European Council

Commons Chamber on 26 June 201726/06/2017

I welcome the Government’s commitment to maintaining the “anything but arms” free trade relationship with the least developed countries. Will she say a little more about the Government’s intention to extend free and fair trade to developing countries whi...

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 22 June 201722/06/2017

Will the Leader of the House meet me and any other colleague who so wishes to discuss the erection of a permanent memorial to PC Keith Palmer, who fell defending us and our visitors before the general election, perhaps taking as inspiration the memorial i...

Grenfell Tower

Commons Chamber on 22 June 201722/06/2017

The London Resilience Forum has a number of multi-agency plans for things such as mass shelter, mass fatalities and mass casualties. Can we confirm whether those plans were fully implemented? Can we also ensure that what lessons we learn from the inquiry...

Northern Ireland: Political Developments

Commons Chamber on 28 March 201728/03/2017

Will my right hon. Friend give a commitment to ignore the siren song we are hearing from the Opposition about dragging the Prime Minister to Northern Ireland? It would be perverse, would it not, to reward intransigence on the part of some political partie...

London Attacks

Commons Chamber on 23 March 201723/03/2017

While our hearts go to all those people who were wounded and murdered yesterday, and to all the people who sought to help them, I would like, with your indulgence, Mr Speaker, to turn for just a moment to PC Keith Palmer, whom I first met 25 years ago whe...

European Council

Commons Chamber on 14 March 201714/03/2017

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has made it clear at the Dispatch Box and in the country that she wishes to prioritise certainty for UK nationals living in the EU 27 and for EU nationals living here in the UK, but I have it on good authority that...

NHS Shared Business Services

Commons Chamber on 27 February 201727/02/2017

Does my right hon. Friend agree that had the then Labour Government not made such a catastrophe of implementing the NHS computer system, such records would have been digitised many years ago and problems with storage of paper records would not have impact...

Unaccompanied Children (Greece and Italy)

Commons Chamber on 23 February 201723/02/2017

I genuinely thank the hon. Lady for giving way, but does she not recognise that the idea that pull factors do not exist just because push factors do exist is an inappropriate construct? There can be both push factors and pull factors; they are not mutuall...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 6 February 201706/02/2017

My right hon. Friend just ran through that list; does he agree that the people who were told that the referendum was an opportunity for them to express their opinion would find it perplexing, disturbing and not a little bit frustrating that new clause 168...

Armed Forces Covenant

Commons Chamber on 2 February 201702/02/2017

I thank my hon. and gallant Friend for giving way. On the question of support networks, does he agree that the Government and broader society need to be particularly aware of the pressures on people like him who were members of the reserve forces and do n...

Armed Forces Covenant

Commons Chamber on 2 February 201702/02/2017

Does my hon. and gallant Friend agree that what underpins the strong morale in the fighting elements of our armed forces is the confidence that when they come back into civilian life, they will be protected, nurtured and their sacrifice honoured?

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 1 February 201701/02/2017

It is incredibly important that the Government lay out a pathway for moving forwards that explains to many people in Britain how a global economy can work for not just the greater good, but their individual good. Ultimately, when Members of this House...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 1 February 201701/02/2017

I am in an easy position: I have an easy decision to make—in fact I have no decision to make. I campaigned and voted for Brexit, as did my constituency and the United Kingdom, so I am not torn on what to do this evening. However I will not demand that hon...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 31 January 201731/01/2017

Does the hon. and learned Gentleman not realise that the very point of us leaving the EU is to ensure that this place can make decisions on those very points?

Self-employment

Commons Chamber on 31 January 201731/01/2017

When I started a business, I found that one of the most intimidating elements was employing my first member of staff. What more can the Government do to encourage and support the self-employed to grow their company and become employers in their own righ...

Self-employment

Commons Chamber on 31 January 201731/01/2017

3. What steps he is taking to support the self-employed.

Trident: Test Firing

Commons Chamber on 23 January 201723/01/2017

There is a huge difference between subjects that are of interest to the public and things that are in the public interest. Does my right hon. Friend agree that while operations relating to intelligence, counter-terrorism, special forces and, indeed, nucle...

Modern Slavery

Commons Chamber on 8 December 201608/12/2016

6. What steps the Government are taking to increase the number of prosecutions for modern slavery.

Rail Infrastructure (Train Operating Companies)

Commons Chamber on 6 December 201606/12/2016

Commuters on the Braintree to Liverpool Street line suffer cancellations and delays far too regularly. I welcome the commitment to new rolling stock under the new franchise, but does my right hon. Friend agree that the bringing together of the TOCs and Ne...
