Animal Testing — [Julie Elliott in the Chair] (25 Oct 2021)

George Freeman: ..., that I take this issue very seriously, and I will explain my background in the sector. I echo the comments made by a number of Opposition colleagues: if we are to provide a legacy for Sir David Amess, we ought to come together on this issue. I welcome the tone of everybody’s contributions, in particular that of the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Newport West (Ruth Jones), which...

Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Building Safety (25 Oct 2021)

Lucy Powell: First, let me pay my respects to Sir David Amess. He was a tireless campaigner for building and fire safety, chairing the exceptional all-party parliamentary group on the subject. I last met him only a few weeks ago to discuss the omissions in the Building Safety Bill. His loss will be greatly felt in these crunch weeks of the Bill’s passage. I also welcome the new Secretary of State to his...

World Menopause Month (21 Oct 2021)

Nigel Evans: They don’t come more fabulous than you, Carolyn. Congratulations to everyone on taking part in the debate. I am really pleased that Sir David Amess was mentioned today. I am absolutely certain that, had the tragedy not happened, he would have been here today cheering you all on. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered World Menopause Month.

Integrity of Electoral Processes - Question for Short Debate (21 Oct 2021)

Lord Tyler: My Lords, at the outset, I want to pay tribute from my own personal experience to Sir David Amess. He was a truly honourable Member, and I appreciate enormously his family’s call for more co-operation and working together. That is something I have tried to do throughout my 30 years in this Parliament. It is perhaps sad but necessary to start by taking note of the deterioration in the public...

Business of the House (21 Oct 2021)

Jacob Rees-Mogg: ...what once happened, the House will not be sitting. May I, at the end of my statement, Madam Deputy Speaker, by your leave, add words of tribute to our hon. and right hon. Friends, Sir David Amess and James Brokenshire? They have had tributes paid to them already, but they are so sadly missed by this House. David Amess was one of the most regular contributors to business questions. I have...

International Trade: Trade Deals: Human Rights (21 Oct 2021)

Anne-Marie Trevelyan: I and my whole team would like to associate ourselves with the tributes to Sir David Amess that have been made this week. He was listed on the Order Paper for today’s oral questions and I have no doubt that he would have championed the export opportunities for Southend, our newest city. The Government are clear that more trade will not come at the expense of human rights. The UK will...

International Trade: British Farmers: Global Exports (21 Oct 2021)

Emily Thornberry: Let me begin by welcoming the Secretary of State to her new role. May I associate myself with the remarks that she made about the late David Amess. He was an enthusiastic and lively participant in International Trade questions, as he was with everything that he turned his mind to. I also look forward to studying the Secretary of State’s response to the Trade and Agriculture Commission...

International Trade: Trade Envoys (21 Oct 2021)

Drew Hendry: I also welcome the ministerial team to their place, and I echo the comments over the tragic loss of our parliamentary friend and colleague, Sir David Amess. It was a senseless act. Far from promoting Scottish exports, new documents from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs show that for the period ending June 2021, Scottish exports had decreased by 14% from the previous year. That is not a...

International Trade: Topical Questions (21 Oct 2021)

Kerry McCarthy: Sir David Amess was due to ask a question today and I suspect that, as chair of the all-party British-Maldives parliamentary group, he would have reiterated previous questions about support for the very sustainable fishing industry there. As part of the all-party group on small island developing states, which includes the Maldives, I therefore feel honour-bound to pursue that cause on his...

Security Update (20 Oct 2021)

Priti Patel: ..., as well for as his question. This has been a sombre week for all of us in this House —it really has. We have lost colleagues through the most appalling attacks, first Jo Cox, and then Sir David Amess. It is not for us to be publicly discussing security measures at all. As the House has already heard me say, I urge all hon. Members, for the sake of protecting the public, our staff and...

4. Questions to the Senedd Commission: Mental Health Support for Employees (20 Oct 2021)

Jack Sargeant: ...that I wish to see, and many others in this Chamber wish to see. It was last Friday when we saw the horrific attack—and our thoughts are with the family and friends and colleagues of Sir David Amess, of course—and then it was just yesterday when we saw Michael Gove abused by an aggressive mob in the street. I send my warmest regards to him, and I do wish him well. But it's not just...

Environment Bill: Before Clause 1 - Purpose and declaration of biodiversity and climate emergency (20 Oct 2021)

Nigel Evans: I thank the hon. Lady for her earlier comments about Sir David Amess and James Brokenshire. I have not had an opportunity to say anything, but in my 29 and a half years in politics, this has been one of the toughest weeks for Parliament. I know we will all miss both Sir David and James, as we loved them so dearly. Thank you for your comments—I appreciate that.

Access to Cash — [Mrs Maria Miller in the Chair] (20 Oct 2021)

Alex Davies-Jones: ...access to cash. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Miller. Given recent events, I feel it is important to take a moment to pay tribute to our wonderful colleague, Sir David Amess, who was a regular contributor to Westminster Hall debates. His presence here will forever be missed. I am pleased to have secured this debate, particularly as our ability to physically access...

Speaker's Statement: James Brokenshire (20 Oct 2021)

David Mundell: ...period that he was so grateful for; he wanted to convey that and said it had sustained him in some of the most difficult times. The final point I want to make is that I was actually with Sir David Amess in Qatar when we heard the news of James’s passing. David really was very upset by that news and was effusive in his tributes to James. I am sure that if he had been in the Chamber today,...

Artificial Intelligence (20 Oct 2021)

George Freeman: ...for Don Valley (Nick Fletcher), who has done his constituency and constituents a service by raising these important issues, and in exactly the spirit of our late and lamented colleague, Sir David Amess. We need in this place constituency MPs who speak for the fears, worries, anxieties and concerns of their constituencies, as my hon. Friend eloquently has. I hope to address some, if not...

AUKUS: Impact on Anglo-Chinese Relations — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] (20 Oct 2021)

Amanda Milling: Thank you, Mr Davies. You are absolutely right that David Amess will be sorely missed by everyone in the House. I, too, put on the record my sincerest condolences to his family. We are thinking of them at this really difficult time. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Davies, and I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham (Daniel Kawczynski) for...

Prime Minister: Engagements (20 Oct 2021)

Rachael Maskell: David Amess and James Brokenshire were both tragically taken from us. Both served this place with integrity and served their constituents well. As we offer our heartfelt love and prayers to their families, their families have offered us a new path to a new politics, built on kindness and love. Sarah Everard and Claudia Lawrence were both from York. Right now, women are feeling unsafe—many...

Greenbelt: Local Plans: High Streets (19 Oct 2021)

Stephanie Peacock: I send my condolences, and those of the people whom I represent in Barnsley, to the family, friends and constituents of Sir David Amess. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Nokes. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Lewisham East (Janet Daby) on securing this important debate. Our high streets have had a difficult 18 months. As footfall recovers, we need to look more...

Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action: Iran (19 Oct 2021)

Wayne David: It is a real pleasure to serve under your chairpersonship, Ms Nokes. I had hoped to speak yesterday about Sir David Amess. He was a man of great knowledge and experience, and he had a great interest in this area. I got to know him very well during the last few days of his life. He was a very decent and honourable man, and we all regret his passing. I congratulate the right hon. Member for...

Tributes to Sir David Amess MP (19 Oct 2021)

Adam Price: Diolch, Llywydd. The death of Sir David Amess has cast the darkest cloud over our democracy, but we can remember him with fondness and warmth, because, everywhere he went, David brought light. He was the very symbol of what a parliamentarian should be—a man of deep principle but with the broadest of affection, a strong conviction but with a kind heart, who died as he lived, listening to the...
