Speeches by Patrick.

“On all four outcomes that are listed.”

“Against the three, where have we failed? I do not think anyone would have said, “Stopping Putin is at the top of your list—you can definitely achieve that.” Is it something we probably should have made some progress on and have not, or does it come back to the outcomes being slightly too woolly?”

“On that point, I am pleased to hear that growth will be in the new priorities that we develop. I do think acknowledging failure up front is an important opportunity to learn lessons. Against those four priority outcomes, I appreciate that so much has happened in the world that you could not have anticipated, but where …”

“Is that common?”

“That is very gracious of you, Richard—thank you. You said that the last Government chose not to publish metrics. Why?”

“On the pay gap, when can it be eradicated? What is the plan? When will your successor be able to come here and tell us, “There is no gender pay gap”?”

“I would really appreciate it if a note could be written to us with an actual aim, because we need some ambition to stretch yourselves to achieve that.”

“Q3. Emily left her ex, but the abuse did not stop. He stayed in their home, cancelled the mortgage contributions and destroyed her credit score. Now she cannot even take out a mobile phone contract. Surviving Economic Abuse and UK Finance have made progress in tackling this issue, but more has to be done. Will the Prim…”

“I congratulate the hon. Member on securing a debate on such an important issue. He mentions Claire House, which also has a site in my constituency. Claire House is an essential part of our health and social care system, and on my visit there, I could see the clear passion and pride that people have in that service and …”

“Today, the Chancellor has not only made history, but has opened up Britain’s future once again—history maker, game changer. Governments do not decide the conditions in which a Budget is made, and nobody would choose these conditions, after 14 years of Tory failure, but Governments do get to decide the choices that they…”

“The chutzpah from Conservative Members is quite incredible. Does the Minister agree that although they make a point today about process, they totally ignored the Office for Budget Responsibility ahead of the disastrous mini-Budget, which is still causing immense pain to my constituents?”

“There are many honours in this role, and one is to be able to take part in important debates such as this and hear the expertise and passion of hon. Members across the House. I will start by paying tribute to the many carers who do incredible work in my constituency. At times of immense need, they step in, day after da…”

“Today, as at so many times in the history of the Jewish people, we are bound in grief and mourning. Will the Prime Minister assure the Jewish community that we are not alone in that grief, and will he take this opportunity to join me in praising the dignity, courage and love shown by the families and friends of the hos…”

“It is great to see my right hon. Friend in her place. Connections between my constituency of Wirral West and north Wales are many, they are deep, and they are valued on both sides of the border. Sadly, though, our transport connections are lagging behind. Could she please set out what conversations she is having with M…”

“I declare an interest: prior to entering Parliament, I worked at Pay.UK, the payment system operator for the UK. I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. He raises an important point, not just about the cost of fraud to people and businesses, but about data sharing across banks. Does he agree that a m…”

“4. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help improve transport infrastructure in Wales.”

“I am grateful to follow the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon). I have had a short time in this place, but I already know that he often sits in the Chamber and listens to everyone: to Members across the House. I listened to his points as well and will make these points to him. On this issue, like so many others, …”

“My hon. Friend mentioned that 98% of parents who make an appeal are successful. Does he share my concern that that suggests that parents who should be supported are instead encountering a system that layers uncertainty and stress on an already difficult and stressful situation? On the Wirral, we do not need to see insp…”

“I welcome the Foreign Secretary’s call for an immediate ceasefire, because that is the route for hostages to be returned home and for aid to flow into all corners of Gaza, and I welcome his call for a two-state solution, because that is the only route to a lasting peace in the region. I also welcome the clarity about t…”
