Northern Ireland (26 Jun 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Will my right hon. Friend confirm that the Government are committed to ensuring that everyone from every nation and region of our United Kingdom is able to share in the proceeds of continued economic growth? As has already been mentioned, one way of doing that has been through the successful city deals, and my constituency has benefited greatly from the Aberdeen city deal. What will the...

Brexit and Foreign Affairs (26 Jun 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for calling me to speak. It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Ilford South (Mike Gapes). It is an incredibly humbling experience to have been elected to this place. I hope that, however long or short my time here may be, I will be able to serve West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine with the same dedication and purpose as my predecessor, Stuart Donaldson,...

Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Topical Questions (29 Jun 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Will the Minister join me in sending good luck not only to the British and Irish Lions this summer but to Scotland’s women’s football team? They have done what the men’s team have painfully failed to do for 19 years and qualified for an international football tournament, in which we will meet England on 19 July.

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Extremism ( 3 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: What steps she is taking to tackle extremism in the UK.

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Extremism ( 3 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I thank the Minister for that answer. Ten years ago last week we saw the terrorist attack on Glasgow airport, and since then we have sadly seen instances of extremism and terrorism in Walsall, Exeter, Manchester, Yorkshire, and of course here in London. What is being done with the devolved Administrations, as well the combined authorities and regions, to ensure that extremism, and therefore...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 5 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I thank the Prime Minister for taking time during the general election to come up to Banchory and campaign in my constituency where we did rather well. Does she agree that it is utterly shameful that the Scottish Government have, for the second year in a row, had to go pleading to the European Commission for an extension to the farm payment deadline? Is that not proof, if further proof were...

Counter-Daesh Update (13 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I join the Secretary of State and Members of all parties in paying tribute to the work of the men and women in all three services. Does he agree that the important and prominent role played by the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force further reinforces this country’s place as the United States’ most important ally and a vital partner in the region to ensure the ultimate defeat of Daesh...

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Economic Growth (18 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: What assessment he has made of recent trends in economic growth.

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Economic Growth (18 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: These are obviously still worrying times for many in north-east Scotland, with the continued low oil price still causing concern, but does my right hon. Friend agree that the strength of the United Kingdom’s economy, now the second highest growing in the G7, has enabled this Government to provide over £2.6 billion of support to the industry, securing jobs in West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine?

Armed Forces (19 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I am pleased to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Roger. I would like to congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot (Leo Docherty) on securing this very important debate. Britannia Royal Naval College in Devon stands high on a hill overlooking the Dart estuary and the town of Dartmouth. It is an impressive building, designed to instil a sense of pride and purpose in all those who...

Armed Forces (19 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I very much agree with my hon. Friend’s sentiments on that point. I stand here proud that, for all we talk today about moving towards a more flexible, agile armed forces, armed and trained to fight the asymmetric wars of the future, the Conservative Government have proven, in not only words but actions, that they do not suffer, as other Governments have, from sea-blindness. In this year of...

Armed Forces (19 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?

Armed Forces (19 Jul 2017)

Andrew Bowie: The hon. Gentleman says that there are no surface vessels based in Scotland, but that is patently untrue. The mine counter measures squadron is based solely at Faslane, which if I am not mistaken is north of the border in Scotland.

International Day of Democracy ( 6 Sep 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Thank you for your chairmanship today, Mr Betts. I also thank the hon. Member for Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East (Stuart C. McDonald) for introducing the debate. Clement Attlee said: “Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking.” It is a sentiment that we in this House might do well to heed from time to time. Over the...

International Day of Democracy ( 6 Sep 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I absolutely will. I have gone on the record in the past saying that I would welcome votes at 16, and I am willing to stand by that again today. I also think that it is very important in a democracy that we learn to respect the results of referendums and elections—something that the hon. Gentleman’s party might do well to remember. I am for more democracy, and would argue that we could...

International Day of Democracy ( 6 Sep 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Does that mean that the hon. Gentleman would be in favour of what I would call real devolution, from centralised, devolved Administrations in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, down to the local level as much as possible, rather than holding Government centrally?

Hurricane Irma: Government Response (12 Sep 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I should like to join the Minister in paying tribute to the UK armed services personnel who are delivering vital aid and support as we speak, and who are once again proving that they really are the most versatile and best-trained armed forces in the world. Can my right hon. Friend update the House on any requests from other Governments in the region to utilise our world-leading assets and...

NHS Pay (13 Sep 2017)

Andrew Bowie: Will the hon. Lady give way?

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Topical Questions ( 9 Oct 2017)

Andrew Bowie: I am sure that the Secretary of State and everyone in this House would agree that parents should fulfil their financial obligations to their children. But do they agree that much more should be done to combat those who are shamefully using legal loopholes to avoid paying child maintenance?

European Union (Approvals) Bill: Approval of draft decisions under Article 352 of TFEU (10 Oct 2017)

Andrew Bowie: It has been said by some that this Bill lacks substance, that this is a perfunctory debate and that it has little significance. I think that could not be further from the truth. For our actions here in the House this evening demonstrate beyond any discernible doubt that up to and until the point that we leave the European Union, we will continue to use our rights and obligations as full...
