10 Jun 2026Belfast: Violent Disorder

It has been a shocking two days in Northern Ireland. The horrific knife attack in north Belfast has left a man fighting for his life, and an entire community distressed by what they have seen. Justice must of course take its course and deliver for that victim, whose family have asked for calm. Last night brought furthe

Thanks, all. That was really useful.

This is it. They then probably will not come back, as we are finding.

Shane and Simon, I will come to you briefly, but the clock is ticking because we have NIQs in a few minutes. Are there any issues, separate from those that Richard has touched on, that are important for us to know?

There is one very quick question for me because we have an eye on time. I wanted to come back to skills. Each of your sectors is strong, strengthening and has huge potential for the region. I wanted to get your assessment of the skills pipeline. Are you getting the school leavers and graduates that you need? In particu

3 Jun 2026Improving the UK Visa System

I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate, and thank the hon. Member for Mid Bedfordshire (Blake Stephenson) for securing it. In doing so, I acknowledge the complexity of the issue and the dynamics, which many Members may agree with, or be susceptible or exposed to, in their constituencies. I do so also as

20 May 2026Defence Readiness

Will the shadow Minister acknowledge that no party and no victims’ group in Northern Ireland supports the Conservative party’s approach to the past, and that even the Dillon judgment last week did not in any way rule it legal? Would he not agree that soldiers following the rule of law is a matter of recruitment, too? N

22 Apr 2026Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1847)

I suppose that my point is that they are not being made. My mother-in-law has all her energy stuff on her phone, and she can decide when to plug things in, which is allowing the grid and the energy mix to be more sustainably used. We seem to be years away from doing that, and I do not have a sense of progress. I do not

22 Apr 2026Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1847)

It is an energy mix, and I do not think that anybody is suggesting that we can or will transition because of the mix, although, clearly, there are opportunities to better plan the use of energy close to renewable sources, as is happening, if you are taking a more strategic look. I hear from businesses all the time abou

I just want to ask about the targeting. We are really glad that the Executive brought forward a package. I have to say, as the opposition, we spent six weeks saying that they should bring forward a package, and they said that that was only for London, and we were just writing letters to London. It is good that it is th

We have been here before, and we get really good strategy documents that are then not matched up with funding. Warm, healthy homes, if delivered and realised, would be transformative and make individual households more energy-secure or at least efficient. Are you confident about the delivery of that and it being transl

22 Apr 2026Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1847)

Overall, the geopolitical instability is a feature now, and particularly the volatility that we are particularly exposed to. We discussed briefly the ground-level adaptations that people can have access to in order to make their home a little bit more efficient, but, at the macro level, we need to transition to more su

Could I ask you about the fuel poverty strategy, which was launched in February, with various commitments and targets? Are you confident that that is funded and is going to be a set of promises that is going to be kept? As stakeholders, are you being engaged in how that will be delivered?
