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

Deirdre Hargey: ...regressive policies. When we look back over the past 10-plus years, we have witnessed a number of societal shocks: the impact of the financial crash, Cameron and Osborne's Tory austerity policies, Brexit, COVID, global events and the cost-of-profit crisis. When you look at all those shocks, some of which were deliberate policy and political choices, you see the impact that they have on...

Written Answers — Treasury: Beer and Cider: Excise Duties ( 4 Mar 2024)

Gareth Davies: ...in the duty on draught beer and cider by 9.2% and helps to level the playing field between pubs and supermarkets, allowing pubs and brewers to price their on-trade products more competitively. The Brexit Pubs Guarantee ensures that draught products will always be subject to lower duty than their supermarket equivalent. The Government is closely monitoring the impact of the recent reforms...

Prayers - [Mr Speaker in the Chair] : Conversion Practices (Prohibition) Bill — [Mr Speaker in the Chair] ( 1 Mar 2024)

Elliot Colburn: ...: this is the first time we are debating a Bill. We have failed because we have taken five years to arrive at a position where we can actually debate legislation. That is the failure. We passed Brexit faster than we have discussed this!

Alternative Investment Fund Designation Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 1 Mar 2024)

Lord Hannan of Kingsclere: ...exploring whether just to break it and pay the fine and call that a fee. We think that that may be less intrusive than having to assimilate the compliance costs”. I assumed that, the day after Brexit, this would be at the top of the list of the measures to be axed, since it had literally no support. In fact, I had assumed—rather innocently and naively, I now see—that the first...

Welsh Affairs (29 Feb 2024)

David Davies: ...to come in—the electric arc furnace, and the £1 billion project to electrify the north Wales coast main line. The Government have been doing an enormous amount to put money into Wales. Following Brexit, the Government promised that farmers would not lose out by one single penny as a result of our leaving the European Union. We calculated what agriculture was getting during the last...

Business of the House (29 Feb 2024)

Deidre Brock: ...their tactics—all because the SNP wanted to debate an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. People might ask why I am not tackling the Leader of the House today on her Government’s economic policies, Brexit or child poverty. We will return to our normal business questions exchanges of course, but at the core of our work as MPs is that all Members and parties must be treated fairly, and seen to...

Scottish Parliament: Public Finances (Impact of Recession) (29 Feb 2024)

Jackie Dunbar: It is clear that economically illiterate Westminster policies, including Brexit, austerity cuts and cutting labour force migration in key industries, have set the UK on the path to long-term decline. It is vital that future action is taken to support families who are facing financial pressures at this difficult time. We know that most of the powers to tackle poverty and the cost of living...

Scottish Parliament: Schools (Foreign Languages) (29 Feb 2024)

Rona Mackay: We know that experiences abroad can be of huge benefit to learning a foreign language. However, because of Brexit, many students are losing out on that opportunity because of the loss of the Erasmus programme. How will students be supported to study abroad in lieu of Erasmus?

Scottish Parliament: National Care Service (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1 (29 Feb 2024)

Ivan McKee: ...that in advance of the bill. That increase and future increases towards £15 per hour will help to tackle the sector’s major challenges in recruitment and retention, notwithstanding the impact of Brexit, immigration restrictions and the lack of devolution of immigration to Scotland, which have significantly hampered the sector. We all recognise that that pay rate and the taking forward...

Cabinet Office: Topical Questions (29 Feb 2024)

Mick Whitley: ...expect the civil service to function effectively for the public if the Government go ahead with headcount cuts of up to 70,000, which aim to return civil service numbers to pre-pandemic and pre-Brexit levels, and which will mean a huge loss of expertise and knowledge? What discussions has he had with trade unions about these proposals?

Media Bill - Second Reading: Amendment to the Motion (28 Feb 2024)

Lord Inglewood: ...that we are dealing with and the extent of it—we have recently discussed in this House digital markets, this Bill, data protection and artificial intelligence—occur within the context of Brexit repatriating to this country a significant amount of regulation that was previously dealt with at European level, which is an unnoticed aspect of this. The effect is that all these things are...

6. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Sustainable Farming Scheme (28 Feb 2024)

Alun Davies: ...to solve the problems of the future. And we can do that.  And you know, there are enormous issues facing agriculture today, and I think farmers have been let down. I think they were let down by a Brexit that created enormous barriers to trade with our greatest markets. I saw UK Ministers going to negotiate reductions in CAP budgets—they were supported by Liberal Democrats at the time....

5. Debate on the Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport and International Relations Committee Report, 'International Relations: Annual Report 2022-23' (28 Feb 2024)

Delyth Jewell: ...we offer to the world. She alluded to her experience in Ghana, how at times we might be seen from the outside. Carolyn spoke about some of what we are uncovering again in our inquiry relating to Brexit and cultural institutions, which Alun had also referred to. Wales has led the way as a nation. The global footprint of Wales, the global challenges that we face together, like climate...

Brain Tumours (28 Feb 2024)

Siobhain McDonagh: ...directly refer patients straight to A&E for a scan without going through their GP. On Monday I met the Anticancer Fund, which is based in Brussels, and I think I have discovered the one benefit of Brexit. Brexit means that the NHS medicines repurposing programme has been able to identify drugs that were initially purposed to cure another cancer, and that is exactly what we need to tackle...

Defence Acquisition Reform (28 Feb 2024)

Martyn Day: ...guarantee that we will able to meet the requirement for essential contributions to both NATO and Ukraine during this time of conflict? Also missing from the statement were any details of the post-Brexit defence sector labour shortages—how do the Government plan to address those shortages in order to support the sector?—and any reference to parliamentary scrutiny, especially with regard...

Prime Minister: Engagements (28 Feb 2024)

Rishi Sunak: I welcome the hon. Gentleman’s support for the freeport. We are taking advantage of our Brexit opportunities to deliver two freeports in Scotland to attract jobs and investment in the industries of the future. With regard to infrastructure investment, not only do we provide the tax benefits for a freeport but £25 million of seed funding is available to the freeport, in discussions with the...

Northern Ireland - Motion for an Humble Address: Amendment to the Motion (27 Feb 2024)

Baroness Suttie: ...benign, almost school-teachery way. I found myself agreeing with him rather more often than I would have expected, as we would nod to one another during some of the debates on Northern Ireland and Brexit. His contributions were based on experience and common sense and were always extremely well judged. He will be sorely missed. I, too, from these Benches pass on our condolences to his...

BBC News Impartiality: Government's Role — [Hannah Bardell in the Chair] (27 Feb 2024)

Adam Holloway: I, too, am concerned about the BBC’s persistent failure to fulfil its legal obligation to be impartial. We saw this with Brexit. To give an example, News-watch, which is an independent monitoring organisation run by a former BBC producer, said that, on Europe, there were twice as many remainers as pro-Brexit speakers, with an even greater imbalance in the amount of time people had to speak,...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Oral Answers to Questions — Finance: Non-domestic Rates: Consultation (27 Feb 2024)

Jonathan Buckley: ...regarding the non-domestic rates measures, particularly that of industrial derating. Many in our manufacturing sector have suffered greatly due to rising energy and staff costs and, indeed, post-Brexit trading conditions. Is the Minister aware of those concerns, and what can she do to mitigate them?
