Business of the House (21 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: China is increasing its carbon dioxide emissions by more than the UK’s total emissions every year of this decade. China, Russia, India and others are opening new coal-fired power stations on an almost daily basis. Do they know something we do not? Independent scientists have stated that higher carbon dioxide levels would be beneficial for life on the planet through increased plant growth,...

Israel and Gaza (19 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Hamas’s cold-blooded murder of at least 1,300 Israeli civilians on 7 October was truly abhorrent, but sadly, those horrific numbers are now dwarfed by the number of innocents of all faiths who have had their lives taken away from them in Gaza. I welcome the fact that the Government are moving on their position, but I believe they are going to have to move further and faster to prevent a...

Treasury: Topical Questions (19 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.

Treasury: Topical Questions (19 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Given that the Prime Minister has been forced to abandon his plans for an election on 2 May and could soon be facing a leadership challenge, does the Chancellor of the Exchequer believe that his Budget landed well with the public or even his colleagues on the Government Benches?

Work and Pensions: Topical Questions (18 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: The number of the long-term sick has risen from 2.1 million pre-pandemic to 2.8 million today. This huge increase started in spring 2021, at the same time as the roll-out of the experimental, emergency-use vaccines—or does the Secretary of State have an alternative explanation for the unprecedented rise in long-term sickness in the UK since spring 2021?

Business of the House (14 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Despite consistently delivering some of the highest economic growth in the country, North West Leicestershire remains without access to the rail network, leaving my constituents completely reliant on their own vehicles, taxis or local bus services. Will the Leader of the House join me in commending the 1,000 North West Leicestershire residents who signed a petition calling for the...

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: UK Food Security (14 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: I draw the House’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Can the Minister explain how his Department’s policy of taking good agricultural land out of food production is compatible with improving UK food security?

Business of the House ( 7 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Public petition 648609 called for a debate on ending the UK’s membership of the World Health Organisation, but a debate was refused by the Petitions Committee despite the petition well exceeding the 100,000 signature threshold. Can we please have a statement on why this House is determined to give away sovereign powers to an unelected, unaccountable, non-tax paying, diplomatically immune...

Farming ( 4 Mar 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Will the Minister give way?

Business of the House (29 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: I have always opposed capital punishment on the principle that it is wrong to take a life, so it cannot be right for the state to take a life in revenge. Events have caused me to reconsider my position. May we have a debate on crimes against humanity and the appropriate punishment for those who perpetrate, collude in and cover up atrocities and crimes so severe that the ultimate punishment...

Energy Security and Net Zero: New Nuclear (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Nuclear power plants come with a huge up-front capital cost. Even small modular reactors have a considerable price tag, so it is important that the Government get their procurement right for once. Does the Minister agree that SMRs offer possibilities for economies of scale? A large number could be commissioned at once, giving potential savings to the taxpayer while delivering reliable...

Post Office Horizon: Compensation and Legislation (26 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: After 14 years of campaigning on behalf of my constituents, Mr and Mrs Rudkin, and the other sub-postmasters who were victims, I welcome our now having almost a weekly update on the compensation scheme. I also welcome the Minister’s announcement of more generous interim payments for the victims, but I have to disagree when he says that the sub-postmasters Horizon scandal is unprecedented. I...

Home Department: Illegal Migration: Co-operation with France (26 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Will the Minister update the House on the number of illegal migrants who have crossed the channel and are currently being accommodated in hotels at the expense of the public purse? How does that compare with the number of UK nationals who are currently homeless or sleeping rough?

Home Department: Topical Questions (26 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Yew Lodge hotel in the north-west Leicestershire village of Kegworth continues to accommodate 230 male illegal migrants. How much longer will this blight be inflicted on my constituents by the Government?

Heart and Circulatory Diseases: Premature Deaths (22 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: I thank the hon. Member for Watford (Dean Russell) for securing this important debate, and for sharing his personal experience of suffering a heart attack. I am delighted to see that he has made such a strong recovery that he can be here in the Chamber today. I am sure that many Members have been affected by cardiac disease, or know people close to them who have been deeply affected by this...

Heart and Circulatory Diseases: Premature Deaths (22 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. That is a 40% increase. Ask and ye shall receive. The previous steady reductions followed major improvements in public health policy, reductions in risk factors such as smoking, and the controlling of blood pressure, as well as improvements in medical care. Although I am grateful to the hon. Member for Watford for securing this debate, and to the other Members...

Heart and Circulatory Diseases: Premature Deaths (22 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: I hope that the Minister will address that, and of course this will go on. Cardiac deaths were already the biggest killer in our country, but we have a mysterious 10% increase. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman, like others in the Chamber, has witnessed the horrifying sight of super-fit athletes keeling over on pitches around the world. A mountain of peer-reviewed evidence is emerging and...

Heart and Circulatory Diseases: Premature Deaths (22 Feb 2024)

Andrew Bridgen: Five minutes?
