Speeches by Brickell.

“My hon. Friend is absolutely right to talk about the critical work of animal welfare charities across the country. They can make such a difference. Diane in Ladybridge emailed to say: “This Bill is a major step forward in improving the lives of animals.” She is delighted that it will make it “much harder to exploit pet…”

“I rise to support the Bill, and I commend the hon. Member for Chester South and Eddisbury (Aphra Brandreth) for bringing it to Parliament. I want to make some brief remarks about what is sometimes perceived as a tension between those who wish to responsibly enjoy the countryside, and both the economic toll and the harm…”

“I rise to support this vital Bill, and I commend the hon. Member for Winchester (Dr Chambers) for bringing it to the House. As all Members will know, animal welfare is a major concern for our constituents, and nowhere is that more true than Bolton West. The Bill has been long awaited, and I am delighted that this Parli…”

“The Minister talks about economic growth. I recently met a Mongolian lady working at the Satellite Applications Catapult, which exists to grow the UK space sector. We have heard about Buzz Aldrin and Buzz Lightyear—I am afraid I have a pun coming. With that in mind, will the Minister set out in further detail, perhaps …”

“I beg to move, That the House sit in private. Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 163).”

“Joanne, a constituent of mine, has been badly affected by a botched botox treatment she underwent to help her scoliosis pain, which sadly has left her almost paralysed. The doctor who carried out the procedure did not have the correct licence to practise at the time; had only done a one-day course on botox treatment; u…”

“On a recent visit to Washington with the Foreign Affairs Committee, I was struck by the support expressed by the US Government for the deal to secure the long-term future of the military base on Diego Garcia. Alongside the US, our Five Eyes allies support the deal, NATO supports the deal, and India supports the deal. D…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Turner. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for South Dorset (Lloyd Hatton) on securing this important debate, during which I wish to talk about the contribution of whistleblowers through the specific lens of tackling economic crime—an endeavour to which I dedicat…”

“Richard, to what extent do you think the UN80 initiative and the structural reforms going on provide an opportunity to improve the efficacy of the penholder role, particularly as it plays out for the UK?”

“Martin Griffiths, do you want to come in on the interplay between peacekeeping and humanitarian affairs, given your former role?”

“I want to touch on a slightly different topic. Some of the evidence that we have received to date has suggested that the UN is now primarily a vehicle for responding to humanitarian crises, with reduced involvement in peace settlement or promoting security through peace and security missions. I want to understand what …”

“I will dig into that point about embracing technology for peacekeeping missions, because that is the first I have heard of it. Are there states at the UN in New York that are pushing in particular to embrace technology to support their missions?”

“Thank you, Martin. Richard, will you come in on that? What are your thoughts on how the UN’s conflict prevention mechanisms might be strengthened, given Martin’s comments and the direction of travel we have seen over the last few years?”

“When the Committee visited New York the other month and met the Secretary-General, we had a conversation about the UN80 initiative, which was launched back in March. Among other things, I understand that it is looking at the 40,000 mandates that have been accumulated since the UN was instituted and the 4,000 mandate do…”

“I wanted to touch on the topic of peace and security missions, perhaps starting with Martin Griffiths. The latest iteration of the Global Peace Index, which ranks countries according to their peacefulness, showed that there are more state conflicts this year than at any time since the second world war, and that circa o…”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton Itchen (Darren Paffey) for leading today’s debate. As many Members of this House will know, I am someone who spends many hours out and about on Britain’s rivers and lakes as a keen whitewater kayaker. Regardless of whether it is on moving water, along the coast…”

“Following last month’s Supreme Court ruling about wild camping on Dartmoor, will the Secretary of State confirm whether he believes that responsible wild camping should be permitted in the other national parks?”

“I entirely agree with my hon. Friend’s remarks about improving education and how fundamental it is to do so. Indeed, I support calls from the Outdoors For All campaign to ensure our young children learn essential outdoor life skills such as risk-benefit assessment, self-sufficiency, navigation and swimming in early yea…”
