Answer · 24 Jun 2026
Women Against State Pension Inequality Ltd (WASPI) are seeking permission from the High Court to bring a Judicial Review on our response to the Ombudsman’s report. We do not comment on live litigation.
Planning: Green Belt
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what safeguards are in place to ensure the grey belt definition is not being applied more broadly than intended.
Answer · 22 Jun 2026
The government has not changed the five purposes of the Green Belt set out in paragraph 143 of the NPPF, and we do not propose to alter its general extent. In its response to the 30 July 2024 to 24 September 2024 consultation on proposed reforms to the Na...

Speeches in the chamber
6 Jul 2026 Environmental Protection
I welcome the robustness and energy that the Minister has brought to her task—it is very welcome. Inevitably, the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Chester South and Eddisbury (Aphra Brandreth), wants to revert to some kind of light-to…
2 Jul 2026 Business of the House
I have not yet had the opportunity to mention the knighting of Kevin Sinfield—a great human being, a brilliant sports player and, I suppose above all, a humanitarian. One of his distinguishing characteristics is his modesty, but modesty ca…
21 Apr 2026 Peter Mandelson: Government Appointment
I have spoken in a previous debate about Labour Together, so I will let the right hon. Member’s comments stand for themselves. This was a faction that sought to change the Labour party into something that it never was. If we continue do…
21 Apr 2026 Peter Mandelson: Government Appointment
No, I will make progress; there are many Members on both sides wanting to speak. The hon. Member may well be pleased with some of the things I am going to say. I am developing an argument, and I want to proceed with it. The question I h…
21 Apr 2026 Peter Mandelson: Government Appointment
Those two Prime Ministers in particular—the chaotic and the exotic—left this country in a disastrous situation. I do think that a Prime Minister who comes to the House and implies that he relies on a culture simply of process is mistaken. …
21 Apr 2026 Peter Mandelson: Government Appointment
There are many ways of developing a culture for how to run the Government in No. 10. I was a witness to that in the years from the financial crash through to the defeat of the Labour Government—between 2008 and 2010—when I saw a Prime Mini…
13 Apr 2026 Middle East
I echo the comments about the President’s statement on Easter Sunday, when he said that he could destroy a 2,500-year-old civilisation in an evening. Is it not clear that the strait of Hormuz was open before the President foolishly launche…
13 Apr 2026 Local Youth Services
I thank the Minister for her response. In the austerity years, over £1 billion was taken out of youth services by the previous Government—that was shameful and damaging to the social fabric. The Minister has already indicated that we are b…
13 Apr 2026 Local Youth Services
12. What discussions he has had with local authorities on the adequacy of the provision of local youth services.
25 Mar 2026 Engagements
Q7. Two members of the same family in my constituency recently suffered serious health problems. The NHS was there for them, as we would expect, and they are both hopefully on the road to recovery. The recently departed hon. Member for C…
24 Mar 2026 Middle East: Economic Update
I welcome the Chancellor coming to the House as soon as possible to make a statement. On profiteering in the fuel sector, the last time there was a problem with oil prices was after the war began in the east, when the then Government, foll…
23 Mar 2026 Middle East
I join my right hon. Friend in paying tribute to members of the armed forces, and I acknowledge too the difficult path that he has to tread. The Government’s stated objective was to achieve de-escalation of this war led by diplomacy, yet t…
10 Mar 2026 Courts and Tribunals Bill
No. I have only five minutes, and I will have to move fast. The Deputy Prime Minister did convince me, and I am sure all of us, that there is a backlog, and it is not reasonable or fair, in terms of justice, that people should wait so l…
10 Mar 2026 Courts and Tribunals Bill
When I was working for a living as a building worker, rather than being here, if there was a backlog of work, we were told to work through the night and at weekends, and on not very much additional pay. I wonder how it is that, today in ou…
10 Mar 2026 Youth Unemployment: Autumn Budget 2025
The unemployment situation in my constituency and across the Yorkshire coalfield is becoming a crisis. There are 1,980 people out of work in my constituency and 70 job vacancies—that is almost 30 unemployed people pursuing every single job…
5 Mar 2026 Business of the House
I welcome what the Leader of the House said about youth unemployment—it is essential that we tackle this problem. Unlike the Conservative party, which was happy to have 3 million people out of work under Mrs Thatcher, Labour must tackle un…
23 Feb 2026 Schools White Paper: Every Child Achieving and Thriving
I heard today from one of my constituents who is struggling—in agony, almost—to get proper recognition of his children’s needs. When can he and everybody else expect to see results from the Secretary of State’s announcement? On the attainm…
23 Feb 2026 Labour Together and APCO Worldwide: Cabinet Office Review
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. The House will have heard me suggest that the Minister had received a donation of almost £60,000. I withdrew that suggestion following an indication by the Minister that it was not correct. I have now had a…
23 Feb 2026 Labour Together and APCO Worldwide: Cabinet Office Review
The Minister is shaking his head. If what I have said is untrue, I withdraw it, but a number of Ministers did receive money. Did it not leave a bad taste in many people’s minds—if you can have a bad taste in your mind—that so many Minister…
23 Feb 2026 Labour Together and APCO Worldwide: Cabinet Office Review
May I put it to the Minister that a significant number of Ministers in this Government, including him, received large sums of money from Labour Together? I think he received almost £60,000.
