Rishi Sunak: The Post Office IT scandal is one of the greatest miscarriages in our nation’s history. I am determined that the victims get the justice and redress they deserve. Today, we are introducing legislation to quash convictions resulting from this scandal. The Department for Business and Trade will be responsible for the new redress scheme, and we are widening access to the optional £75,000...
Paul Frew: ...area — in my constituency — it sits at 67·2415. In the Derry City and Strabane District Council area, it is 66·7608. That is a full 12 or 13 points higher than it is in Chris Heaton-Harris or Rishi Sunak's constituencies. That means that Northern Ireland, with the lowest taxable capacity in the UK, is already more stretched in its taxable capacity with regard to the business rate...
Stephen Kinnock: ...We talk a lot about the fact that the Prime Minister is utterly blinkered about the truth that he has gone from being a low-growth Chancellor to a no-growth Prime Minister, with the introduction of Rishi’s recession, and that working people are paying the price in this cost of living crisis. We talk a lot about Tory waste: the fact that the Prime Minister has blown £7 billion on covid...
Kenneth Gibson: Thank you, Presiding Officer , and I thank the First Minister for his answer. The toxic Tory legacy of Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak is that, for the first time, per capita incomes at the end of this UK Parliament will be lower than at its start. Does the First Minister agree with the Scottish Chambers of Commerce that the “overriding impression” is that the chancellor’s...

Liam McArthur: It is safe to say that the debate has not panned out quite as Douglas Lumsden and Douglas Ross intended. I assume that Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak are now safely on the circulation list for the Scottish Conservatives’ media grid and, indeed, Holyrood’s Business Bulletin . Notwithstanding the exquisite schadenfreude of watching the proposers of today’s motion hoist by their own petard...
Rishi Sunak: This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, including listening to the Chancellor’s Budget statement, I shall have further such meetings later today.
Lord Collins of Highbury: ...SDG rescue plan, involving international partners, civil society and business? As the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, said, we had a political consensus around development. Sadly, under the direction of Rishi Sunak, we have seen the development target cut from 0.7% to 0.5%. It is not just the size of those cuts but the speed of their implementation that caused so much damage to people who most...
Rebecca Evans: ...to raise income, so that authorities across Wales are treated fairly and even-handedly. And I was reminded, as colleagues on the Conservative benches were talking in the debate this afternoon, of Rishi Sunak, when he was caught on camera saying that he wanted to transfer funding away from disadvantaged areas, and it seems that the Welsh Conservatives want to do the same. There's an ongoing...
Lord Woolley of Woodford: ...alive and with us from the 1970s to come here, collectively, and sincerely apologise. They include John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. We need a collective, heartfelt apology for the damage caused, before it is too late.
Rishi Sunak: I know the thoughts of the whole House will be with the friends and families of Lord Cormack and Ronnie Campbell. They were dedicated parliamentarians. This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I will have further such meetings later today.
Delyth Jewell: .... So, this is a development to be welcomed, I think. We heard yesterday that the Westminster Government will redirect funding earmarked for HS2 to regions in the midlands and northern England, but Rishi Sunak didn't say a word about the £4 billion that Wales is owed as a consequence of the sections of HS2 that haven't been cancelled. For shame, Llywydd, although to be expected, I'm sure...
Buffy Williams: Unlike Rishi Sunak taking credit for the electrified north Wales main line, backed by £1 billion nobody's seen, the Treherbert line transformation in Rhondda is making real progress with real financial backing. Electrification, infrastructure, station upgrades and dualling the line in parts over the last nine months mean that residents can once again use trains while the last phase of works...
Daniel Johnson: ...and, given that this is its penultimate budget, increasingly out of time. The reality is that Scottish taxpayers are being failed by two Governments. The Tories are ushering in a recession under Rishi Sunak, and the SNP is presiding over 17 years of cuts, which is leaving every institution in Scotland weaker and impoverished after its time in government. Perhaps the most interesting and...
Rishi Sunak: On 5 December 2023, the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament published their report entitled ‘International Partnerships’. The UK's international intelligence alliances are fundamental to the work of the Government and we are grateful to the Committee for devoting time and attention to this subject. Today, the Government is publishing its response to this report. Copies of...
Lord Sikka: ...to be taxed, and at what rate, to shape what kind of society. Special low tax rates are enacted for the rich because they fund political parties, or simply because they demand it. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak paid tax of £508,308 on an income of just over £2.2 million, which is an effective tax rate of 23%. That is the tax rate faced by somebody on a wage of around £30,000 per year. As I...
Rishi Sunak: The whole House will join me in sending our deepest condolences to the family of Alexei Navalny. He died for a cause to which he dedicated his whole life: freedom. To return home knowing that Putin had already tried to have him killed was one of the most courageous acts of our time. Together with our allies, we are considering all options to hold Russia and Putin to account, and this morning...
Lord Alderdice: ...—that a consequence of Brexit was to damage the relationship with the European Union and the United States. After a couple of Prime Ministers not making much of a show of things, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak realised that the key thing for him to do was to repair the relationships with Europe and the United States, because, despite all the talk of being able to have lots of agreements,...
