Syria

Commons Chamber on 16 April 201816/04/2018

The conflict in Syria has had the most serious impact on other nations in the region, not least countries friendly to the UK such as Jordan, which has done so much to accommodate refugees from the fighting. Will my right hon. Friend confirm that our regi...

European Council

Commons Chamber on 26 March 201826/03/2018

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on the progress made thus far in the withdrawal negotiations, but can she confirm that it remains her position that no deal is better than a bad deal, and that all necessary preparations are being made for such an even...

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

Will the hon. Gentleman accept it from me that very few Welsh people would have appreciated a public holiday on St David’s day this year, given the weather?

Welsh Affairs

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

Yes, I would agree. In fact, the proposals from the developers of the Swansea lagoon are for a chain of lagoons from Lancashire right through to Somerset. That would provide virtually 24-hour-a-day generation so, again, it would be an important developme...

Welsh Affairs

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

I do believe that my hon. Friend, in his own manner, is agreeing with what I have just said, but I am straying from the subject I want to discuss—improving the synergy between north Wales and the north-west of England. One of the most important areas...

That, too, is one of the paradoxes of devolution. Many hon. Members find their constituencies served by hospitals on the Welsh side of the border and, because of devolution, they are unable to make representations on behalf of their constituents.

Welsh Affairs

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

The right hon. Gentleman has raised this question on numerous occasions, but sadly that is one of the paradoxes of devolution.

Welsh Affairs

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

Like most city deals and growth deals, this is a question of partnership working. Nevertheless, we are seeing investment in Swansea and in Cardiff, so I felt it was slightly churlish of the hon. Member for Neath to complain. I shall concentrate on nor...

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

May I say how pleased I am that the traditional St David’s day debate is taking place again this year, albeit on the wrong side of St Patrick’s day? Like the hon. Member for Neath (Christina Rees), I was very disappointed when the beast from the east pai...

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

Does my right hon. Friend agree that the European Union has an equal interest in ensuring that its products receive similar protection? For example, the United Kingdom is one of the biggest markets in the world for champagne. I am sure that the new Conwy...

Exit Negotiations

Commons Chamber on 15 March 201815/03/2018

I wish my right hon. Friend every success in the negotiations which, as he said, will reach an important stage next week. Will he confirm that it remains the Government’s position that no deal is better than a bad deal, and that all necessary resources—f...

Investment in the Railway Network

Commons Chamber on 14 March 201814/03/2018

Does my right hon. Friend agree that the recently launched West and Wales strategic rail prospectus contains sensible proposals that would, if adopted, significantly improve rail connectivity in north Wales and that they should receive favourable conside...

UK Relations: Saudi Arabia

Commons Chamber on 7 March 201807/03/2018

I refer to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Does my right hon. Friend acknowledge that the intervention of Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners in Yemen was at the request of the legitimate Government of that country? Does he...

Leaving the EU: No-deal Alternatives

Westminster Hall on 21 February 201821/02/2018

As my hon. Friend knows, membership of EFTA-EEA connotes membership of the single market, which was rejected by the British people when they voted to leave the European Union. Is it her proposal that membership of EEA-EFTA also be put to the British peopl...

Autumn Budget as it Relates to Wales (Morning sitting)

General Committees on 7 February 201807/02/2018

I agree wholeheartedly. He has been extremely enthusiastic and held meetings with Members of Parliament. I am very hopeful that, as long as he is the responsible Minister, we will see some advance in the north Wales growth deal. I look forward to progress...

Autumn Budget as it Relates to Wales (Morning sitting)

General Committees on 7 February 201807/02/2018

The hon. Gentleman is aware of the Government’s position on the border with Ireland, and I will not be tempted into discussing Brexit when we are here to debate the Budget. This is an issue of importance to my constituency and north Wales, so I hope he wi...

Autumn Budget as it Relates to Wales (Morning sitting)

General Committees on 7 February 201807/02/2018

I recognise the importance of Airbus not just to the regional economy of north Wales, but to the whole United Kingdom economy. It is the biggest manufacturing facility. The hon. Gentleman is entitled to his views on Brexit. I happen not to share them, and...

Autumn Budget as it Relates to Wales (Morning sitting)

General Committees on 7 February 201807/02/2018

Mae’n bleser eich gweld chi yn y Gadair, Mr Owen. Mae’n dda hefyd bod Aelodau Seneddol yn cael y cyfle i siarad yn yr iaith Gymraeg yn San Steffan am y tro cyntaf, os dymunant wneud hynny. Yn siarad yn bersonnol, yn anffodus dydw i ddim yn teimlo’n ddigon...

Autumn Budget as it Relates to Wales (Morning sitting)

General Committees on 7 February 201807/02/2018

I have hesitated to intervene, but the hon. Lady is being less than fair. Was not the pressure on the Chancellor exerted by the all-party parliamentary group on Mersey Dee North Wales, which is chaired by her colleague, the hon. Member for Wrexham (Ian C....

Autumn Budget as it Relates to Wales (Morning sitting)

General Committees on 7 February 201807/02/2018

I understand fully that the benefits or otherwise of the project must be scrutinised, but how long is that scrutiny likely to take?
