Drew Hendry: ...holodomor and to get action on recognising it as a genocide as a result of this debate because, as she pointed out, the UK Government’s position on this is—let us be delicate about it—out of date, to say the least. They need to change that, but I will come to that in a moment or two. The hon. Lady talked about how important this is for Ukraine’s identity, a theme that will...

Energy Suppliers: Customer Credit — [Mr Clive Betts in the Chair] (22 Feb 2023)

Drew Hendry: .... I will return to this issue, because it is an important factor in the way these companies work with people’s money.

Drew Hendry: ...six-month rule and make life a little easier for folk who do not have long to live—or even to get their forms in—so they can receive support and advice.

The moral imperative is, and always was, to just do the right and...

Drew Hendry: ...having to pay £2,000 per year now —as we know, it will be more—those off the gas grid will have to pay £4,416, according to the most recent calculation.

Exiting the European Union (Merchant Shipping) (10 Nov 2020)

Drew Hendry: As we have already heard, while Northern Ireland will continue to operate ship recycling facilities that can accommodate EU vessels, the other nations of the UK get no such assurances. Scotland will be doubly disadvantaged now due to that and Westminster’s historic failure on ship dismantling. I will come on to more of that in a moment. Regulatory de-alignment of the rest of the UK is...

Net Zero Emissions Target (12 Jun 2019)

Drew Hendry: ...to follow the Scottish Government by including aviation and shipping in the targets, but why not have the ambition to match the Scottish Government’s emissions plan? In Scotland the target date for zero net emissions is 2045 rather than 2050, and the carbon-neutral target date is 2040. So let us see if we can step up that ambition. Even before the actions contained in Scotland’s...

EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts ( 5 Mar 2019)

Drew Hendry: ...risks still exist? Is it not the case that any other individual working on a business deal would have been sacked by now for wasting the amount of money the Secretary of State has wasted to date?

Nuclear Safeguards Bill: Agreements required before withdrawal ( 8 May 2018)

Drew Hendry: ...are transparent on this issue now, because so much is at stake for people. In conclusion, we have been advised that a deal has been struck with the USA, but will the Minister provide an update on the other agreements that need to be in place before the UK exits Euratom?

Point of Order: [Day 1] (14 Mar 2018)

Drew Hendry: ...City of Chester (Christian Matheson) spoke about—and again urged the UK Government, as I will, to engage meaningfully with the devolved Administrations. It can still be done, even at this late date. Everybody is getting a bit frustrated by the idea that a bespoke agreement is going to be magically produced here.
