Speeches by Sewards.

“My question is for Sean. You have already answered this in part with your first two answers but please can you tell us, and you do not need to repeat any of the information you have given so far, about your work in Tees Valley to develop a curriculum that takes into account those challenges that are faced by low-income…”

“That is very helpful and answers one of my follow-ups, which is about what work you have done with families and children to understand where they are so you can design your curriculum. My only other question is you mentioned outcomes before, you talked about the importance of GCSE results, and I think you mentioned hea…”

“Again to Sara, sticking with the religious education curriculum, what are the challenges associated with the way that religious education is dealt with by legislation? I have a specific example here but I thought I would ask you the open question first.”

“Brilliant. Are there any strengths to having locally developed religious education curriculums?”

“I thought that was an interesting point about media studies. It got a bad rap at the time but I remember studying media studies and it gave me valuable skills to analyse the content that I was seeing. I have never been able to see a documentary in the same way again. My first question is to Professor Lundie but it is o…”

“A full-scale war between Israel and Iran is clearly in no one’s interests, but neither is a nuclear-armed Iran, so what is the Government’s realistic proposal to return to diplomatic solutions as soon as possible and to get Iran to give up its nuclear weapons programme? How realistic is it that Iran will engage in such…”

“I associate myself with the comments made by the Minister, the shadow Foreign Secretary and many others from across the House in expressing condolences. My thoughts have been with the families, friends and the people who have lost loved ones in the Air India crash. I represent a lot of people in Leeds South West and Mo…”

“We could probably extract an answer on this from your previous answers but I want to ask you directly in the short time that we have left, and I will start with Dr Castro-Kemp. How would you evaluate multi-agency working? What changes, if any, would you make to improve and promote collaboration across education, health…”

“To wrap up because we are short on time, the Government are proposing to make changes to SEND in 2026, next year. Would you like to add anything to the answers you have already given that you think the Government should focus on to make sure that education is inclusive for children with disabilities and special educati…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered Government support for mass transit in West Yorkshire. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. Last week, I was delighted to have secured this debate, and the confirmation of its date came through just an hour before the news that the Government will ind…”

“I thank the hon. Member for his incredibly timely contribution—I could not agree more. One reason that some residents of Leeds were sceptical last week was the repeated failures of previous Governments of different colours to deliver the transport improvements that we know we deserve. I am here to say that this time it…”

“I appreciate that time is short. We are making good progress on getting the paused White Rose train station, based on Churwell Hill, restarted. I have been working very closely with the combined authority to ensure that that station is built, and I am pleased to say it will be soon.”

“The Opposition spokespeople, the hon. Members for Harrogate and Knaresborough (Tom Gordon) and for Broadland and Fakenham (Jerome Mayhew) tempted me to make interventions, but I resisted then and I will resist now. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered Government support for mass transit …”

“I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, having visited both Israel and Palestine just a few weeks ago. I welcome the Minister’s statement today, as sanctioning these two extremist individuals is exactly the right thing to do; they are enemies of peace, and no two-state solution will…”

“I appreciate that the Minister cannot comment on individual planning applications from the Dispatch Box, but when I speak to Hongkongers in my constituency, they are seriously concerned about the risks that come with transnational repression and that might come along with the creation and construction of this embassy. …”
