Recent appearances

• Floating Offshore Wind Projects — [Sir Christopher Chope in the Chair] 18 Oct 2022

  Does my right hon. Friend agree that the much-rumoured and long-awaited freeport status for places such as Milford Haven—even in conjunction with Neath Port Talbot or similar—would accelerate all of the exciting initiatives he has referred to?

• Written Answers — Wales Office: British Constitution: Reform 6 Jul 2022

  I have not had any discussions with the Welsh Government on constitutional reform. Nor have I had any discussions on constitutional reform with businesses, charities, stakeholders, voters, or investors. As we recover from the pandemic and devote ourselves to helping with Ukraine this is the last thing any sane person thinks is a priority.

• Wales: Passport Application Processing 6 Jul 2022
