Treasury: High-income Child Benefit Charge (19 Mar 2024)

Karl McCartney: Good afternoon, Mr Speaker. [Laughter.] These changes are welcome, and they mean that more Lincoln families will receive more support from the Government, as I told the Minister in Lincoln on Friday. Will my hon. Friend confirm when the formal consultation on basing child benefit on household income rather than on individual income will commence, if the civil servants in the Treasury will let...

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

Friend update the House on the role that institutions such as the University of Lincoln will have in providing research and training for these types of power...

Karl McCartney: There is a plan for at least 2,000 single young men who have come here illegally soon to be housed just 3 miles from the centre of Lincoln at RAF Scampton, in the constituency of my right hon. Friend the Member for Gainsborough (Sir Edward Leigh)—if Home Office Ministers have their way. On top of the huge and rising costs and the recent advice from civil servants to Home Office Ministers to...

Leaving the EU: Driving Licences (31 Jan 2024)

Karl McCartney: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Hosie. I commend my right hon. Friend for securing this debate.

We look forward to all people getting the same rights as those who passed their test before 1997.

Karl McCartney: As ever, it is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Gary, and I am grateful to the hon. Member for North West Leicestershire (Andrew Bridgen) for securing and leading this debate. Like many hon.

International Men's Day — [Philip Davies in the Chair] (21 Nov 2023)

Karl McCartney: One of the reasons I am standing here is that the hon. Member for Northern Ireland, as many of us think of him, has made some very valid points, including about Samaritans, which has a direct link to my constituency of Lincoln. I do hope to see some Members at Mr Speaker’s event later this morning. We are commending International Men’s Day, and the hon. Gentleman has made some very good...

International Men's Day — [Philip Davies in the Chair] (21 Nov 2023)

Karl McCartney: In contrast to the last two questions from the Opposition Benches, I thank my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and our Prime Minister for their important recent visits to our ally Israel. The Government’s unequivocal message that Israel has the right and must be able to defend itself against the Hamas terrorist group is right and just. What steps is my right hon. Friend taking to...

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (18 Jul 2023)

Karl McCartney: In contrast to the negativity from the Opposition Benches that oozes across the Chamber, I positively welcome my hon. Friend’s update. Is there anything comparable in recent history or down the tracks as good as the agreement and partnership that has been entered into?

Post Office Horizon IT Scandal: Compensation (18 Jul 2023)

Karl McCartney: The Minister in place at the moment will realise that former colleagues have stood at the Dispatch Box and given excuses. The procrastination from his Department has been terrible and the effects are ongoing. Fulsome and full compensation is to be welcomed, but the word that was missing from the Minister’s statement was “timely.” Therefore, the first part of my question is this: why two...

Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Climate Finance Commitments (18 Jul 2023)

Prime Minister: Engagements (14 Jun 2023)

Karl McCartney: Lincoln will soon benefit from £20 million of levelling-up funding to deliver a traffic bridge over the railway to stop the city being permanently gridlocked by the Labour city council’s huge western growth corridor housing development.
