Speeches by Baxter.

“11. What steps her Department is taking to tackle illegal working.”

“The Scottish National party pretends to be on the side of elderly people in our communities, but despite the rhetoric, the SNP-led Renfrewshire integration joint board has taken the heartless decision to slash funding to the Food Train—a vital volunteer initiative that supports our elderly residents with prepared meals…”

“While I have you—and tell me if it is not your area—on the RTS switch over, do you have a view on that process and what else the Government could or should be doing to make sure that people are not left in a position where, as outlined in the previous panel, either people’s heating was always on or always off and runni…”

“A very quick follow-up,and thank you all for attending today. I am interested in what you were saying there, Simon, about the RTS switch off. I am concerned about that. I am in a constituency with a substantial number of constituents who are affected by that. I was wondering if you could give us your view in terms of h…”

“I think you have answered most of my questions already, but it is interesting what you were saying about the data-sharing working group. To what extent will sharing that data enable different utilities companies to target support?”

“It was about to what extent sharing that information will enable suppliers to target support.”

“Are there any unintended consequences that we might need to be aware of in terms of that data sharing?”

“Thank you and I will take your contact details afterwards.”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the matter of returning forcibly deported children to Ukraine. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stuart. I start by welcoming a distinguished guest to the Chamber: Olena Kondratiuk, the Deputy Chair of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, who is here with her …”

“I thank the hon. Member for his intervention. Indeed, I will come later in my speech to what I hope the Minister will be able to set out. The report also highlights that Ukrainian children in occupied areas are now being used to support Russia’s drone development and production efforts. Children are being made to assis…”

“I completely agree, and I have already called for the Government to recognise a UK day of action, to highlight the profile of this issue to the wider public. Our report calls for Russia to publish a full register of all Ukrainian children in its custody, as required under the Geneva convention. We are calling for Russi…”

“I thank every hon. Member who has participated in the debate. I cannot do justice to all the contributions in the time that I have, but the strength and depth of feeling expressed by colleagues across the House should send a strong message to President Putin that this is a heinous crime to which we all object. The hon.…”

“You have touched on the question that I was going to ask: how important do you think it is for poverty measures to take account of individual circumstances? For example, those inescapable costs you have referred to—obviously, in the north of Scotland, the price of energy is one, but I am also thinking about the costs r…”

“Johanna Baxter, Member of Parliament for Paisley and Renfrewshire South.”

“I have been really moved by your testimony, Katriona, and in particular what you said about teachers being able to believe in kids. It was Dr Vincent Oates for me—thank you. What measures and indicators of poverty have been the most useful in work to reduce child poverty? Who wants to give me a very brief response?”

“How crucial is the de-politicisation of discussions on child poverty and facilitating meaningful progress on tackling it?”
