Speeches by Campbell-Savours.

“Yes. I was hopeful that the question on accountability would come back to the push from the Treasury for you to concentrate on economic statistics. There is that wider set of Departments that want more. You have mentioned hypothecation and how that is pushing you to concentrate on certain things. I also got a sense fro…”

“I am going to make an observation, if it is okay. It might help you to answer the question differently than you did previously. When we were talking about culture, you talked about some of your own interactions, but this is an organisation of over 4,000 people. This is a report about culture; this is about that wider t…”

“I wonder if we can be explicit on something. Do you not recognise the criticisms in the Robert Devereux review at all?”

“But considering the importance of the labour force survey, why was resource not shifted into that area to protect it?”

“As I understand, convictions simply for displaying the name of a proscribed group have been extremely rare unless there has been clear evidence of intent to promote a group’s more extreme actions. If that is the case, and as it is clear that the acts of protest and civil disobedience seen in recent days are not acts th…”

“Would you foresee some kind of formal response to that request?”

“When we were discussing the independent adviser before, you used the word “inundated”, I think—correct me if I am wrong. If we are putting those challenges to the Prime Minister, I am trying to work out how that would not equally end up with them being inundated. Am I missing some practical application in what you are …”

“I want to look at this from the ministerial code perspective. I appreciate that you suggested that there might be sanctions options that could fall outside of the ministerial code. What do you believe could potentially be sanction options from the ministerial code that the Prime Minister could consider?”

“Do you not believe that there any options that the Prime Minister could have?”

“That is a specific case where you are laying a charge at the Prime Minister and his own actions about what is misleading. Paragraph 9.2 of the ministerial code suggests that the Prime Minister will be consulted on paragraph 9.1. Do you believe the capacity is there for the Prime Minister to be in a position to judge wh…”

“Back on to the ministerial code, you mentioned the role of officials. The current independent adviser has told us that he does not see it as his role to advise on breaches of the ministerial code, such as breaches of 9.1. Do you think that the independent adviser should have a different view on that?”

“So you do not foresee a role for the independent adviser where they advise or adjudicate on breaches; rather, they would just be a conduit to put the suggestion, “Was this a breach, Mr Prime Minister?””

“It is a pleasure to speak in this debate, which comes at a good time to take stock of my first year serving my constituents in this place. I am extremely grateful to the old hands for their sage advice; however, there is one piece of advice I was given that I am happy to call out as the worst I have ever taken. “Don’t …”

“As I understand it, Hamas want Egypt, Qatar and the United States empowered as legal guarantors not only for a 60-day truce, but up to the signatory date of any final agreement with Israel. Can America not be prevailed upon to act as a guarantor beyond the final settlement? Hamas could be forced to reconsider their obj…”

“The press regularly runs stories where economic migrants are quoted describing what they believe are the benefits available to them in the UK and the work opportunities that our relatively under-regulated labour markets offer. Does the Minister agree it is time that we considered Labour’s ID cards plan, scrapped by the…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for North Northumberland (David Smith) for securing this debate and for his work on this important issue. I would like to share two personal reflections that shape the way I view religious freedom and its place in our foreign policy. The first reflection is on my lifelong faith. Betwee…”

“I do agree, and that is a difficult one for me as a Labour Member. All I can say is that I will hold my Government’s feet to the fire on ensuring that we return to levels of overseas development assistance, which I recognise is an important contribution that we make internationally. More than 80% of the world’s populat…”

“Maymi, James, Caleb, Riley, Noah P, Kadie, Louisiana, Mylo, Sienna, George, Penny, Ethan, Isla, Noah G, Harry, Ruby, Faye, Brad, Joe and Oliver are all children in year 6 at Stoneraise school. Like many of my constituents, they are conscious of how far away Cumbria is from Westminster. As they leave primary school late…”

“Early-day motion 1496 sets out how Samiul Ahmed bought Cockermouth’s Old Courthouse for a knock-down price and, ignoring professional advice, allowed the listed building to collapse into the River Cocker. [That this House notes in July 2022 Samiul Ahmed of Tower Hamlets purchased The Grade II listed Old Courthouse, Coc…”

“Like many Cumbrians, I am delighted and relieved that the Government have agreed funding for the A66 trans-Pennine project. It never should have been in doubt, and it is clear to me that it would not have been were it not for the financial legacy of the previous Government. Ministers can now look forward to me lobbying…”
