Speeches in the chamber
6 Jul 2026 Civil Service Pensions
Mr Evans applied for early release of his civil service pension on health grounds because of terminal illness in November 2025, but sadly passed away this May. His case is still not resolved, despite repeated urgent representations from my…
2 Jul 2026 Commonhold and Leasehold Reform: Managing Agents
I declare an interest as a leasehold homeowner, which is very common in Sheffield. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Vauxhall and Camberwell Green (Florence Eshalomi) for securing this important debate. I agree wholeheartedly with the…
2 Jul 2026 Historical Forced Adoption
I thank the Prime Minister wholeheartedly for this apology. Everyone present can see the pain, and the real need for this. I want to ask quite a technical point about the national online resource. Families often end up paying huge amounts …
24 Jun 2026 Climate Change
Obviously we cannot do this on our own, which is why the global leadership we show in this space is very important. We have international agreements that aim for 1.5°, but as we have heard, we are heading more towards 2°, 3° or 4°. Moving …
24 Jun 2026 Climate Change
I wonder whether the hon. Member will vote against this measure. That would tell her constituents very clearly her view on this matter. Back in 2008, under a Labour Government, the UK became the first country to introduce a comprehensiv…
24 Jun 2026 Climate Change
I declare an interest as chair of the climate and nature crisis caucus. I also refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. It is a pleasure to speak in support of the Carbon Budget Order 2026. As I stand h…
23 Jun 2026 Puberty Blockers
It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Edinburgh West (Christine Jardine), and I agree wholeheartedly with her comments about homophobia. I remind the House that I am a former biomedical scientist, and I have probably read lots …
21 Apr 2026 Wheelchair Provision: Independent Review Body
Alongside the postcode lottery my hon. Friend outlines, the impact on young people accessing education has huge implications. Not being able to view that data also impacts our understanding of why children might not be attending school. Do…
23 Feb 2026 Schools White Paper: Every Child Achieving and Thriving
I declare an interest: I chair the all-party parliamentary group on SEND, and my partner is training to be a teacher. I thank the Front Benchers for the way in which they have conducted this review. I have been pleasantly surprised to see …
10 Feb 2026 Local Power Plan
The shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Mid Buckinghamshire (Greg Smith), would do well to remember the measly £60 million that the previous Government spent on community projects, and the fact that they were opposed to GB Energy, whereas…
10 Feb 2026 Topical Questions
I welcome the Secretary of State’s leadership in restoring momentum on net zero. Will he outline how the Government’s energy and climate strategies will be underpinned by clear delivery plans, milestones and transparent reporting to Parlia…
10 Feb 2026 Topical Questions
T1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.
27 Jan 2026 Commonhold and Leasehold Reform
I thank the Minister for his statement; the measures will radically improve the system. He will be aware that over 170 houses in my constituency have had their freeholds purchased by Andrew Milne, who is now demanding that residents pay su…
20 Jan 2026 ADHD Diagnosis
The review highlighted the lack of cross-Government working, so I wonder whether, for example, Access to Work could be looked at. Self-employed people currently have to wait six months to access it, and it is obviously a form of early inte…
20 Jan 2026 ADHD Diagnosis
Absolutely. Just to go back to myself again, in a very ADHD way, I did art and drama alongside sciences. I became a scientist before I came here, but without the art and drama I would never have succeeded in science. I think it is really i…
20 Jan 2026 ADHD Diagnosis
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Vaz. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Sefton Central (Bill Esterson) for securing this debate and for raising awareness of the case of Matty Lock. I declare an interest as the chai…
17 Dec 2025 Draft Public Order Act 2023 (Interference With Use or Operation of Key National Infrastructure) Regulations 2025
Given that many of these institutions are universities with licences, and hundreds of scientists and labs work under the 135 licences that the Minister has described, many of which have nothing to do with vaccines, is this not a knee-jerk …
17 Dec 2025 Draft Public Order Act 2023 (Interference With Use or Operation of Key National Infrastructure) Regulations 2025
It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Sir Alec. I have to say, I was a tiny bit anxious about speaking on this issue today, because of the risk of being painted a hypocrite or a traitor to my scientific comrades. I am a biomedi…
16 Dec 2025 Planning Reform
I thank the Minister for his statement. I am very pleased, as I know my constituents will be, to hear about the swift bricks. Ours is a city of nature lovers, and I know that people have been very concerned about BNG, which has been mentio…
16 Dec 2025 No Recourse to Public Funds: Homelessness
