Speeches by Naish.

“British International Investment’s climate change strategy was published in 2020, but what we are seeing is obviously a significant shift in the data. The World Bank is estimating that by 2050, climate change could force more than 200 million people to move within their countries. So is work ongoing to update that stra…”

“But ultimately, when that data is available, how do we make it easier or more likely that countries will accept the movement of people?”

“That makes sense. Mónica, obviously there will be mass movement—the climate will require that. How do you think we solve the problem of states being unwilling to accept or assume responsibility for citizens who have been displaced when travelling between countries?”

“I want to turn to the subject of climate refugees—I think there were 26.4 million such internal displacements in 2023, but by 2050 that number is projected to grow to 200 million or more people moving within their own countries. Arafat, in your view, is it feasible to revise the 1951 refugee convention to give better p…”

“Achim, what will the effect on displacement be in the coming years if the annual climate finance gap is not met?”

“The pressure that comes from displacement is not just a UK challenge. It is arguably continental—for the whole of Europe, or broader. Do you have a view on how the EU and the UK could work more effectively in these places?”

“As the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on fusion energy, I know that fusion technology not only has the potential to create thousands of jobs, but could also be the answer to our long-term clean energy security needs. Does the Minister agree with me that supporting fusion is a good example of the Government’…”

“It is a pleasure to speak as the proud Member of Parliament for Rushcliffe, the home of Nottingham Forest football club. Many will know that Forest fans have had a season to remember. It has been brilliant to watch the men’s team performing so strongly in the premier league and I am hopeful that a place in Europe becko…”

“On that point, the previous Government committed to doubling investment in this area. Would my hon. Friend, like me, welcome the current Government matching that, if not improving on it?”

“I am a neighbour of my hon. Friend. She will know that Severn Trent received an £18 million reward for the quality of its PR19 plan, but in its “Water Quality Report 2025”, Surfers Against Sewage says that it failed to meet its targets every year in that period. Despite that, it has been awarded £93 million for its PR2…”

“That is absolutely fine, Chair.”

“That is correct, yes. Thank you, Chair and Members of the Committee, for hearing me out on why I think this would be a good 90-minute Westminster Hall debate. The supply chain is obviously critical to our economy, no matter the industry, and we know that hydrogen has huge opportunity. I am grateful for the support from…”

“I think there are two Liberal Democrats and one Conservative on here at the moment. There is general interest, I think, in the growth of hydrogen, as has been seen from the previous application. Indeed, hydrogen is present in a lot of constituencies across the country on a small scale, so I am confident that there woul…”

“It would be DESNZ, which is how it is differentiated from the previous application. This is about the broader approach to the industry and our strategic thinking when it comes to the role of hydrogen.”

“Yesterday, on 2 April, I received an unprompted letter from the Home Builders Federation, which said: “A recent Freedom of Information request…shows that Rushcliffe Borough Council holds £50 million of unspent developer contributions in total, equivalent to £1,000 per household. This is the fifth-biggest amount in the …”

“Does the right hon. Member agree that a sense of where incinerators are located around the country would be helpful, so that we could see the demand for incineration versus the capacity? That might reveal oversupply in certain parts of the country.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Vickers. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Bedford (Mohammad Yasin) on securing this important debate. I note with sadness that barely any Conservative Members—whose party presided over the system when it was in government —are here. The impact of university…”

“I put on record my sincere desire to see the Israeli hostages returned as soon as possible. The International Development Committee recently spent time in Geneva as part of its inquiry on international humanitarian law. We discussed at length the way that countries increasingly conflate the legality of resorting to war…”

“As has been noted, the actions of Milorad Dodik over the past few weeks and months have seriously undermined the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina and have undermined the Dayton peace agreement, which ended the country’s 1992-to-1995 war in the aftermath of the horrific genocide that took place in Srebrenica. What st…”

“As an energy industry professional before entering this place, I am very pleased to see that Great British Energy is making impressive strides. It has secured a landmark partnership with the Crown Estate, and we have seen it commit to more and more solar power, which is much welcomed by my constituents. We have also se…”
