Rare Diseases Strategy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201728/03/2017

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way and I congratulate the hon. Member for Bath (Ben Howlett) on securing this debate. The Teddington Trust, which is jointly run by one of my constituents, supports people living with xeroderma pigmentosum, who lack the...

Equitable Life Policyholders: Compensation

Commons Chamber on 23 March 201723/03/2017

My hon. Friend is making some great points. Given the hardships that some of our constituents have faced, given the injustice and, indeed, the age that some of them are reaching, will she join me in expressing admiration for their tenacity and their dete...

Car Insurance: Young People

Westminster Hall on 20 March 201720/03/2017

The hon. Gentleman makes an important point. When I was at school, I had friends who were involved in serious car accidents, and somebody a couple of years above me was killed in a car accident. It is so important that, when educating young people, we st...

Car Insurance: Young People

Westminster Hall on 20 March 201720/03/2017

It is dark all the time—absolutely. In winter, it gets light after 8 o’clock in the morning and gets dark at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Not driving at night would be a real issue and prevent a lot of young people from working. The constituency...

Car Insurance: Young People

Westminster Hall on 20 March 201720/03/2017

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Roger, and to speak in the debate. I must declare an interest as a 25-year-old driver who has just renewed his car insurance. It was not as bad as I thought it would be, which is good to report. I...

Commonwealth: Trade

Westminster Hall on 22 February 201722/02/2017

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Davies. I congratulate the hon. Member for Rossendale and Darwen (Jake Berry). It is good to see so many of his colleagues here after his shameless promotion of the debate yesterday in Foreign and Common...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 7 February 201707/02/2017

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way on that point. Many people have received medical treatment abroad under the European health insurance card. That includes me, and I have the scars to prove it. Does he share my concern that we may no longer have acc...

Seagulls

Westminster Hall on 7 February 201707/02/2017

The hon. Gentleman mentioned stealing food. I am sure he is aware of the video of the Aberdonian seagull shoplifting a packet of Doritos in Aberdeen. Seagulls cause real problems for residents, businesses and tourists. Will he join me in welcoming Aberde...

Armed Forces Covenant

Commons Chamber on 2 February 201702/02/2017

My hon. Friend is making a fantastic speech. I recently visited one of my constituents, who is doing a lot for veterans. Indeed, quite soon he will be rowing solo from Portugal to French Guiana in aid of veterans. When he left the Royal Navy, he experien...

EU Nationals: Residency Rights

Commons Chamber on 26 January 201726/01/2017

If the Government are not going to guarantee residency rights for EU nationals, may I ask what assessment have they made of the impact on the economy and public services of an exodus of EU nationals and the return of thousands of retired British immigran...

EU Nationals: Residency Rights

Commons Chamber on 26 January 201726/01/2017

Will the Secretary of State tell us what further Trident missile tests are planned, and will he keep the House updated on the outcome of future tests?

UN’s Not Too Young to Run Campaign

Westminster Hall on 7 December 201607/12/2016

I appreciate the Minister’s response. As a Foreign Office Minister, will he tell us what the UK Government are doing in other areas around the world to promote participation, not only among youth but among genders and minorities to increase participation...

UN’s Not Too Young to Run Campaign

Westminster Hall on 7 December 201607/12/2016

Absolutely, and I will come on to speak about that. I cannot mention colleagues without mentioning my hon. Friend the Member for Paisley and Renfrewshire South (Mhairi Black), who was elected to this place at the age of just 20, edging me out as the youn...

UN’s Not Too Young to Run Campaign

Westminster Hall on 7 December 201607/12/2016

I do. Every time I visit schools or speak to youth groups, I encourage them to get involved. I am going to mention my hon. Friend a little later on in my speech—nine and a half years, really? Wow! It is important that we emphasise to young people that...

UN’s Not Too Young to Run Campaign

Westminster Hall on 7 December 201607/12/2016

I absolutely agree, and I will come to that point too. My hon. Friends must have copies of my speech. Johanna Nyman continued: “If the last few months of global political upheaval have taught us anything, it should be that politics needs young peop...

UN’s Not Too Young to Run Campaign

Westminster Hall on 7 December 201607/12/2016

I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention. I will come to the benefits of the Scottish and UK Youth Parliaments a little later. The Secretary-General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Martin Chungong, has said: “If young people are not too young...

UN’s Not Too Young to Run Campaign

Westminster Hall on 7 December 201607/12/2016

I beg to move, That this House has considered the UN’s Not Too Young to Run campaign. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Betts. Today’s generation of young people is the largest the world has ever known. Half of the global popula...
