National Networks National Policy Statement (26 Mar 2024)

Guy Opperman: ...place, neither is it a transport strategy governing wider transport policies, such as active travel. The existing NNNPS was designated in 2015, and approximately 30 road, rail and SRFI schemes have gained consent since then. The draft NNNPS was subject to public consultation. Alongside that, the Transport Committee, led by my hon. Friend the Member for Milton Keynes South (Iain Stewart),...

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill - Third Reading: Motion (12 Mar 2024)

Lord Sharpe of Epsom: ...in the view that we need to stop the boats. We need to prevent the tragic loss of lives at sea and bring to an end the horrid trade of the criminal gangs who are exploiting people for financial gain. Where there is disagreement is on the means by which we can achieve that and the strength of our desire to carry out the will of the British public—to control our border and tackle this...

Mortgages (Switching) (11 Mar 2024)

Martin Docherty: ...are aware of the difficult situation facing mortgage prisoners and would be taking action, yet last week the Chancellor failed to introduce measures to tackle the issue. It is scandalous that, yet again, the spring Budget has ignored the plight of tens of thousands of individuals and families unfairly trapped on crippling mortgage rates. As the UK Government sit on their hands, having made...

Scottish Parliament: International Women’s Day ( 7 Mar 2024)

Pauline McNeill: ...all the speeches this afternoon, and I am pleased that some men are still joining us to speak, because it is important to all women that men speak in such debates. I also congratulate Kaukab Stewart, the first woman of colour in her post. As members can see, she is already getting under way with very serious work, and I fully support the programmes that the minister outlined today, which...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Apprenticeships ( 5 Mar 2024)

Stewart Dickson: ...and skills. Furthermore, in our view, the apprenticeship wage is inadequate. In a cost-of-living crisis, it is impossible to envisage a person living on such a low wage, even though they are gaining valuable skills along the way. In closing, I offer my appreciation to our apprentices: those who are in training today, those who will be in training in future and those who have been trained...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Opposition Business: Public-sector Pay ( 4 Mar 2024)

Caoimhe Archibald: ...an Executive. That funding, along with the £380 million for departmental overspends, has now been provided as a total resource departmental expenditure limit (DEL) allocation for each Department. Gaining Executive agreement to those departmental allocations meant that Departments could immediately begin to take forward negotiations to agree public-sector pay awards for 2023-24. Providing...

Scottish Parliament: European Union (30 Jan 2024)

Angus Robertson: I noticed that Alexander Stewart was not prepared to reflect on the relative economic decline of Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom, as clearly demonstrated by the Financial Times . That is a great shame, because it is there for everybody else to see. On Scotland’s opportunities, I have made the point in answers to others that the single European market is significantly larger than...

Afghanistan: UK Government Policy — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] (10 Jan 2024)

Tobias Ellwood: ...are dispersed by gunshots. Only a few days ago, that happened again in Kabul. It is just one example of how the Taliban are rowing back on the initial assurances given to women and girls when they gained power. The latest example is denying schooling to 11-year-olds, preventing 11-year-old girls from going to school, and preventing women from working in certain trades. Such diktats offer...

Scottish Parliament: Female Participation in Sport and Physical Activity (28 Nov 2023)

Kaukab Stewart: ...days about in spirational female hero sporting stars—in particular, female footballers—so I take the opportunity to acknowledge the success of the Scotland women’s team, which has recently gained growing support. It qualified for the 2019 world cup, whereas the last time the men’s team qualified for a world cup tournament was in 1998. Women’s football in Scotland is not a new...

Scottish Parliament: Cashback for Communities ( 8 Nov 2023)

Pauline McNeill: ...introduced by a Labour Government, as Carol Mochan pointed out, and has been continued by the current Scottish Government, and it is unique to Scotland. We should all be proud of returning money gained through criminal activity back to communities through targeted investment for the purpose of preventing antisocial behaviour. Doing so supports wellbeing, builds confidence and skills for...

Scottish Parliament: Asylum Seekers (Free Bus Travel) (26 Oct 2023)

Kaukab Stewart: ...committee wrote to the UK Government’s Minister for Immigration, Robert Jenrick MP, inviting him to give evidence to us, but no reply was received. That is disrespectful, to say the least. Once again, it falls to the Scottish Government to mitigate the situation. We in the Scottish Parliament can provide action to back up our message of welcome and support for asylum seekers. What I say...

Scottish Parliament: Equality within the 2023-24 Programme for Government ( 6 Sep 2023)

Kevin Stewart: ...and public sector partners, has been on the go for a decade. It provides apprenticeships for learning disabled people, which has successfully seen many folk get jobs, have more fulfilling lives and gain their independence. We should be doing more to encourage such projects throughout our country to bring new talent to our workforce. Equality, opportunity and community are the key goals in...

Scottish Parliament: World Asthma Day 2023 (15 Jun 2023)

Jenni Minto: ...debate on behalf of the Scottish Government. I know how much work Emma Harper does regarding asthma and respiratory diseases and as part of the cross-party group that she co-chairs with Alexander Stewart. I had the pleasure of joining the group at one of its round-table meetings one evening, and it was great to hear the choir, with members from Leith and across Edinburgh, sing as part of...

Autonomous Last-mile Delivery (23 May 2023)

Jesse Norman: ...is a technology that potentially sits alongside self-driving technologies. Again, that needs to be conducted with road safety as a key consideration. We therefore need to factor in both sides—the gains and the potential drawbacks—and proceed in a careful, consistent and carefully thought-through way, and that is what the Department is doing. Let me reassure Members that the need for...

Scottish Parliament: Scotland’s Finances and Wellbeing Economy (19 Apr 2023)

Michelle Thomson: I welcome Neil Gray to his new role. It was a pleasure to hear from my colleague Ivan McKee, who delivered thought leadership at the rate of a Gatling gun. His presence here is the back benches’ gain. In our document written for Common Weal, we comment on the complexity of a wellbeing economic system and how multiple areas interrelate, not just in policy but through multiple lenses. We know...

Finance (No. 2) Bill (29 Mar 2023)

James Cartlidge: The hon. Lady knows why we need a staggered implementation, and I will return to that point. At the beginning of his speech, the right hon. Member for Dundee East (Stewart Hosie) referred to our progress, or lack of progress as he sees it, on reducing debt, before setting out a load of spending requests and demands for more support. He wants more energy support and more support with the cost...

Fuel Costs: Rural Households and Communities: Unpaid Work Trials (29 Mar 2023)

Stewart McDonald: ...or, worse, fake work trials for jobs that do not even exist. I will end with the example of a young Glasgow student, Ellen Reynolds, who petitioned Parliament a few years ago. She successfully gained the number of signatures required to have a debate in Westminster Hall on an unpaid trial shift that she was asked to take part in. There was no guarantee of a job at the end of it and she...

Scottish Parliament: Employment Support for Veterans and their Families (23 Mar 2023)

Keith Brown: Alexander Stewart has raised the issue, so I will mention that a shocking number of members of the armed forces access universal credit. That should simply not be the case. We should pay members of the armed forces enough so that they do not have to access benefits. That is crucial, because universal credit is often a passport to other benefits. If that is the problem to which Alexander...

Ukraine (20 Feb 2023)

Boris Johnson: ...,000 injured. In the areas that he has occupied in Ukraine, he has created a new Flanders Fields of mud, trenches and blasted trees, where months of high-intensity shelling and bloodshed produced gains that could be measured in yards. He has been forced to such desperate expedients as sending to the front prisoners or terrified members of ethnic minorities recruited from remote provinces....
