EU Withdrawal: No Deal Preparations

Commons Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

I am pleased to hear that prudent preparation is being made for leaving without a deal. Does my hon. Friend accept, however, that to provide reassurance to business and the wider public—not to mention to inform our interlocutors in Brussels—the nature an...

EU Withdrawal: No Deal Preparations

Commons Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

10. What preparations his Department is making for withdrawal from the EU without a deal.

Airports National Policy Statement

Commons Chamber on 5 June 201805/06/2018

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on his statement today. Given that the Heathrow is the UK’s biggest port by value for exports outside the European Union, does he agree that its expansion will be crucial to British businesses all over the country in t...

Nuclear Power

Commons Chamber on 4 June 201804/06/2018

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on his statement, which will be widely welcomed in north Wales where Wylfa is such an important part of the regional economy. On timescale, he mentioned that the negotiations will be subject to, among other things, the...

Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill [Lords]

Commons Chamber on 14 May 201814/05/2018

Can the right hon. Gentleman say, from his experience of the island of Ireland, whether the Irish Government fully understand the importance to the Irish economy of maintaining free access to the United Kingdom for trade not only with this country but be...

Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill [Lords]

Commons Chamber on 14 May 201814/05/2018

It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Bristol South (Karin Smyth). This is a very welcome Bill and demonstrates that the Government are making prudent preparations for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. My right hon. Fri...

Negotiations

Commons Chamber on 3 May 201803/05/2018

Given that membership of the European Union necessarily means being in the single market and the customs union under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, does my right hon. Friend agree that, to keep faith with the British people, this Parl...

UK Administrations: Co-operation

Commons Chamber on 2 May 201802/05/2018

Will my right hon. Friend extend to the Welsh Government the thanks of many hon. Members of this House for accepting the UK Government’s sensible and pragmatic proposals for resolving the issue of the repatriation of powers, thereby reflecting the fact...

Home Office Removal Targets

Commons Chamber on 26 April 201826/04/2018

To what extent was my right hon. Friend’s Department’s ability to monitor and assess the level of illegal immigration impeded by the abandonment of exit checks in 1998?

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...

Welsh Affairs

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...

Welsh Affairs

Commons Chamber on 19 March 201819/03/2018

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...

Welsh Affairs

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...

Welsh Affairs

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...
