| 14 Jul 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 540) “As chair, what instructions will you be giving to both your non-execs and your executives?

| 14 Jul 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 540) “You have obviously had extensive executive and non-executive experience across a number of different industries—importantly, many regulated industries. I am really interested in something you have touched on at a high level, but perhaps we can go more deeply into it: what are the principles that will guide your decisio…” | 77 |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 540) “Going back to the point about maintaining confidence in UK markets, if you felt that the regulatory burdens were actually conflicting with that, what signs would you be looking for and what actions would you be taking?” | 37 |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Business of the House “The Leader of the House will know that I hold him in great respect, but over the two years for which I have been in this place, I have seen a pattern of behaviour in the final week before the recess—business is announced at the very last second, particularly when it concerns local government reorganisation—and we are s…” mp-performancedefenceother | 134 |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 540) “Before we move on to the next question, are there any other core or personal principles, or a business raison d’être, that you would have at the centre of your approach?” | 31 |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 540) “You have mentioned AI several times. I am also particularly interested in your reference to cyber-security.

How do you think the FRC can lead on that through audit processes or other types of …” | 60 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Maritime and Coastguard Agency “Last week, I met Paul Greenwood of the Selsey coastguard, one of a team of CROs who cover my constituency. The Court ruled that coastguards can be workers when paid for duties; it did not order Ministers to scrap payments. Can the Minister tell me what lawful alternatives were considered, why the impact assessment has …” labour-markettransport | 94 |
| 30 Jun 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 479) “I was particularly interested in what both David and Tom were saying, but am interested to hear your perspectives also.

The one point t…” | 213 |
| 29 Jun 2026 | Topical Questions “Local businesses in Bognor Regis and Littlehampton tell me that they are not recruiting due to the additional cost and uncertainty created by the Employment Rights Act 2025.

| 23 Jun 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 130) “I want to get some facts on the table as we kick off, so I am going to ask the same question of each of you. I will go sequentially down the line, starting with Wolfgang from eBay. How many products are currently for sale on your marketplace, and what systems do you have in place to monitor their safety?” | 60 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 130) “We have a lot of questions to get through, so I will ask very specific questions to set the framework.
