Speeches by Obese-Jecty.

“I am Benjamin Obese-Jecty, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Huntingdon.”

“I have found WPQs to be an incredible source and resource for information. Given the number of new Members who came to Parliament in 2024, it is very competitive to get your voice heard in the Chamber or to get an opportunity to ask a Minister a question, particularly via OPQs. We found that my success rate at applying…”

“I have a notes page on my phone with headings for each Department, and as and when something comes up in the news or gets mentioned in Parliament that is of particular interest, I will make a note and come back to it later. Also, I work as a PPS across two Departments, so when a new document comes up, I will read throu…”

“I am well aware that the quantity of questions, even probably just those that I ask, places a strain on the system. I know that the Clerks have to put together the Order Papers and table all the written and oral questions that come in, and I appreciate that they work on a skeleton crew. I have had a number of meetings …”

“I do not use AI at all. I do not use AI in the formulation of questions. I have obviously tabled quite a lot of questions, and I have had a lot of rejections back as well, but I have now learned the language that the Table Office like to write questions in, to the extent that it is actually just quicker for me to write…”

“I am very lucky that I have a very good caseworker. I run quite a lean team; I have a chief of staff, a senior parliamentary assistant, a caseworker and a researcher, and I am also currently lucky enough to have an intern. I do all the written questions myself, and I also do all my own oral questions, so that is just n…”

“There is a lot of scrutiny on written questions at the moment because people are putting in very high numbers, and there are high numbers overall. I have found that they have been a gold mine, not only for the information that comes back from Ministers, but for the fact that you can get a response from a Minister in as…”

“I welcome the introduction of the strategic reserve in the Bill, but I would like clarity on how it will be paid for. Will it be via separate funding or will it come from the money already allocated to pay for the active reserve in the MOD budget?”

“I agree that it is a broader topic than simply covering Commonwealth veterans and their family members from those same Commonwealth countries. There are a number of personnel living here are UK personnel but have spouses and children who may be from overseas, and the same rules apply to them. I do not disagree with the…”

“The other day I had the opportunity to meet the Ministry of Defence Police and their chief constable at RAF Wyton in my constituency. I was impressed by the counter-drone capability that they are now equipped with; it is vastly in excess of what Home Office policing teams now have, and it is a simple solution to provid…”

“By now, the Secretary of State will be well aware of my opposition to the 1,900 acre East Park Energy solar farm in my constituency. We are now at the business end of the planning process; the application is before the Planning Inspectorate, ahead of a decision by the Secretary of State later this year. Will he outline…”
