Nuclear Submarines: AUKUS - Question ( 3 Jul 2023)

Baroness Goldie: I hope I can reassure the noble and gallant Lord that the Cabinet Secretary has asked the MoD’s Permanent Secretary, David Williams, to be the UK’s AUKUS principal. That is a very significant position. He will have overall responsibility for the programme in the UK with support from the Director General Nuclear, the Deputy Chief of Defence staff, military capability and senior civil...

Defence Policy (International Relations and Defence Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (30 Jun 2023)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...by being so they would be able to hear from those who have actually experienced work in the defence field. I was extremely grateful that I had as one of the members of our committee the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Stirrup, a fairly recent CDS, and he was able to keep us on the straight and narrow—most of the time. Today he made the critical point: in defence, you have to have long-term...

Situation in Russia (26 Jun 2023)

James Cleverly: My hon. and gallant Friend will know how important the moral component is in the success of a military operation. Those Russian troops and Wagner mercenaries will now be less confident about their logistics supply to the frontline, the integrity of their military leaders and the strength of their military planning. That will inevitably make them less effective as a fighting force. However, we...

Defence: Support Ships and Type 32 Frigates - Question (20 Jun 2023)

Baroness Goldie: I thank the noble and gallant Lord. He makes the point more eloquently and with greater authority than I can. I do not seek to pre-empt the defence Command Paper refresh, which is imminently in the stages of becoming public, but the hybrid nature of our capability will be obvious from that paper. The noble and gallant Lord is quite correct: we cannot put things in silos. We have to work out...

Cost of Living Support (20 Jun 2023)

Tom Pursglove: I thank my right hon. and gallant Friend for his question. This is a significant issue in his constituency and a challenge in constituencies across the country. Ministers across the Government are mindful of it. It draws focus back to the key, overarching mission of this Government and the economic plan that the Chancellor and Prime Minister are advancing. That is why it is so critical that...

Cost of Living: Parental Leave and Pay — [Steve McCabe in the Chair] (19 Jun 2023)

Justin Madders: ...Three times in the previous three Sessions, private Members’ Bills were left to flounder, with none receiving a Second Reading. However, thanks to the tireless campaigning and work by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Barnsley Central (Dan Jarvis), such legislation has finally received Royal Assent. It is clear that the Protection from Redundancy (Pregnancy and Family Leave) Act...

Ukraine: Ministry of Defence Strategy - Question (15 Jun 2023)

Baroness Goldie: I think the House will concur with the principle of the noble and gallant Lord’s proposition. I can tell him that through diplomatic channels and, where we can, through MoD conduits, we make known to other powers that have been somewhat passive in their comments on this barbaric and illegal war that a more proactive response is necessary, that this is wrong and that history has shown us...

Global Military Operations (14 Jun 2023)

Andrew Murrison: .... I think the facts bear that out. He should be proud of the leadership role we are taking, and I say that to him in all sincerity. I cannot do justice to the detailed points made by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Bracknell (James Sunderland). As a logistician, I expect him to make a number of forensic points, but he is quite right to say that we should not be matching the good...

Nova Kakhovka Dam - Question (13 Jun 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: My Lords, I totally agree with the noble and gallant Lord. In preparation for this Question, I saw the mapping made of the flooding, which is on both sides of the Dnipro river; half is on the Russian side. Even organisations such as the ICRC cannot access the area, and people are suffering. I agree with the noble and gallant Lord that there are issues concerning agriculture and the natural...

RAF: C-130J Hercules - Question ( 8 Jun 2023)

Baroness Goldie: As the noble and gallant Lord will be aware, on availability, if we factor in planned maintenance for the whole fleet and retrofitting for some of the older A400Ms to bring them up to modern standards, there will always be an element of unavailability. On the matter of the Special Forces, the noble and gallant Lord will understand that I cannot comment specifically on their activities, but I...

Kosovo and the Western Balkans Region - Question ( 6 Jun 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: My Lords, we are working closely with international partners to de-escalate the situation in northern Kosovo and encourage a return to dialogue. The noble and gallant Lord, Lord Peach, visited Kosovo on 30 May and met political leaders, the commander of NATO’s KFOR mission and other key actors. The Government use a number of diplomatic, programme and other tools to encourage and support...

Sudan: Civilian Population - Question (18 May 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: My Lords, the noble and gallant Lord will know that I cannot speculate on his final question. However, we are fully aware of the work of the Wagner Group from emerging reports about possible activities in Sudan and wherever there is a gap, as I have said before at the Dispatch Box. We have seen that the Wagner Group is operating very effectively in the Sahel too, particularly in Mali. There...

War Widows’ and Widowers’ Pensions - Question (18 May 2023)

Lord Harlech: I can confirm to the noble and gallant Lord that this scheme applies to all those who surrendered their war widow’s pension before the change was made to eligibility pre April 2015. Those eligible will be those whose spouse suffered death or injury on operational deployment or in a training exercise. If it was in service, they will be eligible.

Ukraine Recovery Conference - Question (15 May 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: The insights provided by the noble and gallant Lord are most welcome. We need to capture and leverage the insights and experience of your Lordships’ House to ensure that our Ukrainian friends get a clear and unequivocal message: we stand with you in all sectors. The Ukraine Recovery Conference, which we are hosting in London, is an opportunity for not just government or parliamentarians but...

Ukraine: Ceasefire - Question (15 May 2023)

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: My Lords, I recognise the valuable insights of the noble and gallant Lord, and I assure him that we are doing just that by ensuring that we replenish any support we are giving to Ukraine in terms of ammunition, missiles and other equipment, because the first responsibility of the Government is the security of our own nation.

Overseas Territories (11 May 2023)

Stephen Doughty: ...our overseas territories not only to defend their citizens but to recognise the strategic import of places such as Diego Garcia, Ascension, the Falklands and Gibraltar —places where the hon. and gallant Member for Bracknell (James Sunderland) served. The Opposition are resolutely committed to that. We need to support them in their internal security. St Helena has not had Home Office...

NHS: Allocation of Financial Resources - Question (11 May 2023)

Lord Markham: Absolutely. The plan is looking at the use of Pharmacy First, as the noble and gallant Lord mentioned, and at the use of technology and the productivity improvements that will make. It is looking at the use of apprenticeships and at how we can bring people back into the nurse and doctor workforce. It is obviously looking at things such as pensions, which we are improving so we can retain more...

Frigates - Question (10 May 2023)

Baroness Goldie: The noble and gallant Lord makes a very important distinction. It is the case that we have identified the need for our Royal Navy to be resilient and flexible and, as I indicated earlier, the Type 31 design is just that. I know that a number of noble Lords in this Chamber have asked this and I pay tribute to the noble Baroness, Lady Smith of Newnham, who has pursued this point with me: why...

Ukraine: Special Tribunal — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] ( 9 May 2023)

David Rutley: It is an honour to serve with you in the Chair once again, Mr Davies. I congratulate the hon. and gallant Member for Tiverton and Honiton (Richard Foord) on securing this important debate and on the considered views he set out, as well as other hon. Members. I will do everything I can to respond to the points that have been raised. Across the House, we are all horrified by the horrific...

Scottish Parliament: Firefighters Memorial Day 2023 ( 4 May 2023)

Russell Findlay: ...long and tragic history of high-profile and often deadly infernos, some of which have earned it the label of “tinderbox city”. We do not have to look far to see the legacy of incidents in which gallant firefighters and others lost their lives. The firefighters heritage trail comprises 12 memorial plaques in places around the city where firefighters died on duty. One of those relates to...
