| 19 Jun 2025 | Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill “I felt disturbed by quite a lot of the emails that I received from constituents—some of them who are my friends and people I like—implying that we here are either too stupid or careless to care for the most vulnerable. Is it not true that we all do care, whatever decision we make today, and that we have to continue to …” healthsocial-care | 71 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “No, it is not.” | 4 |

| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “In the last panel, we heard that more conservative communities are more receptive to nature recovery and the benefits to nature. Is that similar in Northern Ireland?” | 27 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “So all of those messages would land well if they were packaged up in the right support for jobs, for people’s pockets, for something that they can see with tangible benefits?” | 31 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Jobs?” | 1 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Do you think that UK Government support should be focusing more on energy security or on the narrative around climate change? We have already investigated a bit what is a more popular approach. Do you think that would be the same in Northern Ireland and that, ultimately, if the Government focus on the message of energy…” | 68 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “In many research projects—or whenever we talk about it—local leadership is always seen as very important, but what do you think that the UK Government could do to create that trust or these counter-narratives?” | 34 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Is that linked to Stormont often not sitting? Do you think that had an influence—that the messaging was going out from the UK, which is a long way away, and Stormont was not sitting?” | 34 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Bath is as close to Northern Ireland as we can make it. The latest Northern Ireland Life and Times survey indicates fewer people in Northern Ireland believe that human activity is the primary cause of climate change compared with those recorded in the UK and Europe. Why do you think this is? We have already heard about…” | 61 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “So it is linked to the economy?” | 7 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Have you seen any changes in support for particular things? Is it the big things like EV or heat pumps, or are there other things where you have seen changes in support?” | 32 |

| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Do you find that people trust these new technologies or not?” | 11 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “Is it that some things are plain wrong, and misinformation drives all of that, and if only there was reliable information that would disappear?” | 24 |
| 18 Jun 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734) “It is absolutely fascinating, because you have already pointed out that there is general support for net zero—people are generally saying yes to it—but when it comes to the specifics it becomes more fragmented. I am wondering whether that is reflected in the support and whether, once you know a bit more about it, how c…” | 111 |
