Speeches in the chamber
9 Jul 2026 Israeli Settlements: Trade Ban
As well as the ban on trade with settlements that we are debating, does my hon. Friend agree that the Government now need to spell out exactly how they will seek to dissuade those who might engage in the E1 project, which would be so damag…
8 Jul 2026 Societal Impact of AI: Government Policy
I absolutely agree. That phenomenon of so-called cognitive offloading and the lack of scaffolding in skills is a genuine concern. Equally, we see how rapidly and accurately AI can assess tumour scans, for example, working with human beings…
8 Jul 2026 Societal Impact of AI: Government Policy
The hon. Member raises a really important point, and it is part of a broader picture. My understanding is that something like only half of all schools have an appropriate AI policy. Simply saying to students, “Don’t use AI”, having an unor…
8 Jul 2026 Societal Impact of AI: Government Policy
It is a real pleasure to speak in this debate. I am very grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Poole (Neil Duncan-Jordan) for securing it, and I agree with many of his remarks and those made by other speakers. I particularly agree with…
1 Jul 2026 Israel: E1 Zone Expansion
I will not ask the Minister to comment on future sanctions designations—I understand he cannot do that. I want to ask him about something different: the scope of the multilateral statement. He will be well aware that the statement did not …
30 Jun 2026 National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation
The lack of national maternity triage standards has been of huge concern to a number of my constituents, in some cases through bitter and heartbreaking experience. The Secretary of State said that NHS England would be responsible for rolli…
25 Jun 2026 Sudan
The Minister is a good man, and I know that he cares deeply about this subject, but the time for calling on the belligerents and their backers to desist, for urging them to stop, or for raising matters with them, has ended. We did all of t…
23 Jun 2026 Environmental Sustainability: UK-Indonesia Collaboration
My hon. Friend is making another important speech after that of my hon. Friend the Member for Bristol East (Kerry McCarthy). Does he agree that it is concerning to hear from reports of eyewitnesses that around 40 indigenous people have bee…
23 Jun 2026 Environmental Sustainability: UK-Indonesia Collaboration
My hon. Friend will recognise that where there is such degradation, huge amounts of biodiversity are lost. Indonesia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, and I am grateful to the Indonesian Government for the work that the…
16 Jun 2026 Topical Questions
I recently visited Chad with the all-party group for Sudan and South Sudan, and in that connection we will shortly be registering an interest. Like the Foreign Secretary, I was moved by Chad’s willingness to accept 1.3 million refugees, bu…
15 Jun 2026 Russian Shadow Fleet
I commend our brave forces for their skilful action and welcome my right hon. Friend to his place. He spoke passionately about defending British values, but at the same time as our own brave forces were planning their decisive action again…
15 Jun 2026 Social Media Ban for Under-16s
Five hundred and twenty-seven of my constituents told me that they wanted a ban—I am delighted that the Government have listened to them—and only seven were against. Parents also said in the consultation that they wanted action on recommen…
15 Jun 2026 Building Safety Regulator: Critical Infrastructure
I am very grateful to the Minister’s Department for its work with me on unblocking a major housing scheme in my constituency. The Minister rightly mentions challenges with the BSR and major health facilities. I am pleased to hear what she …
15 Jun 2026 Building Safety Regulator: Critical Infrastructure
8. What recent assessment he has made of the potential impact of the time taken by the Building Safety Regulator on critical infrastructure.
20 May 2026 Artificial Intelligence
The AI Security Institute’s pre-release analysis of AI models did not prevent Grok’s production of over 3 million sexualised images. Even Steve Bannon, of all people, is now calling for mandatory pre-release vetting of AI models, so has th…
19 May 2026 Energy Security
In order to keep to time, I will not. Capital constraints, and relatedly, constraints in compute, are real. We must recognise that while unilateral measures to support sovereign AI are important, their scope is necessarily limited. We m…
19 May 2026 Energy Security
I welcome the measures in the King’s Speech on energy security, as on many other issues. The Opposition’s wrong-headed approach would leave us tethered to global markets that we cannot control. They would lock our country out of much-neede…
28 Apr 2026 Fire and Rescue Services: Funding
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is very important that any reorganisation of services involve the engagement of firefighters, because they know the service and its needs best? Does he share my relief that Oxfordshire county council h…
21 Apr 2026 Topical Questions
On Sudan and the failing international response, will the Foreign Secretary consider further economic measures and sanctions, including against the nationals of the countries that support the belligerents? Will she encourage the Prime Mini…
20 Apr 2026 Community-owned Assets: Government Support
I am very fond of my hon. Friend, but I know many other Members are pushing for their amazing towns to become the town of culture. I agree with him that the programme is an exciting new development, as is what we are seeing in community ow…
