Speeches by Murray.

“You have had the terms of reference—this is the point where it feels like the weirdest job interview—so is there anything else that you want to bring to our attention that you have not been asked about?”

“Have you anything to add, Clare?”

“We successfully managed to apply for an interim banking hub in Kilsyth, which opened only four weeks ago. One of the grounds for having that hub was the closure of the Santander branch in Cumbernauld. There was a push then saying that the nearest alternative was the Santander branch in Kirkintilloch. Six months after t…”

“Does the Cabinet Office have any role in supporting the performance of different Departments in carrying out that work? What performance standards are Departments held to?”

“Thank you for coming in. Could you explain the operation of the Cabinet Office’s cross-Government co-ordination role in relation to FOIs?”

“BriggsAmasco in my constituency invests heavily in apprenticeships for the next generation of mastic asphalt tradespeople. According to BriggsAmasco, only 11 people in that part of Scotland are fully qualified in this work, and the only route to qualifying is through training programmes in England. The only training pr…”

“I associate myself with the comments made by the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Sorcha Eastwood) and the Secretary of State about the bravery of the PSNI and the delivery driver. This attack serves as a timely reminder that, for a handful of individuals in Northern Ireland, a return to violence is never that far away. G…”

“I thank the Minister not only for the statement, but for his engagement with us over the last six months. A constituent of mine applied for her MyCSP pension quote back in August and finally got the quote last week, but she is still a considerable distance away from actually getting money into her bank account. Will th…”

“Following on from that point, I am the Member of Parliament for Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch, which is a relatively urban constituency just outside Glasgow.

“My great grandmother was not a native English speaker; her first language was Scottish Gaelic. In North Lanarkshire, according to the 2022 census, 483 people speak Gaelic in the home, and over 2,000 speak Urdu in the home. The hon. Gentleman suggests that the new clause would make things equal for all, but would it not…”

“We have heard anecdotal evidence of AI being used to draft WPQs. In your view, first, should it be? Secondly, does the system need to adapt to the growth of AI?”

“I hear what the hon. Gentleman says about younger people, but what about the older end of the spectrum? My mother decided that she would give up driving at the age of 84, last February. No longer being behind the wheel of a car was a sound decision for her and probably for most of the people in the local area, but it m…”

“That was going to be my next question, so expand on that now, please.”
