Speeches in the chamber
30 Jun 2026 Financial Inclusion: Young People
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. You have launched an unfortunate trend of people fessing up to their first jobs; however, it gives me the opportunity to make a point about the context in which we are debating t…
24 Jun 2026 Taxation (Energy and Vehicles)
I am grateful to the Minister for clarification that there is active consideration of an end date for that higher rate of 55%, but he will know that the 45% rate had an end date too. Will the review also consider announcing the end date fo…
24 Jun 2026 Taxation (Energy and Vehicles)
I thank the Minister for his very clear laying out of the measures before us. May I say that sometimes there is no place for partisanship? Perhaps we have had a taste of that today. I have a series of questions for the Minister. As I di…
24 Jun 2026 Taxation (Energy and Vehicles)
For covid!
23 Jun 2026 Economic Strength
I am sorry, but the Chancellor’s recollection of her record is fantasy economics from a fantasy economist. Is it not the case that her true record is poor decision making: with U-turn after U-turn on winter fuel payments, business rates an…
22 Jun 2026 East Midlands Railway Collision
I thank the Secretary of State and her ministerial team for the support they have given Members of Parliament in affected constituencies since the collision, and add my voice to the many who have praised the response of Bedfordshire emerge…
13 May 2026 Debate on the Address
Finally, something we can agree on.
13 May 2026 Debate on the Address
That is a bit weird.
28 Apr 2026 Retail, Hospitality and Leisure: Business Rates
This month, a comprehensive survey by UKHospitality showed that one in seven of our hotels, pubs and restaurants will close as a direct result of the Chancellor’s policies. Many of those businesses represent the hopes and dreams, hard work…
15 Apr 2026 Pension Schemes Bill
Then why worry?
19 Mar 2026 Banking Services: Accessibility
I have to say to my Liberal Democrat friend that the Liberal Democrats’ position is that taxing big businesses, big banks and big tech can pay for everything. I think I have heard the moneys from that being allocated to well over 20 differ…
19 Mar 2026 Banking Services: Accessibility
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Western. I join everyone in congratulating the hon. Member for St Ives (Andrew George) on not only securing the debate but opening it so clearly. He laid out the particular issue in Pen…
10 Mar 2026 Youth Unemployment: Autumn Budget 2025
Last month, The Times reported that the Government may drop their pledge on minimum wage equalisation over fears of youth joblessness, and the BBC reports that the Government are considering a delay. Can the Minister advise whether the Gov…
10 Mar 2026 OBR Growth Projections: Departmental Spending
The Government’s spending plans look very, very iffy. The Minister has a chance of fitting in with the Chancellor’s fiscal rules—if there is no further downgrade on economic growth, which seems unlikely; if the Government have the backbone…
24 Feb 2026 Charter for Budget Responsibility
No, never!
24 Feb 2026 Charter for Budget Responsibility
I thank the hon. Member for his intervention. I think his issue with the Barnett consequentials is one for the Minister to reply to, but the Conservative and Unionist party, as he knows, has very strong support for and kinship with our cit…
24 Feb 2026 Charter for Budget Responsibility
I thank the Minister for a succinct opening speech. The charter for Budget responsibility seeks to confer the important attributes of stability and credibility on a Government’s management of the public finances and the wider economy. “…
27 Jan 2026 East Park Energy: North Bedfordshire
The Minister is talking about cumulative impacts from projects. Just so that it can be on the record, the point I was trying to make is that one consideration is the cumulative impacts from solar farms; the other is that there are a lot of…
27 Jan 2026 East Park Energy: North Bedfordshire
My hon. Friend makes two important points. First, during world war two, London would have starved without agricultural produce from Bedfordshire. More importantly, the Minister must recognise that we are supportive. We know that the Govern…
27 Jan 2026 East Park Energy: North Bedfordshire
Madam Deputy Speaker, may I start by thanking you and, through you, Mr Speaker for permitting me to speak on this important constituency matter. I also welcome the Minister. For the benefit of those who may be not familiar with the process…
