| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill “One area that will blight the lives of many of my right hon. Friend’s constituents as it does mine is, of course, primary care dentistry. People can move from one end of the country to another into a dental desert—Wiltshire is one of those. Does he think that there is a case for putting a duty on integrated care boards…” defencehousinghealth | 99 |
| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill “I thoroughly approve of removing the artificial barrier between the reserves and the regulars—I speak as a reservist and as somebody who perhaps in the past might have had a greater interest in that than I do now. The Haythornthwaite review of armed forces incentivisation is made flesh by the some of the measures in th…” defencehousinghealth | 141 |
| 2 Jun 2026 | Armed Forces Bill “What about other organisations, including civilian organisations, that work very closely with our armed forces and can deploy with them, such as the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes? An argument could be made for them to be covered as well. It would be interesting to hear whether the Minister has any plans for that—…” defencehousinghealth | 78 |
| 21 May 2026 | Middle East “The behaviour of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir brings shame on all of us who consider ourselves to be friends of Israel. Given that the joint comprehensive plan of action was not working and Iran continued to advance its plans for a nuclear weapon, how would the Minister have de-fanged the regime? While he is right to claim so…” defencesocial-careeconomy-jobs | 104 |
| 21 May 2026 | Business of the House “In his business statement, the Leader of the House rightly referred to fly-tipping waste criminals. Will he allow for a debate in Government time to consider a different sort of waste perpetrated on our constituents, which is that arising from so-called energy-from-waste plants, otherwise known waste incinerators, whic…” local-governmentcost-of-livingeconomy-jobs | 87 |
| 21 May 2026 | Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill “On that point, will the Secretary of State give way?” economy-jobsdefenceenergy | 10 |
| 21 May 2026 | Middle East: Economic Response “The announcement on red diesel will be welcomed by my farming constituents, who will await the details on the tariffs the Chancellor has cited with a great deal of interest and a certain amount of trepidation. Does she acknowledge that a third of the world’s fertilisers pass through the strait of Hormuz, and that the i…” cost-of-livingenergyeconomy-jobs | 95 |
| 21 May 2026 | Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill “In keeping open the options that the Secretary of State hints at, has he had any discussions with his colleagues in the Ministry of Defence? At least for the foreseeable future, there will always be a need for virgin steel for certain defence applications.” economy-jobsdefenceenergy | 44 |
| 20 May 2026 | Defence Readiness “I am following the hon. Member’s remarks with a great deal of interest. He mentioned the reserves, and I am a reservist. Would you give the Government credit where it is due for carrying over the Armed Forces Bill, which will advance the age of retirement for reserves to 65, and agree with me that we can probably go fu…” defencefiscal-policy | 92 |
| 20 May 2026 | Defence Readiness “My right hon. Friend will not be surprised to hear that I absolutely agree with him. This is about more than Northern Ireland, because Northern Ireland has a read-across to a number of theatres where our men and women are actively engaged or could be in the future. The exodus from some of these units will cause irretri…” defencefiscal-policy | 270 |
| 20 May 2026 | Defence Readiness “May I genuinely congratulate the right hon. Member for Ilford North (Wes Streeting) on a remarkable speech and wish him well in his future ambitions? His speech and its content were, I am afraid, not as germane as the contribution of the hon. Member for Slough (Mr Dhesi), who chairs the Defence Committee. I agree with …” defencefiscal-policy | 1,276 |
| 20 May 2026 | Defence Readiness “Will the hon. Gentleman remind the House which party it was that insisted we delay the replacement of the continuous at sea deterrent by two full years as a condition of the coalition?” defencefiscal-policy | 33 |
| 20 May 2026 | Defence Readiness “I follow the Minister’s words, as always, with much interest. Has he had a conversation with the former Health Secretary, the right hon. Member for Ilford North (Wes Streeting), who last Thursday spoke of dither and delay, and does he relate that to the extraordinary delay in the defence investment plan?” defencefiscal-policy | 51 |
| 28 Apr 2026 | National Accident Prevention Strategy “With a huge sense of trepidation, as he was not here for the openings—or at least not until the very end of them.” healthtransporteconomy-jobs | 23 |

| 28 Apr 2026 | Fire and Rescue Services: Funding “I will call Matt Vickers to move the motion and then call the Minister to respond. I remind other Members that they may make a speech only with prior permission from the Member in charge of the debate and from the Minister. As is the convention for 30-minute debates, there will not be an opportunity for the Member in c…” local-governmenteconomy-jobscost-of-living | 63 |
| 27 Apr 2026 | Northern Ireland Troubles Bill (Carry-over) “I represent a very large number of veterans. What are they to make of the remarks made by the Attorney General, who has suggested to his human rights lawyer friends that they have done more for the sum total of human happiness than the brave, highly decorated men and women of our armed forces, many of whom I have the h…” defencelocal-government | 65 |
| 27 Apr 2026 | Northern Ireland Troubles Bill (Carry-over) “Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the person who is likely to draft those amendments is the Advocate General for Northern Ireland, who is one and the same Lord Hermer? What confidence does the hon. Gentleman think the armed forces community can have that this Bill will be any better?” defencelocal-government | 50 |
| 27 Apr 2026 | Dunmurry Police Station Attack “Jon Boutcher has been fairly critical of a number of political parties, including, it must be said, the party of government. He is clear about the fact that his force, the PSNI, is not funded like other forces across the United Kingdom, and he believes that that is partly due to legacy issues—a position that will be ma…” crimedefence | 79 |
| 15 Apr 2026 | Strategic Defence Review: Funding “Well-placed sources are suggesting that the number of Type 26 hulls on the order book may be reduced or transferred to our Norwegian allies. I appreciate that Labour has a track record of reducing the number of frigate and destroyer hulls, but can the Minister nevertheless confirm that there are no such plans and that …” defencefiscal-policyeconomy-jobs | 95 |
