Point of Order: Welsh Affairs (1 Mar 2007)

Gentleman takes it seriously. He obviously...

There are similar potential problems with international efforts to use space technology to help on climate change.

UK Space Policy (23 Nov 2005)

Cheryl Gillan: I pay tribute to the hon. Gentleman for his long interest and expertise in the space sector.

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...in steering the Bill through the other place and for some of the reshaping that was achieved there.

Chesham Bois Post Office (11 Dec 2002)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...save the post office. I am grateful to Alison Naisby—and to the hundreds of other constituents who have written to me—for her analysis of the code of practice, under which the proposed changes to branches are to be handled.

Information Society (11 Jul 1997)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ..., yet in all their policy documents produced over 18 years in opposition and two and a half months in government they have never appeared fully to understand the implications for the business climate in which we operate.

Opposition Day: Family-friendly Employment (9 Jul 1996)

Mrs Cheryl Gillan: ...employment and falling unemployment. With the best inflation performance for almost 50 years, the lowest mortgage rates for a generation and the prospect of further economic growth, we have the right economic climate for job creation.
