7 Jul 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 511)

Building on the point that Tracy was examining and thinking specifically about polio vaccinations, what can be done to overcome some of the cultural, political, geographical and other challenges that you are facing in Afghanistan? Ms Nader, do you want to come in first on that?

6 Jul 2026 Civil Service Pensions

One of my nine remaining open cases is Dr Carol Furlong, who lost her husband in 2015. She was told in October, after a long battle, that nearly £15,000 would be paid within 28 days. She still has not received a penny. Can the Minister please assure the House that Capita has sufficient resources in place to deal urgent

6 Jul 2026 Environmental Protection

My constituents in Rushcliffe have experienced the consequences of waste crime very recently. In April, there was a fire at the Hathernware industrial estate, eight years after a previous fire. This particular fire raged for seven days and caused significant health impacts for the local community. Will my hon. Friend g

6 Jul 2026 Environmental Protection

I want to go back to the case that I mentioned earlier. For the Minister’s reference, there will be a two-and-a-half-month delay between the Environment Agency wanting to take action and managing to get the court order that will prevent the individual from getting access to the site, where there has been a second illeg

6 Jul 2026Foreign Interference in UK Politics

Several of my constituents have raised concerns about Russian-linked interference in British politics that have been echoed by the all-party parliamentary group for fair elections, of which I, like many Members present, am a member. Its cross-party report “Free But Not Fair” highlighted cases of shell companies and pro

6 Jul 2026 Patient Safety Review

I rise to intervene before the Minister goes down the HSSIB route, which I completely understand is the focus of the debate today. I want to put on record once more the concerns about Healthwatch and its abolition. I know there is a strong desire to see independent patient voice maintained outside the system; of course

2 Jul 2026Air Pollution

This week, Nottingham University hospitals NHS trust declared a “critical incident” after prolonged extreme heat led to increased demand, with more patients suffering dehydration and heat-related illnesses. As my hon. Friend will know, hot spells often go hand in hand with poor air quality. Does he agree that there is

2 Jul 2026Historical Forced Adoption

I welcome today’s heartfelt and important apology. The Prime Minister may recall that 16 years ago, Gordon Brown publicly apologised to Britain’s child migrants—130,000 young children who were sent overseas, often without their parents’ consent, to Commonwealth countries around the world. Margaret Humphreys and the Chi

1 Jul 2026Israel: E1 Zone Expansion

I was proud last year to be part of the Government who finally recognised the state of Palestine. However, the very idea of statehood is illusory when such activities are happening. After four rounds of sanctions, what is being done with international partners to hold individuals to account for forced displacement, as

Is that dependent on the individuals that you described?

30 Jun 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 206)

May I come back on ICF4? Minister, you described quite rightly that we have a lot of staff who want the UK to be world leading and to be seen as world leading on nature and forest commitments. In your view, without those kinds of headline metrics that we are pushing towards and meeting, how could our staff define thems

You mentioned earlier, Minister, that the four Departments are working on climate finance. From your description, one would assume that everything is top dollar.

If I said, “I am world leading in my job, in what I do, because”—what is the next part of that sentence? What would you point to? What is the UK is world leading in for the future?

If ICAI looked at this now, 18 months since you have been in post, do you think that it would have a different impression?

30 Jun 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 206)

But if you look at ICAI’s report, it persistently highlights a blurring of responsibilities and an element of siloing. Do you recognise that as an issue? If so, what is being done to make sure that it is addressed? We are talking about splitting responsibilities in multiple directions here.
