3. Statement by the Minister for Climate Change: Net-zero Commitments (26 Sep 2023)

Julie James: Diolch, Delyth. Who would have thought that you and I would be on the side of Boris Johnson and George Osborne and Janet would be against them? In what world has that come to pass? But that is where we find ourselves, because it turns out that Janet just agrees with whoever the current Prime Minister is, regardless of their policies or their commitments. I really regret that that's what's...

Ukraine - Motion to Take Note (21 Sep 2023)

Earl Attlee: ...so desperately needed? Some time ago, my heart sank when one of David Cameron’s advisers confidently stated that we no longer needed armoured brigades with their expensive armoured battle groups. Boris Johnson said much the same thing about main battle tanks. In the reserves, I was a military logistician, not a teeth arms man. However, I know that a competently led, properly equipped,...

UK-EU Relationship (European Affairs Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (20 Sep 2023)

Lord Lamont of Lerwick: .... It was a seismic event but, having happened, it is in everybody’s interest that we should have as close and co-operative a relationship as possible. It is not a betrayal of Brexit. It was Boris Johnson who said after Brexit that we must concentrate on developing a close and co-operative relationship with Europe. On what basis should that co-operation and collaboration happen? Again, I...

Conference Adjournment (19 Sep 2023)

Marcus Jones: ...to be provided. On London, I just point out that, as I understand it, in his first two terms the current Mayor, Sadiq Khan, provided 7,500 affordable homes per year, whereas his predecessor, Boris Johnson, provided 12,000 per year in his time. So there is a lot more to do and a lot more that can be done to give people housing, particularly in our capital. I hear what the hon. Member for...

4. Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: The Senedd Cymru (Members and Elections) Bill (19 Sep 2023)

Mick Antoniw: ..., but the hypocrisy is when you talk about the costs of improving and developing our democracy. Over the period of time that devolution has existed, 800 unelected life peers have been created. Boris Johnson created 105 life peers during the three years of his Prime Ministership. Liz Truss is recommending two for each of the six weeks she was in Government. And at the same time, you've...

UK Export Performance (18 Sep 2023)

Gareth Thomas: ...debate will tell the House why he thinks other countries of similar wealth and status have been doing better at exporting their goods and services than us. One of last year’s Prime Ministers, Boris Johnson, thought poor export figures were down to a lack of ambition from businesses themselves; I hope the Minister does not share that view. Hidden deep in the last White Paper on trade was...

Northern Ireland Budget (No. 2) Bill - Second Reading (and remaining stages) (14 Sep 2023)

Lord Lexden: .... As the Unionist Party, it would have retained at its very heart an absolutely overriding sense of responsibility for the varied interests of all parts of our union. I think it is unlikely that Mr Boris Johnson would have become leader of an organisation called the Unionist Party, since he cared nothing for the union, as he showed with his infamous betrayal of Northern Ireland four years...

Scottish Parliament: Scottish Government (Freedom of Information Request) (14 Sep 2023)

...to take a lecture about disrespecting Parliament from the Conservatives, who illegally shut down the Parliament. I am meant to take lectures about truth and honesty from the party that gave us Boris Johnson. The difference between myself and Liam Kerr, and between the Scottish National Party and the Conservatives, is that the SNP wants to power our just transition and our offshore...

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill - Report (7th Day) (Continued): Amendment 242 (13 Sep 2023)

Lord Moylan: ...in practice over a lengthy period. It is fair to say that, under the independent and then Labour mayor Ken Livingstone, they were quite often rather scratchy. They improved considerably when Boris Johnson became mayor. I would like to think—if noble Lords would allow me to be a little boastful—that that was because of the number of people working with him who had experience of local...

7. Legislative Consent Motion on the Energy Bill (12 Sep 2023)

Julie James: ...then paused for several months as the UK Government responded to the energy price crisis. The Bill has been developed incorporating the views of various Secretaries of State and Prime Ministers. Boris Johnson resigned as Prime Minister the day after the Bill was introduced into the House of Lords, and we are now on the fourth Secretary of State for this Bill. I have made repeated requests...

