| 13 Apr 2026 | SEND Provision and Reform “I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way and for bringing this really important debate to the Chamber. I recognise his passion for supporting young people with SEND, but I disagree with his views on the Government’s White Paper. I say that not because I am sitting on this side of the Chamber, but as a former teacher w…” educationsocial-carelocal-government | 136 |

| 25 Mar 2026 | Foreign Financial Influence and Interference: UK Politics “I thank the Secretary of State for making this important statement. Like the hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington (Bobby Dean), I am concerned about the ability of shell companies to make political donations. Clearly that is not transparent, and that is rightly recognised in the Rycroft review. What steps will the…” fiscal-policydefencetechnology | 70 |
| 25 Mar 2026 | Northern Ireland Troubles: Legacy and Reconciliation “What reassurance can the Secretary of State give me and my constituents that the health and wellbeing of veterans will be taken into account if they are required to give evidence to the commission or coroners?” defencecrimesocial-care | 36 |

Friend the Member for Bolsover (Natalie Fleet) for her work on the part of this Bill that ensures there are no parental rights for child sex offenders or those who conce…” crime | 92 |
| 24 Mar 2026 | Work and Pensions Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1683) “Thank you to the panellists for the evidence so far. Priya Edwards, in Save the Children’s written report to this inquiry, it recommended framing poverty reduction as a core outcome of family hubs. Could you describe what you envisage by this?” | 41 |
| 24 Mar 2026 | Work and Pensions Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1683) “Thank you, Dame Rachel, for coming in and for your evidence so far. It struck me when you spoke about young people talking about their aspirations, and wanting to be the next Prime Minister or to be a pilot or whatever it might be. In my constituency of Harlow I think you would probably get that at primary school, and …” | 131 |

| 24 Mar 2026 | Defence “I thank the hon. and gallant Gentleman for what I perceive to be a very constructive speech in which he is generally trying to support the Minister. I promise I will not mention Cheltenham markets to him. He talks about our power. I recently visited Estonia with the Education Committee. Does he agree that part of our p…” defencefiscal-policyeconomy-jobs | 106 |

| 23 Mar 2026 | National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill “I like to think I represent my constituents as well as the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) does his, if anyone could. My constituents are really concerned about the pension gap, because the reality for many of them is that they do not earn enough money to begin to think about saving for a pension. Those are ac…” fiscal-policylabour-marketsocial-care | 106 |
| 23 Mar 2026 | Hatzola Ambulance Attack “I join the Minister in condemning the abhorrent attacks we saw in Golders Green this morning. I pay tribute to Rabbi Irit Shillor and the work that she does to support not only Harlow’s Jewish community but the wider community of Harlow. The Jewish community will rightly be concerned after this morning’s events, so wha…” crimeculture-communitydefence | 80 |
| 23 Mar 2026 | Rail Connections to London: Rural Towns “My hon. Friend is being really generous in taking interventions. Every time I have seen an opportunity to make my point, someone else has jumped in. I thank her for giving me the opportunity to talk about Roydon in my constituency, which does have a train line. One of my concerns with Roydon is that the train is often …” transporteconomy-jobslocal-government | 144 |
| 23 Mar 2026 | Middle East “I know that the people of Harlow will want me to echo the Secretary of State’s comments about our brave personnel and the work that they do to keep us safe every single day. Listening to his statement, it struck me that it is hugely important that our bases here and abroad are safe. Can he outline what he is doing to e…” defenceenergyeconomy-jobs | 89 |
| 23 Mar 2026 | Tobacco and Vapes Bill “Although I disagree with much of what the hon. Gentleman is saying, I recognise the passion with which he speaks. Does he recognise that one issue with vape products is that a number of people who smoke vapes have not previously smoked cigarettes? That is a concern. Vapes are not just an alternative to smoking and a me…” healthlocal-governmenteconomy-jobs | 91 |
| 16 Mar 2026 | Grenfell Tower Memorial (Expenditure) Bill “I thank the Secretary of State for opening this debate and for his commitment to remember the 72 victims of this terrible tragedy and their families. I also thank my hon.

| 16 Mar 2026 | GP Contract “I thank the Minister for his answers so far. One of the No. 1 issues that came up on the doorstep when I was canvassing across my constituency before the general election was same-day access to GPs. Although I recognise that there is still work to be done, I welcome the work the Labour Government and the Minister have …” healtheconomy-jobs | 112 |
| 16 Mar 2026 | Lord Mandelson: Response to Humble Address “I thank the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister for his answers so far. Will he outline that this Government will do everything they possibly can to support the police investigation? Does he agree that whether we are Members of this place or the other place, or former princes, it is hugely important for public trust …” mp-performancefiscal-policycrime | 71 |
| 16 Mar 2026 | Strait of Hormuz “I thank the Minister for his detailed responses on an issue that we are all, across the House, keen to get resolved. On the issue of British nationals returning to the UK—I am pleased to say that those I made representations about to the Prime Minister a couple of weeks ago have been safely returned to my constituency—…” defenceenergycost-of-living | 96 |
