“Almost 4,000 people with jobs in my Bolton West constituency still need universal credit to cope with the cost of living. Heating, water and food bills have been stubbornly high. What steps is the Minister taking to ensure that families in my constituency get the support they need to pay the bills?”

“Taking that a little bit further, I read in my briefing here that in November the Chinese Government announced a ban on all Japanese seafood products and restricted the exchange of cultural products, including freezing licences for Japanese films and cancelling concerts by Japanese musicians. In January, China announce…”

“I do not believe so, if we had sufficient notice.”

“Thank you, Chair. I declare an interest as the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on anti-corruption and responsible tax.

“On the security of the base, does my hon. Friend recall the visit to Washington DC that I think we both went on last year as members of the Foreign Affairs Committee? We spoke to many American interlocutors, including State Department officials. Over the course of an entire week in the US capital, not a single US inter…”
