Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: ...ABX, the Antibiotic Discovery Accelerator Network. On 10 July, the papers were reporting that we were about to sign Horizon, which I told them. Then, on 11 July, I had to say, “No, apparently Rishi Sunak has kiboshed it, so it’s off”. Can the Minister therefore say whether the Government will put in extra resources and support to ensure that the scientific community is in fact able...
Rishi Sunak: Details of my future official visits will be announced in the usual way.

Rishi Sunak: I would like to start by congratulating Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses on their fantastic performance at the World cup. We are all incredibly proud of them. I also know that the whole House will join me in sending condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Sergeant Graham Saville. It is testament to his bravery that he died in the line of duty, and a terrible reminder of the work...
Rishi Sunak: As Prime Minister I visit all parts of the United Kingdom. My last official visit to Wales was on 22 - 23 March when I was delighted to announce, on a joint visit with the First Minister, that Anglesey Freeport and Celtic Freeport had been successful in their bids to establish new Freeports - backed by up to £26 million each in UK Government funding, and expected to bring forward an...
Thangam Debbonaire: To ask the Leader of the House, how many oral statements the Rt Hon Member for Richmond (Yorks) has made to the House of Commons in each of the last five years.
Rishi Sunak: The ban on LGBT people serving in our military until the year 2000 was an appalling failure of the British state—it was decades behind the law of this land. As today’s report makes clear, in that period many endured the most horrific sexual abuse and violence, homophobic bullying and harassment, all while bravely serving this country. Today, on behalf of the British state, I apologise,...
Bridget Phillipson: ...of a successful university course, based on earnings, is not just narrow but limiting. I ask the Secretary of State briefly to consider the case of the right hon. Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Rishi Sunak). The Prime Minister has a degree in politics from one of our leading universities, yet his Government lost control of almost 50 councils this year, he was the second choice of his own...
Rishi Sunak: I thank the right hon. and learned Gentleman, although it is a bit rich to attack me for missing Prime Minister’s Question Time and then say that he wanted me to attend the NATO summit. [Interruption.]
Rishi Sunak: I refer the hon. Member to the answer of 13 December 2022, PQ 102991.
Rishi Sunak: The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament (ISC) has today laid before Parliament a report examining the threat posed by the Chinese authorities and the United Kingdom’s response. I welcome the report and thank the committee for its efforts. China poses an epoch-defining challenge to the international order. Under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) it is becoming more...
Janet Finch-Saunders: ...said. We've actually used a lot of Plenary time talking about the devolution of the Crown Estate. Llywydd, can I just make it clear here that our Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, has made it clear that there will be no further devolution of power for Wales? As Rishi has said, people do not want more constitutional reform and 'constitutional tinkering'....
Jayne Bryant: ...on low incomes, no relief in sight for homeowners or renters, and no relief in sight for an economy being battered by inflation and the impact of Brexit, Prif Weinidog, what hope can Jeremy Hunt or Rishi Sunak possibly offer people in my constituency paying the price of the UK Government’s failure? Because that is a national scandal.
Lord Lipsey: .... We say in our report that the Government have been complacent. I cannot help but think there is a bit of a paradox here: you can hardly pick up a newspaper now without a picture of a grinning Rishi Sunak in white overalls and black protective goggles proclaiming that Britain’s future lies in the creative industries. Meanwhile, the reality is, in our report’s words, a “lack of...
Huw Irranca-Davies: ...in the contribution you're making today. But I just want to flag up as well that today there's been an interesting letter that's been sent to the leaders of the political parties in the UK, and to Rishi Sunak as well, pointing out the challenges—[Interruption.] Exactly. But they do note in that letter that the NHS has endured a decade of underinvestment compared to the historic average,...
Michael Gove: ...are a crucial part of levelling up, and are designed to deliver economic growth, more high skill jobs, investment, and future opportunities for local people – a key priority for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The UK and Scottish Governments have jointly announced that there will be two Investment Zones in Scotland and that the Glasgow City Region and North East of Scotland regions offer the...
Baroness Penn: ...were a subject of great interest at the G7 recently hosted by Japan. He is absolutely right that Japan is a like-minded partner, and we value our relationship deeply. That is why the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida recently signed the Hiroshima accord on 18 May, which includes new agreements on defence, trade and investment and science and technology...

Rishi Sunak: Today, we will have the Second Reading of the Holocaust Memorial Bill. For decades, survivors such as the late Sir Ben Helfgott showed extraordinary courage in sharing their testimonies so that we would never forget. I hope the whole House will unite today to get this Bill through and put those testimonies at the heart of our democracy for generations to come. This morning, I had meetings...
