Cabinet Office: Foreign Secretary: Declarations of Interest (23 Nov 2023)

Nick Smith: When Lord Cameron, the public face of Greensill, was in the room where it happened—when key decisions were made, and attending board meetings regularly—there is a perception that he was part of Greensill’s inner circle. Has the independent adviser assessed whether Lord Cameron was considered a shadow director during his time at Greensill?

Staff working across Parliament and the country are the backbone...

Prime Minister: Engagements (15 Nov 2023)

Nick Smith: David Cameron was the well-paid public face of Lex Greensill. Greensill’s companies are facing criminal investigations in Switzerland, Germany and here in the UK. David Cameron messaged Ministers and officials 62 times over Greensill’s covid loan guarantees. The Treasury Committee called that “a significant lack of judgement”. What does his appointment say about the Prime Minister’s...

Can I press the Minister to tell us more about the Government’s plans to...

Backbench Business: Menopause (26 Oct 2023)

Nick Smith: My hon. Friend is making a great contribution. Women have told me that, when they experience symptoms such as itchy skin, aching bones, depression and anxiety, their GPs advise them on how to treat those symptoms, although the cause could be the menopause. Does he agree that extra training and support could help GPs to recognise menopause symptoms better, and could therefore help many women...

I thank all those who have participated in the debate. It has been an excellent...

Tata Steel: Port Talbot (18 Sep 2023)

Nick Smith: The impact of the war in Ukraine has emphasised the importance of the UK’s sovereign steelmaking capacity, yet an electric-only arc model means that we will have to import supplementary virgin steel and be unable to produce high-end automotive steel. Does the Minister accept that, under this deal, the self-sufficiency of our steel industry has been dealt a real blow and that our defence...

Business of the House (13 Jul 2023)

Nick Smith: A Blaenau Gwent constituent has been ripped off by the funeral planning company Safe Hands, and it looks like the Financial Conduct Authority and the Treasury have been slow to act. I wrote to the FCA in January, but got a reply only yesterday after five and a half months, so while an investigation is in hand, that was a very poor response. Can we please have a Government statement? Thousands...
