Speeches by Taylor.

“But how?”

“Thank you, Minister; it is good to see you again. Just to pick up on some of what the Chair has said, the reports coming from some of these NGOs are suggesting another Srebrenica. Many of us in the room signed the memorial book for that; I really hope that we will not be signing memorial books for what is happening in …”

“A constituent of mine tried to act as a good samaritan by handing in a handbag that they had found in the town centre, but they could not do so because Hemel Hempstead police station’s front desk had been closed under the last Government. They were told that they would have to travel to Hatfield police station, which i…”

“Last August, a police officer was hospitalised after being hit with a sledgehammer while responding to a Palestine Action attack on a business near Bristol—a fact that was absent from our debate when we voted to proscribe that organisation recently. The attackers had sledgehammers, axes, whips and other home-made weapo…”

“Turning to Syria now, the news there is a bit better, in the sense that we have seen the fall of a brutal dictator, and much joy among people in this country, including our vibrant Syrian community. But of course there are very many challenges, as you know—not least the ongoing worries around sectarian violence flaring…”

“Can I ask a follow-up on that? There is a concern that some Syrians in the UK wanted me to raise—it is ultimately more a matter for the Home Office, but I wondered whether you had a view. The news that we are going to stop pausing asylum claims is very welcome. Germany has offered people whose status is not yet settled…”

“Briefly to follow up on that overuse question, are you willing to share a view on what some of the biggest meat producers in the world are doing and whether they recognise the problem—China and the US in particular? Are they recognising the problem and taking action to reduce the overuse of antibiotics in meat producti…”

“You have spoken to a lot of the question already, so if you could potentially put 75% of your answer, both of you, into what reforms would be needed to get pandemic preparedness to a place where it should be at a global level. By all means spend a little bit of time saying anything else you have not said about how we a…”

“I was grateful to the Secretary of State for showing his love for Hemel Hempstead when he came to launch a new scheme on solar panels the other month. On the question of new nuclear and clean jobs, could the Minister outline how communities like mine in Hemel Hempstead will benefit from these new jobs?”

“7. What assessment he has made of the role of new nuclear in supporting a clean energy transition.”

“Q6. Hemel Hempstead is a new town that was built by a Labour Government after the second world war and provided decent housing to families like mine, yet 80 years on, the No. 1 issue in my case work is a shortage of housing. I therefore welcome this Government’s commitment to build thousands of new homes. In my constit…”

“I thank the Minister for his answer and for his kind words about Roy Briggs. His family and I are also grateful for letter that he wrote to them. I had the privilege of attending his funeral last week. He was a real servant to our country, having flown in many brave missions over Europe. He was part of one of the RAF’s…”

“2. What steps he is taking to support veterans in Hertfordshire.”

“This is a question to David and Kate. Could you explain why energy access is so important to climate adaptation, please?”

“Thanks very much. David?”

“Hi everyone. Kate, this is a question specifically to you. Why do you think the world is currently not on track to meet SDG 7?”

“Thank you. How do you think the UK is contributing to this global effort at the moment? How do you rate its contribution?”

“Hi everyone. Kate, this is a question specifically to you. Why do you think the world is currently not on track to meet SDG 7?”
