Speeches by Morello.

“The hon. Member is just in the nick of time, so I will.”

“Outdated sewer systems mix clean rainwater with sewage, polluting rivers and placing strains on outdated infrastructure. If the Government are intent on not making water companies statutory consultees, a national rainwater management strategy mandating rainwater harvesting on new homes and major renovations would ease …”

“5. What assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of requiring water companies to be statutory consultees for new housing developments.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for raising one of the most important points that is often lost in this debate: the enormous toll that this process takes on our farming community. That toll may be the constant culling or, more accurately, the constant cycle of testing, which is hugely expensive for farmers. Many of the those wh…”

“To go back briefly, Andrew, to your point about undeclared and unobvious links between Chinese business groups and British business groups and lobbying groups and so forth, I am interested in your perspective on whether what is being labelled the China super-embassy for London would increase the CCP’s ability to influe…”

“Perhaps you can expand on that slightly, Dr Madrid-Morales. A lot of the state actors that you outlined at the beginning would not be described as democratic states. The politicians who are rising to the forefront in Africa—often backed by Russian military contractors—tend to be non-democratic actors. The broader quest…”

“In terms of the timeline, just so we understand where the role of Russian propaganda and Russian disinformation is, there are countries like Mali, where France has been actively asked to leave and replaced by Russian private military contractors. Is that on the back of concerted propaganda and disinformation efforts? I…”

“Just to carry on from that a bit, can you explain whether what used to be Wagner Group, now Africa Corps, is a medium through which Russia is doing misinformation in Africa in the areas where it is active, or is that element still run out of more traditional state apparatus?”

“I cannot deny that clause 4 of the sentencing Bill is a step forward for victims, but I believe it can go further by specifically mentioning physical and psychological harm. Clause 4 amends the statutory purposes of sentencing to specifically include the protection of victims of crime, a measure recommended by the inde…”

“Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?”

“The right hon. Gentleman mentioned that the Cabinet Office propriety and ethics team produced a report that was presumably handed to the Prime Minister, and that was certainly done prior to the announcement. Does he agree that the Minister must tell us whether the Prime Minister read that report, and whether it contain…”

“The right hon. Gentleman is right to highlight the Committee’s repeated requests to meet Lord Mandelson before his appointment. He also raises the various responses that we got from the Foreign Secretary. The important fact that there were questions about the suitability of the appointment means that there must also be…”

“By the end of September, more than 640,000 Gazans are projected to face catastrophic food insecurity, while the integrated food security phase classification predicts that a further 43,000 Palestinian children will be at severe risk of death from malnutrition by next year. The Government will have received legal advice…”

“12. What steps she is taking to help ensure that the UK upholds international law.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way, and for the passion with which she speaks about this subject. I wanted to raise the case of my constituent, Jean, an adoptive mother who cared for a son who has foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and developmental trauma. I wanted to…”

“Over half of UK farms have a net value of over £1.5 million. Farmers are already worried about the family farm tax and are now looking at the potential tax rises that the Government are floating for the upcoming Budget, including increased rates of inheritance tax and other forms of property taxes. These are our food p…”
