Speeches by Rushworth.

“It is a fair comment. We were disappointed. It was very last thing on a Thursday afternoon, so hopefully one of the things is to put it earlier on the Thursday, but that is not that is not my gift to give. Certainly, we will follow up with everybody who has signed up for this, providing them with briefings ahead of the…”

“Years ago, we did address it. There was an outcry about it that is not currently matched.”

“It is good to be in front of you all again. It is an application for a Chamber debate on a significant topic that affects all our constituents, which is that boys are underachieving at every level of education. At SATs, only 57% are achieving the required standard, compared with 64% for girls. At GCSEs and achieving th…”

“A lot of people who work for you on the ground are former soldiers, part of DDR programmes. It is rumoured that thousands of them have been put on notice due to cuts. Is that correct and what is the impact of that?”

“Yes.”

“May I ask one more question?”

“Does that include the clearance of landmines?”

“What are the obligations of assistance?”

“I want to ask about the international legal framework, particularly to you, Hélène. We are looking for solutions, so is there anything that you think we should be promoting?”

“You pre-empted my last question, which is whether you will let us know if you see examples, because it is so important that this Committee and the Government understand the human costs of our decisions.”

“I appreciate that.”

“Could I pick up on a point that Beth Lewis made in her first response? Beth talked about the need to ensure that funding was more easily available for some of these local organisations. I presume that they may be on the frontline of the cuts that we are seeing many countries in the world introduce. Is that your experie…”

“When a larger international NGO is engaging local actors, who is responsible for their safety? Is it left to their own risk assessments and evaluations, or does the NGO play a more active role in evaluating that risk?”

“Daphne, building on that, can you think of any examples where the information that local organisations can provide assists with the UK’s diplomatic and humanitarian response?”

“19. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help support people to use electric vehicles.”

“Some 58,000 households in County Durham, including many in my constituency, are unable to charge their vehicles at home. What support are the Government giving to innovative local schemes such as kerb charging so that we can make electric vehicles more accessible for all my constituents?”

“A moment ago, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) mentioned GDP per capita; I see that he asked his question and ran away. The truth is that GDP per capita increased by only 4.3% in the past 16 years, compared with 46% in the years prior. What matters to my constituents in the left-behind towns and villages of B…”

“The Prime Minister has said he is going to go line by line through the budget. We know that 0.3% is actually 0.14%, assuming no change in in-country asylum spend. Which FDCO programmes do you think should be protected against future cuts within that 0.14%?”

“I am grateful for the opportunity that the Bill provides to put on record the importance of discussing the scourge of child poverty in our country, particularly as it relates to children’s nutrition. It is a simple fact that the height of an average five-year-old increased progressively until 2013 but has since reverse…”
