14 Jul 2026 Public Office (Accountability) Bill
It is very welcome to see this Bill back in the Commons to complete its final stages, even though we all expected to see it on the statute book by now. While I understand why there have been frustrations and concerns about the last-minute …
13 Jul 2026 Death of Ann Widdecombe

13 Jul 2026 Business of the House
I thank the Leader of the House for taking this action. I appreciate that these are not ideal circumstances, but much about the passage of the Bill has been less than ideal. Does he share my hope that tomorrow’s debate will be about the su…
8 Jul 2026 Maritime and Coastguard Agency
I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests and my membership of the GMB trade union. I am sorry to say that it beggars belief that the response of a Labour Government to a court judgment confirming wor…
6 Jul 2026 Civil Service Pensions
My constituent logged into the pension portal this morning and it told him that he had only been employed by the civil service for one year, not the 35 that he had been employed for. He was told this by an agency that did not even exist wh…
2 Jul 2026 Commonhold and Leasehold Reform: Managing Agents
Yes, indeed. Residents of an estate in Eastham have been paying for a sewer that they cannot actually locate, which just shows that there is too much ambiguity over what these charges are for. Finally, local authorities could be given p…
2 Jul 2026 Commonhold and Leasehold Reform: Managing Agents
I start by referring the Chamber to my chairmanship of the leasehold and commonhold reform APPG, where I work closely with organisations such as the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership and the National Leasehold Campaign, to which I pay tribut…

2 Jul 2026 Business of the House

1 Jul 2026 Draft Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (Legal Aid: Anti-social Behaviour and Prevention and Investigation Measures) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2026

24 Jun 2026 Climate Change
My hon. Friend makes an interesting point, because there are a whole range of factors, which I will come to, in why people are not purchasing the vehicles. The industry is still keen to have a clear signal on where we are heading, but the …
24 Jun 2026 Climate Change

10 Jun 2026 Draft Scotland Act 1998 (Increase of Borrowing Limits) Order 2026
