Israel-Hamas War: Diplomacy (11 Dec 2023)

Andy McDonald: Israeli Defence Minister Gallant has been reported as saying that, “Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything”, and that, “We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.” He is not the only Israeli political leader to make such dehumanising statements. All the while, war crimes are inarguably being committed by Israeli forces, who have killed close...

Ministry of Defence: Equipment Plan - Question ( 7 Dec 2023)

Baroness Garden of Frognal: ...around some interesting figures: the noble Lord, Lord Coaker, mentioned £16.9 billion, while I picked up £7.6 billion and £29.8 billion—obviously, precision is our watchword. The noble and gallant Lord, Lord Stirrup, picked up the very alarming word “Unknown” for the costs and, where they are known, they are deemed to be “unaffordable”. This is not a good projection. Can the...

Taliban Relations and Afghan Refugees - Question ( 5 Dec 2023)

Lord Browne of Ladyton: ...444 applicants were rejected and are in Pakistan, fearing imminent deportation and a death sentence. Will the Foreign Secretary agree to meet with me and a delegation of noble Lords and noble and gallant Lords and Baronesses so that we can explain the compelling case for an urgent review of the rejected or rescinded approvals of their settlement applications?

Middle East: UK Military Deployments ( 5 Dec 2023)

Grant Shapps: ...repeatedly, it is important that Israel should adhere to international humanitarian law. I will be making that point publicly and have made that point all along to my Israeli counterpart, Minister Gallant. I wonder why, however, the concern is not about the hostages who are being held and how this situation could be brought to a conclusion much faster if they were released.

Child Labour and Artisanal Cobalt Mining in the DRC - Question (30 Nov 2023)

Lord Benyon: This is a massive issue, and I thank the noble and gallant Lord for raising it. The integrated review refresh looked at this. We must make sure that our economy can get what it needs in order to provide for our own needs and so that we can benefit the rest of the world. We cannot look at the security of this nation without looking at supply chains. With a country such as the Democratic...

Criminal Justice Bill (28 Nov 2023)

Caroline Ansell: I thank my right hon. and gallant Friend for his question. I cannot explain the increase in Eastbourne, but I imagine that the increase is across the land. There will be an increase and an uptick because it has been found to be a very effective way for criminal gangs to operate, and they move from home to home to evade detection. It is an absolutely vile crime, but one that clearly lends...

Veterans Welfare Services (21 Nov 2023)

Matthew Offord: I welcome the statement, but not as much as I welcome my right hon. and gallant Friend’s role and his enthusiasm to continue to undertake it. That role did not exist under previous Administrations. We all know there is nothing worse than seeing a veteran on the street begging. Recently, I came across a man called Danny at Edgware Road tube station and he was indeed begging. I wrote to the...

Scottish Parliament: Situation in the Middle East (21 Nov 2023)

Pauline McNeill: ...to wipe out an entire population. Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister of Israel, said that it is an “entire nation” that is responsible for the Hamas attacks. The Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said: “We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.” Heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu said that one of the possibilities was to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza, and that anyone...

NHS: General Medical Practitioners - Question (20 Nov 2023)

Lord Evans of Rainow: The noble and gallant Lord raises a very important point. The delivery plan for recovering access is backed by a major investment in primary care services, up to £645 million over two years, to expand services such as community pharmacies. Getting more people to use community pharmacies and other such facilities enables GPs to focus on exactly what the noble and gallant Lord is talking...

King’s Speech - Debate (6th Day) (15 Nov 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: ...will be on that very issue. That underlines our growing strength around the world; the commitment we have shown to ASEAN, with a specific designated ambassador, was also acknowledged. The noble and gallant Lord, Lord Peach, reflected on the Government’s integrated review refresh. It is important that we continue to focus across the piece as a player in development. I say to the noble...

King’s Speech - Debate (4th Day) (13 Nov 2023)

Viscount Trenchard: ...no time to lose, as was well illustrated by my noble friends Lord Bridges, Lady Noakes and Lord Altrincham in their powerful speeches. I welcome the Government’s commitment to invest more in our gallant Armed Forces. I hope my noble friend will explain in her winding-up speech how the rather lacklustre programme outlined in the gracious Speech will bring about the desperately needed...

Pakistan: Evacuation of Afghans - Commons Urgent Question ( 9 Nov 2023)

Lord Browne of Ladyton: My Lords, on 18 October, during the Question of the noble Baroness, Lady Coussins, on the ARAP scheme, I and the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Stirrup, raised the need for an urgent review of the rejected or rescinded approvals of settlement applications of members of the Afghanistan Commando Force 333. I understand that some of these applicants sought refuge in Pakistan, and their forced...

King’s Speech ( 7 Nov 2023)

Lindsay Hoyle: ...Channel crossings and ensure it is the government, not criminal gangs, who decides who comes to this country. My Government will continue to champion security around the world, to invest in our gallant Armed Forces and to support veterans to whom so much is owed. My Ministers will work closely with international partners to support Ukraine, strengthen NATO and address the most pressing...

Prorogation: His Majesty’s Speech (26 Oct 2023)

...response to Russia’s illegal invasion and has demonstrated the United Kingdom’s continued commitment to the NATO alliance. My Ministers have made record investment in defence in support of our gallant Armed Forces and updated the integrated review of security, defence, development and foreign policy to reflect the new challenges posed by growing volatility on the global stage. New...

His Majesty’s Most Gracious Speech (26 Oct 2023)

War in Ukraine - Commons Urgent Question (25 Oct 2023)

Baroness Goldie: I have been able to indicate to the Chamber, and reiterate it to the noble and gallant Lord, that we are satisfied that we have the resource not only to attend to our indigenous domestic security and defence needs but to continue affording the help that we have been affording to Ukraine, for example. The noble and gallant Lord will be aware of figures that have been settled for last year and...

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill: After Clause 70 - Local authorities: hybrid meetings (24 Oct 2023)

Rachel Maclean: I thank my right hon. and gallant Friend for that point. He will know that, with this Bill, we are pushing power down to local people, local areas and local councillors, who are elected to represent their communities. As I said, the Government have a very clear view that local democracy should take place face to face. Through our levelling-up work, we are in the midst of a...

Long-Term Strategic Challenges Posed by China - Motion to Take Note (19 Oct 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: ...the Chinese Communist Party. My remarks today will probably reflect some of the sentiments and specifics raised. I listened very carefully, as I always do, to the contributions of the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Stirrup, which showed a deep insight and really threw down a challenge to the Government. While I may not satisfy all his questions, I hope during my contribution I will be able...

Gaza: Al-Ahli Arab Hospital Explosion - Commons Urgent Question (19 Oct 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: I agree with the noble and gallant Lord; that is why my right honourable friend the Prime Minister said as much yesterday during Prime Minister’s Questions. As I said, we are assessing the facts and the noble and gallant Lord will know of the importance of assessment and evidence. It is right, I believe, that we take time to ensure that the narrative that prevails is one which is based on...
