Speeches in the chamber
9 Jul 2026 Iran Conflict: Ceasefire
The Iranian regime is abhorrent. It has oppressed its people for decades, murdering protesters and activists, and it is no friend of ours. Its attacks on civilian shipping risk a global crisis, yet Donald Trump’s escalation and the US’s po…
9 Jul 2026 Jury Trials
I visited Croydon Crown court a few weeks ago with the Bar Council and listened to some of its members. It was clearer than ever that the demands of jury trials are not what is leaving victims waiting years for justice. The real question i…

9 Jun 2026 Draft Airports Slot Allocation (Alleviation of Usage Requirements) Regulations 2026
There is an interesting dynamic between the impact of a fuel crisis, which is likely to have quite a short lead time, and these regulations, which give almost a six-month warning. Does the Minister recognise the need for oversight of how t…
9 Jun 2026 Draft Airports Slot Allocation (Alleviation of Usage Requirements) Regulations 2026
