| 23 Jun 2026 | Modernisation Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 152) “It’s a stitch-up.” | 3 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Modernisation Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 152) “There is not really a ballot—is that maybe what you are insinuating?” | 12 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Modernisation Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 152) “That is very helpful. I did wonder how it worked, but you have clarified that for me. Thank you. Both the Backbench Business Committee and the Petitions Committee experience very high demand. How do you think that demand might be managed more effectively? Tom, do you want to go first?” | 50 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Modernisation Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 152) “Sir David, can I go back to something you said earlier in response to how time is allocated in Westminster Hall on the Tuesdays and Wednesdays and by the Chairman of Ways and Means through the Speaker’s ballot. You suggested that sometimes people get preferential treatment in that ballot. Did I misunderstand what you w…” | 79 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Modernisation Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 152) “Is that because of the slot they get given? I know from Committees I have served on that, when the opportunity to have a debate has been there, it is usually on a Thursday when we would often be rushing back to our constituencies. Maybe it is because they have not been given a prime-time slot.” | 56 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Household Budgets “The Chancellor has overseen huge tax rises for those who work hard and do the right thing. Now they have been hit by soaring energy bills—a situation that is even more acute for many of my constituents who rely on heating oil. How does the Chancellor think that squares with the Government’s pledge to cut energy bills?” cost-of-livingenergyfiscal-policy | 57 |
| 23 Jun 2026 | Household Budgets “1. What assessment she has made of the potential impact of her Department’s policies on household budgets.” cost-of-livingenergyfiscal-policy | 17 |
| 22 Jun 2026 | UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence “My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. Against a backdrop of the Jewish community asking for extra protections, it is entirely understandable that a petition built around allegations of hidden pro-Israel influence has generated such deep anxiety. Many British Jews hear in that language echoes of accusations that have…” mp-performanceculture-communityother | 468 |
| 22 Jun 2026 | UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence “I am grateful to my right hon. Friend the Member for Sutton Coldfield (Sir Andrew Mitchell) for his point of order. As he will discover during the course of my contribution, I have a great degree of sympathy with his remarks. I refer hon. Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. While I will…” mp-performanceculture-communityother | 1,288 |
| 22 Jun 2026 | UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence “I beg to move, That this House has considered e-petition 752646 relating to pro-Israel influence on UK politics and democracy. It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Mrs Harris.” mp-performanceculture-communityother | 33 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 48) “Will the new system address that? It will not create any new Ministers or new spads to help with that process. It just strikes me that, ultimately, there is only so much capacity at that bit of the process. I do not know whether the new system will address that.” | 50 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 48) “Can you identify the bottleneck that has been causing the drop in performance? Are the rewrites that you mentioned the main issue?” | 22 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 48) “Good afternoon, Minister, and Mr Foot. I was going to ask about when you expect to get back to the 85% level, but you have confirmed that, hopefully, it is going to be in November. Can you explain what the process is within the Department? The question comes in and it goes to the policy people in the Department to draf…” | 82 |
| 17 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 48) “Analysing what you just said and thinking back to my time in Government, sometimes there were issues with spads and the Minister sitting on responses and not signing them off quickly enough. Is that an issue?” | 36 |
| 16 Jun 2026 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 113) “Looking at it from the start of the process, in terms of this hypothetical Committee’s power to scrutinise a Minister’s decision about whether to hold an inquiry, do you think a Minister or Government would welcome the Committee’s scrutiny and judging of the decision, or would they guard that decision-making process fo…” | 56 |
| 16 Jun 2026 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 113) “You have touched on this already but the Committee recommended, “a new committee of Parliament should scrutinise a Minister’s decision not to hold a public inquiry.” Can you give us the pros and cons of such an approach, please?” | 39 |
| 16 Jun 2026 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 113) “How would you assess the tools that Parliament has currently to encourage Ministers to set up inquiries?” | 17 |
| 16 Jun 2026 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 113) “Is that over 80%?” | 4 |
| 16 Jun 2026 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 113) “Looking at recent history, what has been the split between statutory and non-statutory inquiries? Has there been any shift in recent years?” | 22 |
| 16 Jun 2026 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 113) “Is cost a factor when deciding between statutory and non-statutory inquiries?” | 11 |