Mr Jagtar Singh Johal - Question (12 Sep 2023)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...are now facing huge delays in our own criminal justice system, but six years is a long time to wait for due process. We keep being told this by the Indian authorities—when the issue was raised by Boris Johnson some years back, he was given the same reassurance that there was going to be a trial very soon. Here we are, six years on and there has not been a trial, so not surprisingly the...

Ukraine (11 Sep 2023)

Bob Seely: ...Forces Minister, it is very difficult to argue that we do not have a fantastic strategic relationship, and I am mindful of the fantastic work this Government have done. Indeed, I pay tribute to Boris Johnson. I know he is not popular with some Members, including on the Opposition Front Bench, but he is phenomenally popular in Ukraine, where people still see him as the man who helped to...

Armed Forces - Motion to Take Note ( 7 Sep 2023)

Viscount Trenchard: ...for the artillery, which has been heavily used in Ukraine and whose stockpiles are therefore somewhat depleted. After Putin’s second illegal invasion of Ukraine, my right honourable friend Boris Johnson was quick to respond. We can hold our heads high in the world as a result. The decisive and strong response that the Government took at the time was widely recognised and crucial in...

Access to Broadband Services — [Sir Christopher Chope in the Chair] ( 6 Sep 2023)

Chris Bryant: ...advantages that might come from AI, we need significant broadband speeds as well. It is as vital as water, electricity and gas, as many hon. Members have said. That is why it is depressing that Boris Johnson—I think we are still allowed to refer to him—said in 2019 that the target for full fibre to all was 2025. The target now is just that 85% of premises will have access to...

House Of Lords: Appointments System - Question (19 Jul 2023)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: I remind Conservative Peers that on a current poll basis the Conservatives have exactly twice the poll percentage of public support that we do, so we are not overrepresented. Particularly under Boris Johnson, the Conservatives have broken that agreement. Do the Government not accept that we are now in a position where any change of government would have to be accompanied either by the...

Prime Minister: Engagements (19 Jul 2023)

Barry Sheerman: Does the Prime Minister remember seven years ago, when he was a passionate supporter of leaving the European Union, along with his then best friend, Boris Johnson? Is he aware that Sir John Major now says, in every speech he makes, that that decision was catastrophic for the people of this country and living standards, as well as deeply damaging to our role, status and influence in the world?

Cost of Living: Private rented sector — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] (18 Jul 2023)

Alex Davies-Jones: ...or mould. Colleagues will be aware that the Tory Government promised to ban no-fault evictions in England way back in 2019, three whole Prime Ministers ago. The disgraced former Prime Minister Boris Johnson also promised to ban them, but we are all familiar with his reputation for breaking promises. Of course, the disastrous short-lived tenure of the right hon. Member for South West...

Liaison Committee (17 Jul 2023)

Christopher Chope: ...Chairs meet together to comprise the Liaison Committee. The Liaison Committee is set up under Standing Order No. 145. An appointment was made in this Parliament by the former Member for Uxbridge, Boris Johnson, who as Prime Minister listened sympathetically to representations made by my hon. Friend the Member for Harwich and North Essex (Sir Bernard Jenkin), saying that he had not been...

Automotive Industry (12 Jul 2023)

Matt Western: ...s vernacular over the past few years, as we have heard. Make UK said that, under this Government, we have had a decade of “flip-flopping” on industrial strategy. Do they back business or not? Boris Johnson clearly did not, going by his immortal words. Of course, we had the kamikaze Budget of last autumn. That is all damaging to the way in which the global industry perceives the UK....

Antisocial Behaviour and Off-road Bikes (11 Jul 2023)

Sarah Jones: ...to close. Indeed, it is a great shame that nearly 700 police stations have been closed under this Government. What does that do to a community? Sixty were closed by the previous Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, when he was Mayor of London. Extraordinary figures. Labour will crack down on repeat offenders with our new respect orders. We will introduce new town centre patrols and a mandatory...
