Speeches by Midgley.

“I thank the Deputy Prime Minister for his announcement on the Hillsborough law. For decades, the families have carried the weight of injustice, and Governments have failed to act. Today, the Hillsborough law will be laid before this House, but it must not be another false start. Will the Deputy Prime Minister promise m…”

“8. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to introduce a duty of candour.”

“A book by investigative journalist Nick Davies is out today. It reveals the true scale of the deletion of millions of emails and evidence essential to Parliament, the police and the courts in uncovering the truth about phone hacking by Rupert Murdoch employees. Might we have a debate on the reality of two-tier justice—…”

“The families have been campaigning for a Hillsborough law for 36 years, and their demand has always been clear: a law with a duty of candour at its heart. There have been too many broken promises and missed deadlines. Can the Solicitor General tell me when the Government will bring forward the Hillsborough law? Will it…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Hobhouse. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool West Derby (Ian Byrne) for securing this debate. The day of 15 April 1989 will never leave us. On that day, fans went to the match and never came home. They were not “lost”. They were unlawfully killed: auth…”

“T4. What ambitions does the Department have for sectors and technologies that GB Energy will prioritise, since the chief operating officer has said that he wants to evolve it into a major energy company, and what might that mean for job creation, including in constituencies like mine?”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West (Dr Arthur), and congratulate him on bringing this crucial Bill before the House. I pay tribute to him and to every Member who has spoken so powerfully today. When this Bill becomes law, it will ease pain, save lives, and ensure justice and fairness in relation…”

“That is great. Thank you. You have all touched on the British industrial competitiveness scheme, BICS. BICS is not coming until 2027. You have also all mentioned the 7,000 businesses in terms of this. How significant is the risk that high electricity prices will lead to site closures in your sector between now and 2027…”

“So what is that? What would your recommendations and solutions be to get to the nub of the—”

“What near-term action is needed to prevent these closures between now and 2027, until the scheme comes into effect?”

“You did not answer before, because I posed the question to David, about what your top recommendations would be in terms of the industrial strategy and the industrial energy costs. What would you see as a solution for this?”

“In terms of the industrial strategy so far and the consultations coming out of that, are you satisfied with the engagement from the Government in terms of listening to and taking on board the views from the sectors? All these questions are for you all, so just jump in.”

“Beth, what is your view on it, and on what the other panellists have said?”

“Thanks very much for coming in and giving evidence to us. I am going to ask questions to you all about the recently published industrial strategy and ask for your views on what it says about energy costs. The industrial strategy was published a couple of weeks ago and included a range of existing and new ways to reduce…”
