with the split in the Conservative Party. But we are where we are, so we have to get on with the...
Donald Cameron: I, too, welcome the opportunity to debate this important subject, and I thank David Stewart for allowing us to have this discussion tonight. I cannot pretend to match his scientific expertise, but I am told that Brian Whittle has a chemistry degree, so I ask members to save their questions for him. I promise not to do a standard Brexit speech, not least given the very serious implications...

Paul Wheelhouse: ...of today’s debate. There is, of course, a long history of support for marine energy in the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Government has a strong track record of supporting the sector, as David Torrance said. Support from elsewhere has, perhaps, not been so robust. We are a maritime nation, and much of Scotland’s influence on the world is built on our scientific and engineering...

Baroness Goldie: ...the UK is not alone in the position it adopts. I also mention that our position is well understood, and we are not lobbied by other countries to change our approach. As the former Prime Minister, David Cameron, explained: “Not only are the courts best placed to judge criminal matters but their impartiality also ensures the protection of the UK Government from the politicisation and...
Donald Cameron: ...will provide a clear and simple set of rules on GIs, and continuous protection for UK GIs in the UK.” I also draw Parliament’s attention to the evidence of the Secretary of State for Scotland, David Mundell, who told a committee of this Parliament last week: “Our intention is that the existing arrangements with the EU will remain exactly as they are, that we would have such...

Afzal Khan: ...last week. As she admitted in our last meeting, the Government’s strategy is to kick the boundary issue into the long grass. What has changed? We are in a mess because the former Prime Minister, David Cameron, tried his luck at rigging the electoral system in his party’s favour. The Conservative party since lost its majority in Parliament and now does not have support for the plans,...

Anneliese Dodds: ...the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, international co-ordination on tax has frequently been blocked by the Government. We saw that particularly when it came to the taxation of trusts with both David Cameron and now the current Government arguing against more transparency. It is no surprise that, as a result, a director of Fidelity International and other experts are saying that the...

Chris Bryant: ...are worried about their jobs, whether there will be houses for their children and what the future holds. I honestly think that they just see all this as a massive distraction. I feel so angry with David Cameron, because in the end he appeased the far right in this country. Of course, lots of people are always tempted by appeasement of the far right, because it makes a lot of noise....
Daniel Zeichner: ...referendums are used mainly by Prime Ministers who are in a fix, trapped by divisions within their own party. That was most certainly the case in 2016. Although I have not an ounce of sympathy for David Cameron, he must wonder every day how it came to this. In 2016, the country was hideously divided on the issue, but a decision was made. Two and a half years on, it looks as though we face...
