Speeches by Gilmour.

“I was just coming to that; this takes us neatly on to the debt relief scheme.”

“Yes.”

“Anne, can you answer the same question? I know you come from a slightly more grassroots perspective, at Citizens Advice.”

“A joint campaign for us, Anna.”

“You must have had some data that you can feed into Government to advise them. I am sure you would never consider washing your hands and passing the buck, but I really hope that you might be a bit more proactive and punchy when you are dealing with the Government on debt relief.”

“You can come again, Mr Lewis. We like clear talkers here.”

“I tend to agree.”

“What does it mean?”

“Okay. Four out of 10 as a starter. See you here next year.”

“To go back to what Ofwat and Ofgem are not doing to help vulnerable customers, what more do you think they could do to make potentially eligible consumers aware of the financial support and social tariffs? As a Member of Parliament, I have people coming to my surgeries, and even I—that sounds very grandiose, doesn’t it…”

“Do they not want to establish what it means because they don’t want to offer potential help?”

“It is always a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Turner. I rarely miss an opportunity to speak about farming in this place. It was a privilege last October to be elected by Government MPs as the co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on farming. I suspect that there is too often a perception in White…”

“Today does indeed mark 10 years since Britain voted to leave the European Union. One of the consequences of Brexit has been to bury my constituents in red tape. My farmers cannot export without doing reams of paperwork, and small businesses are seemingly locked out of European markets. The EU remains the world’s larges…”

“13. If she will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing levels of economic co-operation with the EU.”

“Tiverton high school has been on various lists for a rebuild since 1999. I am genuinely grateful to the Department for Education for the work that has gone on behind closed doors since my election in 2024. However, there is still a worrying lack of commitment in public from the Department. Will the Minister give a comm…”

“I am going to try to make my intervention without crying. I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on his impassioned speech. I am a member of the Public Accounts Committee, and this subject came before us a couple of weeks ago when we examined the impact of the infected blood scandal as part of a much wider report on Governm…”

“My constituent Marika built Fortitude gym in Williton from scratch at just 27 years old after selling her own house mid-covid. It has grown into a community wellbeing hub with classes and events, offering support to members coming back from injury, illness and addiction, one of whom went from being on crutches to runni…”

“I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this debate. As everybody knows, I represent the most beautiful constituency in the United Kingdom. As he says, pubs are not just about food and drink; they are also somewhere for people to go to socialise. They are great for people who are lonely. The Butchers Arms in Carh…”

“I rise to speak on behalf of the Liberal Democrats, who broadly support the establishment of a digital system to track the movement of controlled waste. We have long campaigned—as people would expect us to—for stronger waste regulation and enforcement to protect our environment and tackle waste crime after years of ina…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for South Cotswolds (Dr Savage) for giving us all the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the challenges facing community hospitals, particularly in rural areas. Neighbourhood health and care in the community are the thrust of this Government’s health strategy. That is admirable and ri…”
