Mark Isherwood: Thank you for that. The global impact of the pandemic, followed by Putin's war in Ukraine, saw inflation rise, and this is a tax on people's income, causing pressures on household budgets, and must be tackled. When domestic inflation let rip in the 1970s it killed thousands of businesses and millions of jobs; in fact, the company my father had worked for crashed in 1978 because of this. The...
Karen Adam: ...to the security of our food and nutrition. Around the world, we are already witnessing slowing agricultural activity as a result of the effects of climate change. That, along with Russia’s war in Ukraine, is stoking further food insecurity. We do not need to tell our farmers and fishers any of that—they know at first hand the impact that those crises are having on the land and the sea....
Baroness Swinburne: ...accommodation. This is part of the wider £2 billion we are spending to tackle homelessness and end rough sleeping over three years, and comes alongside our work to support new arrivals from Ukraine and Afghanistan, as well as those reliant on temporary accommodation, through the Local Authority Housing Fund.
Mark Logan: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Japanese counterpart on reviving the Black Sea grain initiative.
Baroness Goldie: ...to the lessons that the UK may have learned from that war, humanitarian issues, the International Criminal Court, the role of the United Nations, sanctions and, importantly, the rebuilding of Ukraine. While defence is indeed playing a leading role in supporting Ukraine in defending its sovereignty, we are but one pillar of a cohesive HMG response to this international security crisis....
Baroness Goldie: ...disagree with my noble friend and wish to disabuse him of the idea that there is some decline going on; there is not. In fact, the example that the UK has set globally in respect of our support for Ukraine has been universally admired. That is dependent on not just military donations, but also on the NATO support which we are able to provide. As my noble friend will be aware, we are...
Baroness Neville-Rolfe: ...relations have improved, and continue to do so, under this Government. In particular, I am pleased to say that the UK and EU already enjoy close collaboration and co-operation in their support for Ukraine and over the imposition of sanctions against Russia. I was particularly pleased that, on 7 September, the UK and the EU announced agreement for UK association to Horizon Europe and...
Lord Murray of Blidworth: ...where possible we use existing pathways in response to events. However, there are some events so critical that we need to provide bespoke routes best to serve the issue at hand. One example was the Ukraine emergency. We are always learning from these in order to adjust our offer. I turn to the comments made by the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, and the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, in respect of...
Joel James: ...It is worrying that not a single person in the Welsh Labour Government can comprehend that inflation in the UK is the result of global pressures, due to the COVID pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, changes in energy supply, such as Europe moving away from Russian oil and gas, and the effects of policy changes by the US federal bank on global currencies. This means that they are not...
Felicity Buchan: ...Authority Housing Fund will help ensure a new supply of social housing for communities across the country, especially those who have been most generous in welcoming arrivals from Afghanistan and Ukraine. The Renters (Reform) Bill was introduced into Parliament on 17 May. The Bill will deliver a fairer, more secure, and higher quality private rented sector that is fit for the 21st century....
...that have made traditional blast furnace steel-making financially unviable. The global steel market has become saturated with heavily subsidised carbon-intensive steel, while Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has dramatically increased energy costs. This Conservative Government will continue to stand by our steel industry and this deal is part of our long-term plan for steel. This ambitious...
Jane Hutt: .... Can I say that I chair the nation of sanctuary ministerial board and, of course—in fact, we're having a meeting tomorrow—we cover all of the issues that I've outlined in my report: updates on Ukraine and the fact that we are managing, with the help of all local authorities, the third sector and communities and host families, to support Ukrainian guests here. And I met with many of...
Nick Smith: ...of the seabed and scientific concerns over its exploitation. The hon. Member for Filton and Bradley Stoke (Jack Lopresti) reflected on bus services for local children and on his visits to Ukraine. He had excellent cross-party ideas on reparations from Russia to Ukraine to help its rebuilding. My right hon. Friend the Member for Walsall South (Valerie Vaz), who is fiercely passionate...
Robert Halfon: ...justice and I am keen that we do everything we can to support disadvantaged groups to progress up the ladder. We need to set the context: £400 billion was spent on covid, alongside the war in Ukraine and our significant debt. However, even with that very difficult economic context, we are still doing everything we can to help disadvantaged students. Because of the number of Members who...
