UK-Rwanda Partnership ( 6 Dec 2023)

Alison Thewliss: So it is not true.

UK-Rwanda Partnership ( 6 Dec 2023)

Alison Thewliss: “Exploring” is not “copying”.

UK-Rwanda Partnership ( 6 Dec 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Further to that point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. On a point of accuracy, those who are being moved to Albania will be under Italian law. That is not the case in the Rwanda plan.

Middle East: UK Military Deployments ( 5 Dec 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Can the Secretary of State tell us what role the RAF base in Cyprus is currently playing in this situation? Is any military matériel being moved through that base?

Net Migration Figures (28 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: I wish to take a different approach from the Westminster parties to the migration statistics. On behalf of the SNP, I thank those people who have come to make their home here and to contribute to our universities, public services and health and care sector, and who have made our society and our economy all the richer for their presence. Have the Government thought this through? Who will carry...

Ukraine (28 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: I have always loved the opportunity to put my support for Ukraine and Ukrainians on the record. I appreciate that the Minister is not the correct Minister for this point, but I can see that the Immigration Minister has arrived for the next urgent question. We have been getting a lot of casework about Ukrainians finding it difficult to get their biometric residence permits processed in any...

Home Department: Illegal Migration: Small Boats (27 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Last week, a woman and a man died while attempting to cross the channel in a small boat; others in their group were hospitalised for hypothermia. Despite the clear risks, over 400 people in nine boats were detected crossing the channel in the past seven days. They clearly felt there was no other choice. The lack of safe and legal routes is putting people at risk. Will the Immigration Minister...

Home Department: Illegal Migration: Small Boats (27 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: The Minister is deflecting quite a lot. [Interruption.] Government Members would do well to listen because their systems are not working; they are failing people every single day. In the first nine months of 2023, a mere 279 Afghans arrived in the UK by safe and legal routes. For each one, 17 Afghans came across on small boats. Today, The Independent has laid out the story of a mother of...

Violence Reduction, Policing and Criminal Justice (15 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: rose—

Violence Reduction, Policing and Criminal Justice (15 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Friends of mine will know that I run an occasional series on my social media about “Westminster weirdness”. Given what has happened in the past week, I really do not know where to start, but I congratulate the Secretary of State on still being here to deliver his speech. That, I suppose, represents some progress for him, if not for his colleagues. I tend not to speak too much about...

Illegal Immigration (15 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: We on the SNP Benches were very glad to see the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court today. It really is quite ridiculous for the new Home Secretary to come to the House today to tell us that his predecessor’s dream will never die. It has gone. Give it up! Do something else instead! Before the extremists on his own Benches start to blame the ECHR, the Supreme Court judge, Lord Reed, was...

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (14 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: It is difficult to get aid and medicine into Gaza, but there is no shortage of arms in the region. I have been contacted by many constituents concerned about Britain’s role in supplying British-made weapons to Israel. In the absence of the Committees on Arms Export Controls meeting at all this year, what assurances can the Minister give that the weapons we are supplying are not being used...

Treasury: Food Inflation (14 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: What recent assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of trends in the level of food inflation.

Treasury: Food Inflation (14 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Between March 2021 and April 2023, the cost of first infant formula increased by 24%, on average, with the cheapest formula on the market increasing by 45%. That is an absolute catastrophe for families who rely on infant formula, but a bonanza for the formula companies, which are making significant profits out of this. Can the Chancellor tell me why he believes it is right for companies to...

Work and Pensions: Jobcentres (13 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Last week, I received a letter from the Minister for social mobility, youth and progression, the hon. Member for Mid Sussex (Mims Davies), saying that she intends to close down the Jobcentre Plus on Renfield Street, which was opened on a temporary basis in 2021. I know from having met the staff there that they have done a huge amount of work to get people in through the door—and in...

Occupied Palestinian Territories: Humanitarian Situation ( 8 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Almost 1,200 constituents have been in touch with my office demanding a ceasefire now. Oxfam has said that humanitarian pauses and safe zones are simply not enough to address this humanitarian crisis, and it is far from alone in saying so. Can the Minister explain to my constituents and to Oxfam why he will not support a ceasefire?

Pakistan: Evacuation of Afghans ( 8 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: (Urgent Question): To ask the Home Secretary if she will make a statement on the evacuation of Afghans from Pakistan.

Pakistan: Evacuation of Afghans ( 8 Nov 2023)

Alison Thewliss: Thank you for granting this urgent question, Mr Speaker. I am afraid that the Minister’s answer gives no reassurance whatsoever to constituents who have contacted me in a state of extreme panic over the last few weeks. Members have had no information on what is currently happening. It has been clear for some time that Pakistan aims to expel Afghans, who went there for safety, back to...

Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill: After Clause 180 - Failure to prevent fraud (25 Oct 2023)

Alison Thewliss: I knew that when you referred to us all as distinguished and experienced Members you did not mean me, Madam Deputy Speaker. This is the third time we have been back here, and I think it incumbent on the Government to listen to the Lords. They have made it clear that they feel strongly about their very reasonable amendments, which shows how important they are and how we should be getting this...

Cost of Energy: Dalmarnock (24 Oct 2023)

Alison Thewliss: For those unfamiliar with the Dalmarnock neighbourhood in my constituency, it is located in the east end of Glasgow, between the River Clyde and Celtic Park. People there are generous, kind and welcoming. It has been an absolute pleasure to represent them, first, as a councillor and now as an MP for the past 16 years. Dalmarnock has seen a lot of change over the years, as heavy industry has...
