Windrush

Commons Chamber on 23 April 201823/04/2018

The whole House will have heard my right hon. Friend’s whole-hearted apology for this very regrettable incident, which quite clearly should have been dealt with a very long time ago. Does she agree that what most affects the interests of immigrants and r...

Productivity

Commons Chamber on 17 April 201817/04/2018

May I congratulate my right hon. Friend on all the steps he is taking, with the Government, to improve productivity, which is very badly needed indeed in our economy? Does he agree that it is becoming increasingly difficult, with a very modern, interconn...

Productivity

Commons Chamber on 17 April 201817/04/2018

10. What plans he has to increase productivity.

Syria

Commons Chamber on 16 April 201816/04/2018

My right hon. Friend will agree that the use of chemical weapons by anyone, anywhere, under any circumstances, is illegal, contrary to all the laws of war and utterly reprehensible. Will she therefore confirm that the Government will at a later date seek...

Russia

Commons Chamber on 27 March 201827/03/2018

Will my right hon. Friend congratulate the foreign service, the intelligence services and all those others involved in putting together this exceptional coalition? Does he agree that international institutions need strengthening against Russia’s constant...

Salisbury Incident: Further Update

Commons Chamber on 14 March 201814/03/2018

I welcome the decision of the Government to refer the patiently and carefully acquired evidence of this grotesque attack to the OPCW. Is it the Prime Minister’s intention that its findings should be referred to the Russians, the United Nations and oursel...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

Will the Minister give way?

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

The hon. Lady is making an impressive speech, but may I disagree with her on one tiny point? Although it is important that we do not think that we are what we were, we do have this absolutely wonderful architecture and a brilliant inheritance of vast exp...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

My hon. Friend has always been known for his natural exuberance. If he would pause for a second, he would hear the magisterial exposition that I am about to give of the British Council. Another balls-up by Bellingham. To pre-empt my hon. Friend’s over...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

I do not think that it is nearly serious enough for the kind of steps that the Government will need to take against Russia. Just to say a lot of dignitaries will not be sent to the World cup is nowhere near good enough. It is a pathetic response. We will...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

I will continue if I may. These relationships with allies, friends and networks do not just drop into our lap; they require continuous and ceaseless effort, and the most serious diplomatic work. Take the example of the last few months. With our allies...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

I agree, and I would say further that we will have to ride every single horse in the park, not just the European horse. We no longer have a diplomatic network in the way that we used to, because our diplomatic network has been subordinated, in a perfectl...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

I completely agree with my right hon. Friend. He was a distinguished and successful Foreign Office Minister, and he has seen all these things in action. He is completely right: we will have to redouble all our efforts, call in all our chips, and work ver...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Member for Newbury (Richard Benyon) on his excellent speech in opening this important and serious debate. I will not respond to what the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon)—he is also my friend—said, other tha...

Diplomatic Service and Resources

Westminster Hall on 13 March 201813/03/2018

My right hon. Friend mentions Zimbabwe; I was there recently and I noticed that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and DFID sit together in the same building. It is clear, when looking at it, what a remarkable success that is; they each act as a force m...

Salisbury Incident

Commons Chamber on 12 March 201812/03/2018

Would my right hon. Friend confirm that, despite the difficulties that the American presidency may have on these issues, we are fully engaged with the American Government and our allies on this very important matter?

UK/EU Future Economic Partnership

Commons Chamber on 5 March 201805/03/2018

Will the Prime Minister confirm that the Commission is now in full possession of all the issues upon which we are to negotiate, and thus that there is no good reason why these talks should not now proceed apace in an orderly and friendly fashion?

Health and Social Care Services

Commons Chamber on 6 February 201806/02/2018

Does my hon. Friend agree that the integration of health and social care is so important to the future success of the NHS that everything needs to be done to speed up the programme to integrate them better? Will she join me in encouraging a speedier appro...

Proposal for Designation of Age-verification Regulator

General Committees on 1 February 201801/02/2018

I want to help the Minister in that I have been on the app and, contrary to what the right hon. Gentleman said, it is truly magnificent. It is a road down which we must all go.
