Speeches in the chamber
15 Jul 2026 Young People
I note the Minister’s doughty protestations on behalf of the Secretary of State, but noting that is one thing. What message does she have for the 800,000 young Scots who were unable to vote in the 2014 referendum about her party’s continue…
15 Jul 2026 Young People
The Minister will know that the Secretary of State is regularly to be heard talking about his many, many good friends. Does she believe that the Prime Minister-elect is one of those good friends, and, while we are on the subject of young S…
8 Jul 2026 Rearmament and Warfighting Readiness
It has been around for 50 years; it is not novel. The hon. Member for Macclesfield (Tim Roca) referred to £45 billion for the nuclear enterprise. I think the figure in the DIP is £64 billion. That is an important point, because the Gove…
8 Jul 2026 Rearmament and Warfighting Readiness
I thank the hon. Member for Tunbridge Wells (Mike Martin) for bringing such a prescient and timely debate to the House. I pay tribute to the right hon. Member for Rawmarsh and Conisbrough (John Healey) and the hon. and gallant Member for …
8 Jul 2026 Rearmament and Warfighting Readiness
The hon. Gentleman is very kind to give way again, as he is right in the middle of unpicking the DIP thread by thread. Does he agree that we need to look at the manifest, substantial disappointment that we and everyone in uniform see in th…
7 Jul 2026 Summer Jobs
Looking to the future, a job vacancy has just come up in Clacton. It would be good to know whether the Labour party will be putting forward somebody of a youthful nature as its candidate. To get back to the core issue of the debate, the Mi…
7 Jul 2026 Summer Jobs
It is always nice to be the Minister’s first refusal. Have I put him off his stride?
7 Jul 2026 Summer Jobs
Will the Minister give way?
7 Jul 2026 Summer Jobs
The Minister is talking up the economic performance of the United Kingdom since his party took over in 2024. He is labouring the point about the first quarter of this year, but I detect that he is less confident about the second quarter—we…
6 Jul 2026 Royal Navy Surface Fleet
We learned from the defence investment plan that there will be no new Type 83s or Type 32s, but we will get some unspecified, undetermined and uncrewed—and currently unbelievable—replacement. That is precisely the same sort of budget-cutti…
1 Jul 2026 Engagements
I am gravely concerned that time after time this Prime Minister, in response to the abject and honest criticism of his defence investment plan, cites recent trends in defence spending, when he should be calibrating it against the chronic a…
30 Jun 2026 Department for Work and Pensions
The hon. Member is talking with great clarity about the number of young people who are no longer accessing the world of work, which we know can define people for the duration of their working career. Does he lament, as I do, the catastrop…
30 Jun 2026 Defence Investment Plan
This defence investment plan is 300 days late and £13 billion short. It ensures that we fall further behind our allies and face greater exposure to those who would seek to do us harm, and it leaves us falling short of our NATO commitments.…
23 Jun 2026 Defence Spending and Readiness
The Minister talks up the effect that our armed forces deliver in various different theatres, but they are doing so on a shoestring. While the DIP is delayed, apprentices will not start this August in Scotland or this September in England.…
10 Jun 2026 Promoting Scottish Interests Abroad
On the case of Peter Mandelson, the Secretary of State says, “I’m in the clear because the Prime Minister says so.” The Prime Minister is also up to his neck in the Peter Mandelson scandal, so that is no clean bill of health at all. We saw…
10 Jun 2026 Promoting Scottish Interests Abroad
On the case of Peter Mandelson, the Secretary of State expects—[Interruption.]—
10 Jun 2026 Promoting Scottish Interests Abroad
Thank you, Mr Speaker. When the Secretary of State first took up his job in government, his first priority should have been advancing the economic interests of Scotland across the world, but we now know what he was really up to instead. Hi…
20 May 2026 Banking Hubs
I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. Could she give my constituents some comfort that after the review—I am certain it will find that the current criteria set out for Link by the FCA are deeply flawed and exist in a random, abstra…
20 May 2026 Banking Hubs
On that point, will the Minister give way? [Laughter.]
20 May 2026 Processed Russian Oil Products: Sanctions
There is a really unfortunate supply and demand dichotomy here—and I have to remind the Minister that he is bound by collective responsibility, because while it might be a different Department, it is still his Government. On the one hand, …
