I say that very...

Migration (15 Jun 2023)

Robert Jenrick: ...last month. That now enables us to take action against dependants coming with students who are here on short courses, such as one-year master’s.

Anas Sarwar: 2.

Cost of Living: Healthy Start Scheme — [Derek Twigg in the Chair] (23 May 2023)

Andrew Western: ...might be a positive offer in response. The extension of the eligibility criteria would be particularly welcome not just to those with children over the age of four, but to everybody in receipt of universal credit. The current level of eligibility is set at any family earning up to £408 a week from employment, which is not a significant sum when there are little mouths to feed. I very much...

Scottish Parliament: NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (18 May 2023)

Anas Sarwar: ...three years since the Scottish hospitals inquiry was announced.

It is also true that people across the whole of the United Kingdom have had the great benefit over hundreds of years of Scotland’s huge successes: the Scottish enlightenment, the great universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the huge opportunities of the industrial and economic revolution that came out of Scotland. They have enriched and empowered us all. It is right that we as...
