Written Answers — Ministry of Defence: Ministry of Defence: Energy (26 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish a breakdown by site of energy costs across the defence estate.

Air Quality (22 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: With three High Court cases lost, how critical does this situation need to get before the Government act? I appreciate the Minister’s words, and she mentioned Scotland, where all local authorities with air quality management areas now have action plans. We have set more stringent air quality targets than the rest of the UK and are the first country in Europe to legislate for particulate...

International Trade: Topical Questions (22 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: Although my party does not want to leave the single market or the customs union, a properly planned and managed transition period is always top of the agenda for businesses across Scotland, particularly in our thriving food and drink sector. Does the Secretary of State agree with his own Government that a sensible transition period is required, or is he sticking to his cliff-edge position,...

Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review (21 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: For my constituents Wilma Ord and her daughter, Kirsteen, the wait for action on this issue and to get truth and justice has been almost unbearable. While I welcome the Secretary of State’s candour and tone, the actions outlined today are not enough, and I fear that the baroness, as welcome as she will be to this process, will be doing her job with one hand tied behind her back. The...

Baby Leave for Members of Parliament ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: It is a pleasure to speak in this debate. I was a co-signatory of the motion, but by a quirk of parliamentary procedure the fact I am leading in the debate for the Scottish National party means my name had to come off. I pay a huge tribute to the right hon. and learned Member for Camberwell and Peckham (Ms Harman) and the right hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mrs Miller), two women in this...

Baby Leave for Members of Parliament ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: I thank the hon. Lady for that and completely agree with the point she makes. This vote on this issue is not just about the technicality of how we cast our votes, although that is very important. The hon. Member for Birmingham, Yardley (Jess Phillips) mentioned the thin end of the wedge and I agree with what she said on that. My hon. Friend the Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Angus Brendan...

Baby Leave for Members of Parliament ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: The hon. Lady is making an excellent speech. She mentioned Scotland, and I did not want to miss the opportunity to jump in. We have debated these matters before, and she mentioned electronic voting. In the Scottish parliament, we have a seat for every Member. She will know that one of the arguments against proxy and electronic voting is that Members need to be here in the Chamber to listen to...

Baby Leave for Members of Parliament ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: I congratulate the right hon. and learned Lady on the amazing work that she has done on this issue, and on her speech. Does she agree that given that we are apparently by definition the gayest Parliament in the world and have many LGBT Members, there will be many young gay male Members and female Members, like me, who may at some point want to have children, and it is important that this...

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: Role of Joint Ministerial Committee ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: While I take what the right hon. Gentleman says with the greatest of respect—I want to believe him—can he not see that, from the perspective of those of us from the devolved nations, the written and oral evidence given to the Committee paints a very different picture from that which he paints here today? Our concerns are legitimate, yet we have nothing. The Government have supported none...

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: Role of Joint Ministerial Committee ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: We were very glad to welcome the Minister to Livingston and I have been glad to engage with him on issues in my constituency. However, does he not recognise that engagement and consultation are very different from consent? The importance of consent and the devolution settlement being rowed back on are very different issues.

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: HMRC: impact ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. Does he agree that what we have seen across the UK, including from the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee, is huge criticism of the UK Government’s change programme? In my constituency, they want to centralise the Livingston HMRC office to Edinburgh. There will be a devastating impact on communities and the continuity of...

Exiting the European Union: “Scotland’s Place in Europe” ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: What recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the Scottish Government’s paper on “Scotland’s place in Europe: People, Jobs and Investment”, published on 15 January 2018.

Exiting the European Union: “Scotland’s Place in Europe” ( 1 Feb 2018)

Hannah Bardell: The Minister will be aware that the figures in “Scotland’s Place in Europe” very much mirror those that were leaked earlier this week. In Scotland, the difference is that the Scottish National party Government do proper analysis and publish it. The analysis says that there will be a hit to GDP of 8.5% and that £2,300 a year will be lost for each person in Scotland. How many jobs have...

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: Review of free trade agreements (30 Jan 2018)

Hannah Bardell: I commend the hon. Lady on an excellent speech and an excellent new clause. Given the mess that the Government have got themselves in over impact assessments—it is making headline news around the world and we are becoming an international embarrassment as a result—does she agree that putting it in legislation that Governments of whatever colour must make proper impact assessments relating...

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: Reviews of grandfathered trade agreements: Joint Ministerial Committee sub-committee (30 Jan 2018)

Hannah Bardell: The Minister will forgive me if I find his comments somewhat ironic given what has been in the press over the last couple of days about impact assessments. Does it not seem reasonable that the Joint Ministerial Committee—which, as my hon. Friend says, is already in place—should have a sub-committee? He may think that as things stand there may not be an impact on the devolved nations, but...

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: The Trade Remedies Authority (30 Jan 2018)

Hannah Bardell: I beg to move amendment 42, page 18, line 39, at end insert “and to each devolved authority”. This amendment would require the TRA to send its annual report to each devolved authority.

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: The Trade Remedies Authority (30 Jan 2018)

Hannah Bardell: I apologise for my lateness, Ms Ryan. I will be brief, because I know that time is of the essence. Amendments 42 and 43 are fairly straightforward, and seem to me to be a sensible and rational approach. Amendment 42 would require the Trade Remedies Authority to send an annual report to each of the devolved authorities; it is vital that we have those reports. Similarly, amendment 43 would...

Public Bill Committee: Trade Bill: The Trade Remedies Authority (30 Jan 2018)

Hannah Bardell: I feel that it is important to make these broader points, because they are germane to the issue and to the amendments. For us, the bottom line is ensuring that the devolved nations and the devolution settlements that were agreed on a cross-party basis are respected. That is absolutely at the heart of these amendments. I hope that we are able to get support for them, cross-party—and...
