Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill: New Clause 1 - Impact assessment: trade and diplomatic relations (25 Oct 2023)

Sammy Wilson: I appreciate the remarks that the right hon. Lady is making—she speaks with some authority because of her background—but I fail to see the logic of her point that a Bill that prevents local authorities deliberately highlighting their opposition to the existence of the state of Israel, and boycotting goods from it, is likely to lead to bad community relations. Surely stopping local...

Net Zero by 2050 (16 Oct 2023)

Sammy Wilson: I welcome the Government’s belated recognition that net zero policies are costing individuals in their pockets, costing jobs and of course producing huge profits for the eco industry. But is the Secretary of State not concerned that, by maintaining the legal target for 2050, she hands a weapon to those who want to use the judicial review mechanism either to delay or to stop important...

Zero-emission Vehicles, Drivers and HS2 (16 Oct 2023)

Sammy Wilson: The more the Government pursue their net zero obsession, the less Conservative they look. The Minister, without any embarrassment, has today announced—in fact, he has boasted of—a new law, the zero emission vehicle mandate, which will instruct manufacturers on what they are allowed to produce year on year. Then he tells us that consumers will be allowed to purchase whatever cars they want...

Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Towns Fund: Project Delivery (16 Oct 2023)

Sammy Wilson: Fifty-five towns receive support from the towns fund in England, Scotland and Wales, but none in Northern Ireland do. The excuse has been given that the Executive is not formed, although that is as much the responsibility of the Government as that of people in Northern Ireland, but given that the criterion has already been set, why has it not been possible to select towns in Northern Ireland...

Post Office Compensation (18 Sep 2023)

Sammy Wilson: I thank the Minister for the energy and dedication that he has put into trying to move this issue along, which I know will be sincerely appreciated by those who have been affected.

Tata Steel: Port Talbot (18 Sep 2023)

Sammy Wilson: No matter what gloss is put on this today, 3,000 jobs have been sacrificed on the Government’s altar of net zero and decarbonisation.

Despite what the Opposition spokesperson said, the fact is that job losses are associated with this policy. We...

Border Target Operating Model: Food and Biosecurity (13 Sep 2023)

Sammy Wilson: I think the Minister may have misunderstood the question. It is not about GB to Northern Ireland.

Friend the Member for Upper Bann (Carla Lockhart) asked, will people be free to drive through without any...

Border Target Operating Model: Food and Biosecurity (13 Sep 2023)
