Glasgow School of Art

Commons Chamber on 19 June 201819/06/2018

I pay tribute to the hon. Member for Glasgow Central (Alison Thewliss) for securing this urgent question. I fully support her efforts, and I am sure all Glasgow Members will stand in total solidarity to ensure we get the best outcome possible for our cit...

Sewel Convention

Commons Chamber on 18 June 201818/06/2018

What happened last week was completely unacceptable, with deplorable antics from the Tories when it came to the time allowed for debate on one hand, and the counterproductive antics from the SNP, including walking out of this place in an orchestrated med...

Points of Order

Commons Chamber on 18 June 201818/06/2018

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. It will have come to your attention, and to the attention of many Members, that a massive cultural disaster occurred in Glasgow over the weekend when a conflagration consumed Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill: Sewel Convention

Commons Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

My constituent Duc Nguyen was on the brink of deportation to Vietnam yesterday. It took the quick action of my office and others to prevent that from happening. It is unacceptable that a deportation attempt was made without sufficient solicitor and MP in...

Rolls-Royce Redundancies

Commons Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

Rolls-Royce is an iconic industrial asset for Britain, and its relationship with Glasgow goes back as far as the second world war. Even to this day it drives huge innovation in the city, from the Advanced Forming Research Centre to supply-chain companies...

Galileo Programme

Commons Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

The UK’s space industry is world class and world leading, and a good example of that is Clyde Space in Glasgow, which is a world-leading manufacturer of cube satellites. The CEO of Airbus, Tom Enders, has called on Britain and the European Commission urg...

Universal Credit

Commons Chamber on 13 June 201813/06/2018

In Scotland, the transfer from disability living allowance to personal independence payment has resulted in a total of more than £56 million being lost in annual payments. In my constituency, the total loss to people with disabilities is over £2 million...

Points of Order

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Thank you for your patience in hearing this point of order. I seek your clarification on the programme motion. It was entirely in the gift of the Government to set the time according to their requirements. Indeed, it was...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

Insufficient parliamentary time has been allocated for debate. We presented an alternative programme motion that would have afforded sufficient time. I therefore seek your advice, Mr Speaker, in relation to how the Labour party will stand up for the peop...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I want to raise a real concern among Labour Members. We voted against the programme motion—we presented an alternative—and we will not be able to debate our amendment on the devolution settlement in the House because we w...

Feed-in Tariff Scheme

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

Although I was delighted to hear that the world-leading small wind turbine manufacturer in my constituency, Gaia-Wind, was saved from liquidation this week by an overseas buyer, the unnecessary uncertainty that the Government have created around the futu...

Feed-in Tariff Scheme

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 7 June 201807/06/2018

The will of the House was clear on Tuesday—the sentiments expressed were clear—so when will the Leader of the House grant a debate on removing abortion from criminal law altogether and regulating it in the same way as other medical procedures?

Engagements

Commons Chamber on 6 June 201806/06/2018

Q10. My constituent Giorgi is 10 years old. He was tragically orphaned in February. He has lived in Glasgow since he was three years old. His only language is English and he speaks it with the same accent as mine. Yet he now faces being deported to Geo...

Universal Credit: Low-income Families

Commons Chamber on 6 June 201806/06/2018

The roll-out of universal credit and personal independence payments has led to £56 million of cuts in disability payments every year, hitting Scotland’s poorest the hardest. Six out of the 10 worst-hit constituencies are in Glasgow, and the annual loss t...

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

Commons Chamber on 24 May 201824/05/2018

My hon. Friend is making an excellent and moving speech about the pan-global issues faced by the Ahmadiyya community, yet the hate in Pakistan in particular is something many British citizens have faced. It is often why they became British citizens—none...

Business of the House

Commons Chamber on 24 May 201824/05/2018

The Leader of the House may be aware of recent reports by the GMB trade union and the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions demonstrating a clear economic and national security basis for procuring the new Royal Fleet Auxiliary solid suppo...

Serious Violence Strategy

Commons Chamber on 22 May 201822/05/2018

I thank the hon. and learned Lady for giving way on this point, which is a critical issue for my city to this day. The success of the violence reduction unit is a great legacy for the Scottish Government, under both Labour and SNP administration. Crit...
