Speeches by Murray.

“Archibald Young, a foundry in my constituency, manufactures components that are vital to our national security, yet it now faces a devastating blow from Labour’s tax changes. We are hearing that food production—another cornerstone of national security—will also be decimated by these measures. This issue goes to the hea…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (Jamie Stone) for bringing attention to the matter. As my colleagues have made clear, the Liberal Democrats believe in devolution. Our votes pushed it over the line in 1999, delivering a Scottish Parliament and taking decision making closer to …”

“We talked earlier about the food strategy. To what extent were your organisations involved in the development and implementation of the strategy? What assessments have you made, if any, after its publication?”

“So you are happy that the devolved nature of the work is working well and that it is appropriate for it to be seen as a four-nations approach.”

“Food sustainability is a key part of the strategy. As regulators, what are your biggest concerns regarding the sustainability and safety of the food system, particularly with respect to, as was mentioned earlier, the climate change and geopolitical pressures? How would you like to see those addressed?”

“Do you have any guidelines on what you will accept as sponsorship, for example in terms of the nutritional value of a food supplier? On the one hand we are selling public benefit and health benefits, and on the other you absolutely need to find sponsorship to support the Games. How do you look at any company that offer…”

“I notice that you have an intention to make sure that people who can get the most out of volunteering are selected for it. How are you going to do that?”

“I must say that my constituency of Mid Dunbartonshire neighbours the village centre that you are talking about, and my constituents are visitors and regular attenders. I remember coming up to the last Commonwealth Games, the whole city was given a spruce-up; there did not seem to be one park railing that had not been p…”

“Will there be expenditure by the council and Glasgow Life that is specifically related to the Commonwealth Games?”

“How much commercial funding do you need to deliver the Games? How much have you raised so far, or had promises on?”

“What has delivering the event without public funding meant that you cannot deliver? What more would you have liked to deliver?”

“Q9. Calithea Studios in Mid Dunbartonshire is a prime example of a business doing everything the Government ask. The owner of this beauty salon and her three employees each earn less than £30,000 a year, yet the business will pay the Government over £36,000 for the year in VAT, employer’s national insurance and pension…”

“I thank the right hon. and hon. Members who secured the debate, as well as those who have shared their story. Every Member here agrees that the tragedy of losing a child is one of the greatest anyone can face, yet sadly it is all too common an experience; nearly half the population has either experienced the loss of a …”

“I completely agree with that principle, but our systems are not always designed with it in mind. Delays in death certification, the coronial process and registration services frequently mean that families are unable to bury their loved ones within the required timescale. Some local authorities have taken steps to impro…”
