Speeches by Mohamed.

“Yes. During his opening speech at COP30, President Lula warned that we are living in an era of fake news and misrepresentation. What forms of climate related disinformation do the Brazilian Government consider might be most harmful to international climate co-operation?”

“Who do the harassment and threats come from?”

“Under the previous Government, we had hostile policy after hostile policy, from the “go home” vans to the Windrush scandal and Rwanda, all of which failed to deter people from making dangerous crossings and failed to fix the asylum system. What is dividing communities is the constant anti-refugee rhetoric pumped into o…”

“There is a recognition that we need to do more on our climate priorities and on addressing increased aviation. We definitely need to explore that, and I will press the Minister on it in the future. The revenue raised could be used to support domestic priorities, including insulating homes and building clean energy, and…”

“Thank you for your stewardship in the debate, Sir John; I will do my best to be as brief as possible. I thank all Members for their contributions and interventions. On the whole, they have been extremely positive, and they have wanted our Ministers to be as positive and ambitious as possible in tackling the climate cri…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered progress on the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. This week marks the start of COP30 in Brazil, a moment when world leaders, scientists and campaigners come together, united in purpose, to confront the climate crisis h…”

“The Government should consider how consumers’ bills can be reduced. I want to see the warm homes plan feature, and I want it published so that we can have appropriate conversations about what is in it. If the cut to investment without guaranteed funding from elsewhere goes ahead, billions of pounds and over 100,000 job…”

“Okay.”

“I would like to ask about the presence and influence of fossil fuel lobbyists. At COP29, for example, there were many more delegates from fossil fuel organisations than there were from countries who were representing themselves. How can we ensure that there is progress at COP30 when there are polluters responsible insi…”

“With the US disengaging now from the international climate agenda, how do you think this presents an opportunity for the UK to have a more significant leadership role?”

“How do you think the UK could play a stronger role in that aspect?”

“Do you think that there should be a conflict of interest process similar to the tobacco industry?”

“My name is Abtisam and I sit on the Foreign Affairs Committee. In doing an inquiry, we have had the opportunity to discuss this particular issue and that particular region. One of the key aspects that came through quite prominently was that, in making sure that we have a viable, strong and functioning Palestinian state…”

“Were you asked to fast-track the vetting process? That is a very short timeframe to appoint somebody to such a senior position.”

“In any of that process, was any part skipped, removed or stripped entirely?”

“My question relates directly to my colleague’s question. In terms of timescales, he was appointed on 20 December.”
