13 Jan 2026Universities: Statutory Duty of Care

I thank the Minister for his response. I pay tribute to those in the Public Gallery, and I thank everybody for coming; the debate will not have been easy listening for some, so we appreciate their presence. Secondly, some hon. Members were not able to contribute, including my hon. Friend the Member for Erewash (Adam Th

13 Jan 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1225)

That is really helpful. Can I switch to Bryan to get his take on a similar theme? I understand that you do specific work around conflict prevention relating to natural resources. Could you expand on that?

13 Jan 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1225)

You described climate as underpinning a number of conflicts. Clearly, conflict can displace people, but to what extent is the climate a key driver in forcing displacement?

13 Jan 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1225)

You give a very clear description of the gender vulnerability, as you describe it. How are you working with women, and especially mothers—you mentioned some very young mothers, and women who are being raped and then conceiving and having children—to respond to and prevent further extremism?

13 Jan 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1225)

This is a similar question, but turns attention away from religion and more towards climate change. Tog, to what extent do you view climate change as the key driver, or one of them, in conflict and instability across Nigeria? Are there any particular parts of Nigeria where you see climate change being particularly prob

That sounds like a really impressive range of things that you are doing. Turning to Saratu, including women and girls who have been through some of the experiences that were just described in the peacebuilding process is extremely important. What do you see as the benefits of using women and girls in that process?

13 Jan 2026Universities: Statutory Duty of Care

Yes. That comes as a surprise, without doubt, particularly to parents who find themselves in very difficult circumstances when their children are not well, or in some of the more extreme circumstances that we are thinking about today. I agree that the House needs to look at that. Most universities have wellbeing, couns

13 Jan 2026Universities: Statutory Duty of Care

I will go on to mention the British Medical Association and its latest survey and work on the issue, but my hon. Friend is right to make that point. The patchwork of duties does not amount to a clear or proactive framework for student protection. That needs to be addressed.

I will come to Aisha, if that is okay. You talked earlier about closing gender gaps and building resilience among women and girls. What do you see as being the specific risks to women and girls, specifically in northern Nigeria?

13 Jan 2026Universities: Statutory Duty of Care

Yes. I thank my hon. Friend for raising that point. Undoubtedly, “consistency” is a key word. It is about how we ensure that these issues are dealt with, through universities or associated support services, in a proper and consistent way, no matter where someone is at university. I am not surprised that my hon. Friend’

7 Jan 2026 Rural Communities

I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Too often, rural Britain has been spoken about and taken for granted, no more so than by the Conservative party, which over 14 years left many rural businesses—including family farms such as my own—operating on life support, including through

6 Jan 2026 Future of Thames Water

I think it was more a turn of phrase than anything else, but it was suggested earlier that customers were being treated as cash cows for servicing the debt of Thames Water. Will the Minister confirm that that is not the case, either for Thames Water or for other companies, because investment is ringfenced under the new

6 Jan 2026 BBC Charter Renewal

I am MP for Rushcliffe in the midlands. Is my hon. Friend aware that, according Equity, the midlands generates 25% of the licence fee income, but less than 3% of it is spent in the region? Does he agree that regional disparities need to be looked at in the charter renewal process?

On behalf of my constituents, I welcome the establishment of the Palestinian embassy in London today. Syria’s long-term stability depends on protecting its long-standing diversity and preventing sectarian violence, as the Minister said. In the light of recent violence and the lack of progress this weekend in integratin

5 Jan 2026 Venezuela

I read this morning that a former Under Secretary of Defence for Personnel and Readiness has said that he is not aware of any plans for how the next few days will be managed by the US. May I ask the Foreign Secretary what specific reassurances she has received from US counterparts that that is not the case and that ins
