Sioned Williams: .... We would urge the Welsh Government and all Members across the Chamber to support this call by voting for our motion. As the letter from National Energy Action, and signed by 95 organisations, to Rishi Sunak calling for a social tariff states, 'we can expect millions of people in low-income and vulnerable households to suffer many more years living in a cold home, rationing energy, and...
Marie McNair: ...life in Gaza, and it calls on our political leaders to heed the call from 36 human rights experts and take action to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people. Does the minister agree that Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer need to stop prevaricating and demand an immediate ceasefire to bring an end to this massacre?
Stuart McMillan: .... It is sad that Scotland is again at the mercy of poor UK Government decisions that compound the pressures on our public finances and increase the misery that struggling households face. Neither Rishi Sunak nor Keir Starmer will change course from the damaging Westminster policies that got the UK into this mess in the first place. As a result of the UK Government’s disastrous handling...
Rishi Sunak: I welcome you to your place, Madam Deputy Speaker. I know that the whole House wishes Mr Speaker a speedy recovery. Before I answer my hon. Friend’s question, I also know that the whole House will want to join me in offering our condolences to the family and friends of Alistair Darling, Glenys Kinnock and Lord James Douglas-Hamilton. They each made an enormous contribution to public life...

Lord Dodds of Duncairn: ...the DUP that will interpret those tests. As someone referred to previously in the debate, one of the problems we have in this entire situation is the gross overselling of the Windsor Framework by Rishi Sunak. Of course, he attempted to tell us what was in the seven tests and how they were fulfilled. It is a great pleasure to support the regret Motion in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady...
Yvette Cooper: ...that were lower than the Migration Advisory Committee originally proposed, and to not update them for years. As Chancellor and then as Prime Minister, the right hon. Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Rishi Sunak) repeatedly blocked proposals to tighten the rules, including in May this year, and including when the Government refused Labour’s calls to end the unfair 20% discount. They...
Shona Robison: What Douglas Ross did not refer to was the fact that the poll found that 72 per cent were dissatisfied with Rishi Sunak’s performance as Prime Minister and that 54 per cent of people support independence for Scotland. Michael Matheson is getting on with the job of being health secretary ahead of what is expected to be a challenging winter for the health service. If Douglas Ross cared at all...
Lord Londesborough: ...this year than we will spend on the Department for Education’s entire budget. We are still waiting for per-pupil funding to return to 2010 levels, in real terms—a pledge, incidentally, that Rishi Sunak made several years ago as Chancellor. We now have 9 million adults in England who have low basic literacy and numeracy skills. That is a huge productivity blocker in itself. At the other...

Rishi Sunak: This morning, I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have other such meetings later today.
Patrick Harvie: ...our plans to cope with what people can realistically afford—but look through the implications of the UK Government climbdown on climate a couple of months ago. Some of the direct impacts from Rishi Sunak’s bizarre speech announcing the scrapping of climate action will be felt more significantly in England. However, we already see the UK slipping down the league table of green...
Rishi Sunak: Searches by my Office have not identified such correspondence. If the hon. Member would like to provide a copy, my Office will arrange for a reply to be sent.
Lord Collins of Highbury: ...development. To their credit, David Cameron and George Osborne sustained that commitment, keeping Britain on the path to 0.7% that Labour had set this country on. However, under the direction of Rishi Sunak, this Government retreated from Britain’s commitments, cutting our development target from 0.7% to 0.5%, and stripped billions from vital aid programmes in that process. I have...
Gareth Davies: ...also been reports of fax machines in use and various tools that are not in keeping with a twenty-first century health service. After the AI safety summit, which was chaired by our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, it is important we recognise the danger that artificial intelligence could pose and the importance of the government's responsibility to mitigate the harmful effects of AI. The...
Rishi Sunak: I know the thoughts of the whole House will be with the families and friends of the four teenagers who died in a car accident in north Wales. I am sure we will touch on it later, but let me just say that we welcome the agreement reached overnight for a humanitarian pause in Gaza. This is something that we have pushed for consistently and is a crucial step towards ending the nightmare for the...
Lord Vaizey of Didcot: ...friend was joining your Lordships’ House, I had a bitter-sweet reaction: I was overjoyed that he was joining our House, but I was then fed up with the endless WhatsApps from people asking why Rishi Sunak had not asked me to join his Government. Normally, this House sits out the heady 24 hours of a reshuffle. My noble friend is joining an absolutely first-class Front Bench. I said to my...
