  Yes, Chair, either this morning or at the start of the afternoon—whichever is appropriate.

• Avanti West Coast Contract Renewal 25 Oct 2022

  Many of my constituents in Dudley South have been let down badly by the inability of Avanti West Coast to operate an acceptable level of service. How many more chances will Avanti have before its faces the consequences of its failings?

• Crisis in Iran 25 Oct 2022

  The brutal regime in Iran is being financed by up to $100 billion a year of sanctions relief, despite delivering almost no concrete action on nuclear non-proliferation. Will my hon. Friend press our international partners to ensure that such sanctions relief is tied to Iran’s delivering on its international obligations?
