| 13 Feb 2025 | Business of the House “Last week I met two of my constituents, Mark Farrow and Stephen White, who volunteer for the Driving Ukraine charity, which takes modified vehicles to Ukraine to serve as ambulances and for other humanitarian purposes. Later this month, they will take one more vehicle out, funded by generous donations from local people…” economy-jobsimmigrationlocal-government | 105 |
| 13 Feb 2025 | Ukraine “I welcome what the Minister has said from the Dispatch Box. Does she agree that in this new world, and in the event of any peace deal, the United Kingdom and its European allies must lead in providing Ukraine with military support and, potentially, military presence across land, air and sea, to give Ukraine confidence …” defenceeconomy-jobs | 78 |
| 6 Feb 2025 | Public Procurement: British Produce “I welcome the Government’s focus in this area. One of the barriers that small agricultural businesses in my constituency face in supplying the public sector is the complexity of the contracting process. The Crown Commercial Service made significant improvements to its portal last year, but I urge the ministerial team t…” agricultureeconomy-jobs | 79 |
| 7 Jan 2025 | Topical Questions “Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, yet it has no national screening programme. We worked on this issue in government, and I thank the Secretary of State for taking an interest in this area. Will he join me in commending Prostate Cancer Research’s excellent new report and urge his team to consider the fin…” healthsocial-care | 82 |
| 21 Nov 2024 | Transport Infrastructure “I thank the Secretary of State for agreeing to meet me and the hon. Member for Westmorland and Lonsdale (Tim Farron) about the A66. While there is a strong economic case for dualling, the road safety considerations concern me most. As she will know, 12 people tragically lost their life on the road last week. I recently…” transportenvironmentlocal-government | 106 |
| 14 Nov 2024 | Topical Questions “In our increasingly volatile world, I am sure the Secretary of State will agree that food security is of growing importance to our national resilience. I hope he will commit the new Government to continuing to publish the annual food security index, with the next update coming at next year’s farm to fork summit.” agricultureenvironmentutilities | 54 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Budget Resolutions “On the day that the Prime Minister took office, he said that he wanted to restore trust to British politics with action, not words. Today, his actions speak for themselves, with a Budget that contains broken promise after broken promise and reveals the simple truth that the Prime Minister and the Chancellor have not be…” economy-jobscost-of-livinghealth | 126 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Budget Resolutions “I am sure that those on the Government Front Bench were wanting to explain to the young couple in their constituencies saving to buy their first home that their taxes are going up, and to the family wanting to pass on their farm or their business to their children that their taxes are going up. The parents sacrificing …” economy-jobscost-of-livinghealth | 432 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Budget Resolutions “Today, the Chancellor has launched an enormous borrowing spree, saddling our children and grandchildren with billions upon billions of pounds of more debt, pushing up interest rates, leaving our economy more exposed to future shocks and leading the OBR today to now forecast higher inflation in every year of the forecas…” economy-jobscost-of-livinghealth | 1,162 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Budget Resolutions “Labour Members do not like it, but this is the truth: they have fiddled the figures and raised tax to record levels. They have broken their promises, and it is the working people of this country who will pay the price. The Chancellor and Prime Minister have tried to say that they had no choice, but let us be in no doub…” economy-jobscost-of-livinghealth | 516 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Budget Resolutions “Britain’s poorest pensioners squeezed, welfare spending out of control and a spree of tax rises that the Government promised the working people of this country they would not do. National insurance—up. Capital gains tax—up. Inheritance tax—up. Energy taxes —up. Business rates—up. First time buyer’s stamp duty—up. Pensi…” economy-jobscost-of-livinghealth | 54 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Engagements “Finally, may I point out that tomorrow is Diwali? I became leader of my party during Diwali, and I now stand down during that same festival. I am proud to have been the first British Asian Prime Minister, but I was even prouder that it was not that big a deal. That speaks volumes about the values of the British people,…” healthhousingeconomy-jobs | 88 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Engagements “As Prime Minister, the right hon. and learned Gentleman will be acutely aware of the threats that our United Kingdom faces from an axis of authoritarian states: Iran, North Korea, Russia and China. In particular, I am proud of the way in which this House has united in standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine, and I…” healthhousingeconomy-jobs | 149 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Engagements “The Prime Minister has the immense privilege of being Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is a special part of our Union, but one that needs particular care, attention and respect. Having a strong, functioning Assembly at Stormont is good for the people of Northe…” healthhousingeconomy-jobs | 116 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Engagements “Our two predecessors, Sir Tony Blair and Lord Hague, have repeatedly come together and powerfully argued in their joint reports that it is vital for the future prosperity of Britain’s economy, society and public services for us to be a world leader in technology and innovation. The Prime Minister and I may not yet be a…” healthhousingeconomy-jobs | 99 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Engagements “That is very kind of the Prime Minister. I know he is partial to the Lake district, but perhaps we can tempt him over to our end as well. Yorkshire is famous not just for its walks, but for being home to some of England’s greatest cricketers. Sadly, no one is going to put me on that list—but who knows? I now have a lot…” healthhousingeconomy-jobs | 172 |
| 30 Oct 2024 | Engagements “Mr Speaker, thank you for your kind words—and, indeed, I thank the Prime Minister for his kind words. No Prime Minister looks forward to PMQs, but I always did like this pre-Budget one. It was, for a change, nice not to be the main event but just the warm-up act. As you said, Mr Speaker, today is my last appearance at …” healthhousingeconomy-jobs | 193 |
