Ceasefire in Gaza (21 Feb 2024)

Chris Bryant: ...that some of the Members who are shouting the loudest—[Interruption.] I just remind some of those who have been shouting the loudest on the Conservative Benches that they personally voted on 13 May 1999 for a Conservative Opposition motion amending a Liberal Democrat motion on an Opposition day. Far more importantly, surely, is the fact that the behaviour of many hon. Members in the...

Copper Wire Telecoms — [David Mundell in the Chair] (13 Dec 2023)

Chris Bryant: ...Coastal made, but anyway, those will be elucidated tomorrow. It was good to hear from the hon. Member for North Shropshire (Helen Morgan), who referred to notspots, which I think she said covered 13% of her constituency, and the fact that 3% of people in the UK have no 4G signal. We are also 51st in the world for 5G signal. We are all aware that there are quite a lot of issues in terms of...

Proposed Merger of Three UK and Vodafone — [Sir George Howarth in the Chair] (19 Sep 2023)

Chris Bryant: ....4%. That is an awful lot of instances of 14.4%. That does not feel like a very competitive market to me. Prices for lower-use mobile customers are even worse and much more worrying. Ofcom found a 13% year-on-year real-terms increase in the price of pay-monthly, SIM-only mobile services in 2022. The Labour party and I worry that those increases have contributed to inflation and the cost of...

Sue Gray Report (31 Jan 2022)

Chris Bryant: ...not change its spots, does it? Every single one who defends this will face this again and again and again, because he still will not even admit to the House that when he came to us and said, of 13 November, that “the guidance…and the rules were followed at all times”—[Official Report, 8 December 2021; Vol. 705, c. 379]— and, on 1 December, that all the guidelines were...

A Plan for the NHS and Social Care (19 May 2021)

Chris Bryant: ...befuddled and trapped. Heather was seven when she was hit by a car as she turned a corner on her scooter. Thank goodness she survived, but she suffered a terrible blow to the head. She is now 13 and she still struggles to concentrate. Gareth played rugby from the age of 10 until he retired as a professional rugby player in his 30s. He took blow after blow to his head in the game and was...

Domestic Abuse Bill: New Clause 15 - Children as victims of domestic abuse ( 6 Jul 2020)

Chris Bryant: ...been diagnosed. So all the anxiety, loss of memory and loss of executive function may be completely misunderstood by many other people around her. Is it not time that we made sure, as my new clause 13 would do, that all victims of domestic violence and abuse are screened for acquired brain injury?

United Kingdom’S Withdrawal from the European Union (29 Mar 2019)

Chris Bryant: ...enacted in this Session—and secondly, an Act of Parliament to implement them. I feel that the Government actually intend to use the withdrawal agreement and implementation Bill to repeal section 13 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and yet we have already made a decision about the proper process in this Session of Parliament. I do not think that they will be able to do so,...

Business of the House: Sittings of the House (29 March) (28 Mar 2019)

Chris Bryant: .... I have a problem with the function that we are being asked to address tomorrow. First, the motion expressly does not meet the requirements of our own law, passed in this House, namely section 13 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, which clearly binds together the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration. Indeed the Prime Minister herself had repeatedly said the two...

Tobacco (30 Oct 2018)

Chris Bryant: ..., on that day, 150 private Members’ Bills are going to be considered, 148 of which—now 149—I suspect will not be reached. Under our Standing Orders, the Government have to provide us with 13 days in a Session for private Members’ Bills. They guaranteed that they would provide additional days in this Session, because it is a two-year Session. They are considering having a two-year...

Yemen: Legislating for the Withdrawal Agreement (10 Sep 2018)

Chris Bryant: ...up becoming law. However, I am guessing that everybody has now given up on October as the date for the negotiation to end. It looks as though Michel Barnier has done so. The EU is now proposing 13 November for a special summit meeting, as I note from the media today, and I guess we may then have a meaningful vote. I use the term “meaningful vote” advisedly. I do not know how we can...

Written Answers — Department for International Development: Israel: Visits Abroad (13 Nov 2017)

Chris Bryant: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if any of the meetings she held in Israel between 13 and 25 August 2017 were organised using email accounts or stationary provided by Parliament or her Department.

Written Answers — Department for International Development: Israel: Visits Abroad (13 Nov 2017)

Chris Bryant: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether she had any meetings or communications with any official from the British Embassy in Israel between 13 and 25 August 2017.

Adjournment (November and Christmas): Business of the House (Private Members’ Bills) (17 Jul 2017)

Chris Bryant: ...that my Bill will attract his support, briefly, and that of Government Ministers. We have yet to see whether that will happen. The hon. Gentleman rightly said that the Standing Orders provide for 13 private Members’ Bill days in a Session, but that is not true when we have a short Session, is it? We just curtail in those circumstances; we do not say that we have to have another six...

Adjournment (November and Christmas): Business of the House (Private Members’ Bills) (17 Jul 2017)

Chris Bryant: ...we had tabled such an amendment to today’s business, it would not have been selectable. There is no way that we could have tabled it today. The only thing that is open to us is to table the extra 13 days. To be absolutely clear, my amendment would add another 13 days and therefore give many hon. and right hon. Members a further opportunity to get legislation on the statute book. Why does...

Adjournment (November and Christmas): Business of the House (Private Members’ Bills) (17 Jul 2017)

Chris Bryant: I am not going to give way, because I look forward to hearing the hon. Gentleman just say yes on 20 October. If the Government wanted, they could make a Session last five years. Would there be only 13 days for private Members’ Bills then? In theory, yes, but according to the laws of moral justice in this House, I would say not. Why do I not trust the Government on this? The Leader of the...

Criminal Finances Bill: Unlawful conduct: gross human rights abuses or violations (21 Feb 2017)

Chris Bryant: ...principles as ours and, I would have thought, on the same values as ours. That is why we ought to be going at least as far as the United States of America. When the Commons debated this on 13 December 2010, the motion stating that we should proceed with a Magnitsky Act was carried unanimously. The Minister at the time, who is a thoroughly charming chap, said that we had to wait to see...

Investigatory Powers Bill: Civil liability for certain unlawful interceptions ( 1 Nov 2016)

Chris Bryant: ...not have much more time. He is completely and utterly wrong. He has dragged himself into a hermeneutic circle and he will never get out of it. When the amendment—which was carried by 530 votes to 13 to become section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013—was tabled, the then Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, the right hon. Member for Basingstoke (Mrs Miller) said:...

Business of the House ( 9 Jun 2016)

Chris Bryant: ...Government are genuine about reform, because the system, frankly, is a monumental waste of time and a fraud on democracy. Can the Leader of the House explain something to me? He has announced the 13 days that are for consideration of private Members’ Bills, but the first one this year is not until 21 October. In previous years, it has always been in September—and early September at...

90TH Birthday of Her Majesty the Queen (21 Apr 2016)

Chris Bryant: ...not read this speech later. The truth is that Her Majesty has had to put up with an awful lot in her time. She has had to suffer a phenomenal stream of politicians—she will be getting another 13 in a few days’ time—and 160 Prime Ministers in all her dominions. Living with change is one of the most difficult things in the world, especially when you are almost powerless yourself to...

Business of the House (14 Apr 2016)

Chris Bryant: ...you are not a millionaire you are a failure, but let me tell them who really achieve something in life. It is the woman who gets up at 4 am to walk two miles to catch the bus to clean a hotel for 13 hours for the minimum wage. It is the widower who does two jobs to make sure he can put food on the table for his children. It is the middle-aged woman who gives up her job to care for her...
