Former Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration: Reports - Question ( 6 Mar 2024)

Lord Sharpe of Epsom: I am afraid I do dispute that characterisation. David Neal had his appointment terminated after he broke the terms of his contract and lost the confidence of the Home Secretary, because he released sensitive and misleading information from unpublished reports, well within the time commitment for publication. The Home Office had therefore not had time to fact-check and redact inappropriate...

1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip: LGBTQ+ Action Plan ( 6 Mar 2024)

Hannah Blythyn: Can I thank Hefin David for not just his interest in this matter, but actually his absolute commitment to this, and the support that he's provided for Sean and for his mother, Sarah, as well? It was a privilege to have the opportunity to meet both of them some time ago now, and I know that you've since followed that up with a letter, and Sean has very helpfully, very kindly shared some of his...

Ways and Means - Financial Statement and Budget Report ( 6 Mar 2024)

Jeremy Hunt: ...East Ham (Sir Stephen Timms), my right hon. Friend the Member for Suffolk Coastal (Dr Coffey) and my hon. Friends the Members for Colchester (Will Quince) and for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner (David Simmonds) among others, I have decided that, with the battle against inflation still not over, now is not the time to stop the targeted help that it offers. We will therefore continue it at...

Energy Rebates: Highlands and Islands — [Ian Paisley in the Chair] ( 6 Mar 2024)

Ian Blackford: ... the right hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr Carmichael) for his remarks. If I may, let me put this is in a slightly broader context. We stand on the cusp of an energy production revolution. David Skilling, in his 2022 report, “The Economic Opportunity for Scotland from Renewable Energy & Green Technology”, talks of a potentially fivefold increase in green energy production from...

Foreign Affairs - Motion to Take Note (Continued) ( 5 Mar 2024)

Lord Collins of Highbury: ...So do the Government have a response to the UN Secretary-General’s call for a global SDG rescue plan, involving international partners, civil society and business? As the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, said, we had a political consensus around development. Sadly, under the direction of Rishi Sunak, we have seen the development target cut from 0.7% to 0.5%. It is not just the size of those cuts...

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

David Honeyford: ...and I will never forget how, after Christmas and the new year, I asked him how he was getting on. He was with us for so many days per week and then at the tech for two. I will never forget what he said. This kid went to grammar school, and he said, "I've passed my first test". He said that that was the first time he had passed an exam since the 11-plus. That was appalling. That kid was...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: School Uniforms: Affordability ( 5 Mar 2024)

Cathy Mason: ...testimonies to him: "I dread July and August coming around every year. It is a time when most people love, but I don't. I struggle to purchase food because of school uniform costs." Another parent said: "I am a full-time nurse and in a good band in the health service, yet I financially and mentally struggle with the costs of school uniform for my children. Work is tough enough without...

Automated Vehicles Bill [Lords] ( 5 Mar 2024)

Gavin Newlands: ...to follow the hon. Member for Milton Keynes South (Iain Stewart), the Chair of the Transport Committee, on which I serve alongside him. He made many good points and I agree with much of what he said. We still have good questions about the Bill on technical details and insurance among other things, which we will undoubtedly cover in great detail in Committee. His final point about bringing...

Farming in Wales and the UK ( 5 Mar 2024)

Jonathan Edwards: .... The turnout was extraordinary and showed the strength of feeling that has erupted over recent weeks. I was listening to the Wales podcast on the BBC on the train down over the weekend, and it said it was the largest demonstration that the Senedd has ever seen. That is testament to the strength of feeling in rural Wales. Although I do not come from farming stock directly, my father and...

Educational Attainment of Boys — [Ian Paisley in the Chair] ( 5 Mar 2024)

Nicholas Fletcher: ...made. One thing that has come through is the importance of family. We put an awful lot on teachers, but I genuinely believe, as my right hon. Friend the Member for Bexleyheath and Crayford (Sir David Evennett) said, that we tend to put too much on teachers a lot of the time. The family is the silver bullet for everything—I genuinely believe that. Unfortunately, we have 2.6 million...

Scottish Parliament: Ferguson Marine ( 5 Mar 2024)

Màiri McAllan: ...dates that the business has provided, and to provide an update on the work that is taking place to ensure a long-term future for the yard.

That process reflects the statutory relationship...

Farming ( 4 Mar 2024)

Jim Shannon: ...all hon. Members to come along to one of our events at 8.30 am on Wednesday 20 March, where they will hear more about eggs, pigs and poultry. Members will be able to do all the things they have said here that they will do and make sure that we can deliver for our farmers. It is a pleasure to see the Minister, the hon. Member for Keighley (Robbie Moore), in his place, and I look forward...

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

David Honeyford: ...be regarded as an afterthought. The cost of the Assembly suspension will be felt this year and every year as the gap grows between pay here and in other regions of the UK — as has already been said about pay for nurses and everyone else — and the massive difference that is now emerging between here and the South. Suspension can never happen again. I echo the comments of my colleague...

Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration ( 4 Mar 2024)

Holly Lynch: ...Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton, raised concerns about Government policy on trafficking and slavery. Her contract was not renewed, and that crucial post was vacant for 16 months. David Neal, as the ICIBI, raised concerns about immigration, and he was sacked. That post will be vacant for months. The Minister has said that independent scrutiny plays an important role, but does...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Opposition Business: Executive Reform ( 4 Mar 2024)

Matthew O'Toole: ...be able to collapse the institutions". Jonathan Buckley's former party leader — I do not know whether he was involved in the defenestration of that particular former party leader — famously said: "It is good to have a bit of fun in the Assembly." — [Official Report (Hansard), Bound Volume 130, p148, col 1]. That is what Jonny was doing when he made a series of bizarre claims that...

Ukraine - Statement (29 Feb 2024)

Lord Collins of Highbury: ...retaken half the territory seized in 2022 and pushed back Russia’s Black Sea fleet—demonstrating the pretence of Putin’s attempt to claim that Russia is winning the war. As Andrew Mitchell said yesterday, “we understate the extent to which Putin is being beaten back”. Although the Russian advance into Avdiivka did take place, those two kilometres cost between 40,000 and 50,000...

Welsh Affairs (29 Feb 2024)

David Davies: ...the Government came up with was not a plan of giving half a billion pounds to fire 3,000 people; the Government were presented with a situation where Tata came in with insolvency practitioners and said, “We are pulling out of the United Kingdom.” Had it done so, it would have cost 8,000 jobs and 12,000 more in the supply chain. The Conservative Government, which I am proud to be...

International Women’s Day: Language in Politics (29 Feb 2024)

Maria Miller: ...in the debates on the Online Safety Bill. Politicians are not delicate flowers, but there can be few people who would be unaffected by having two work colleagues murdered in the last eight years. David and Jo were just going about their work as constituency MPs. We have seen the shift to protesters feeling a legitimate right to camp outside MPs’ homes, and maybe not just outside, and to...

Security of Elected Representatives (29 Feb 2024)

David Mundell: ...police attending demonstrations and the events I am involved in are displaced from attending and supporting the constituents for whom I am here to speak. I fully agree with everything the Minister said, but will he assure us that the deployment of resources to protect us and protect democracy does not displace resources from protecting our constituents, the very people we are here to serve?
