| 17 Mar 2026 | Youth Unemployment “The number of young people not in education, employment or training hitting 1 million follows a trajectory that has been ongoing for a long time and is a global phenomenon. I am delighted that the Secretary of State has today said that a Labour Government are determined to intervene and do something about it. How does …” economy-jobseducationcost-of-living | 90 |
| 16 Mar 2026 | Topical Questions “T2. Our history is as a naval power, and immediate threats to the UK include threats to undersea cables, the activities of illegal Russian shadow tankers and the closure of the strait of Hormuz. For the shipbuilding industry to thrive on our shores, it needs consistent contracts throughout the year to ensure that we ha…” defenceeconomy-jobsenergy | 74 |
| 10 Mar 2026 | Draft Higher Education (Fee Limits and Fee Limit Condition) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 “I want to make a short intervention, as we may divide on this instrument. Although the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats do not have a leg to stand on in this debate, I have to take issue with the idea that by simply increasing the fee structure, we put universities on a secure and stable footing. They rely on cross-…” educationeconomy-jobsfiscal-policy | 124 |
| 23 Feb 2026 | Topical Questions “Private market rents are most extortionate in working-class communities such as mine, where people can still buy a terraced house for around £70,000. So far, the Government have kept regulation linked to market rents, but we could do something different. We could do something that the Tories and Reform cannot do and th…” housinglocal-governmenteconomy-jobs | 89 |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1686) “Dr Solar, you are an expert in security across this region. Can you give us an idea of what the links were, perhaps in cash and oil, with regimes like Iran, Russia and others?” | 34 |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1686) “The UN Security Council is often described as being gridlocked because of the permanent members on it. In an ideal world, what would the Security Council be doing, if it was working together and seeking to deal with some of the problems in the world?” | 45 |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Civil Service Pension Scheme: Administration “I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate. We are told that a system of crisis payments has been put in place but I am still receiving correspondence from constituents, including this morning. They are terrified that they will not be able to pay their bills at the end of this month. My question is for the M…” social-careeconomy-jobscost-of-living | 83 |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1686) “It is a mockery of international law.” | 7 |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1686) “But obviously Russia was not following international law when it invaded Ukraine, so the fact that they gave a fig leaf to it is irrelevant, isn’t it?” | 27 |
| 4 Feb 2026 | Civil Service Pension Scheme: Administration “My hon. Friend is making a very good speech. Is it not important that this Labour Government show how they are different, and deal differently with those failed privatisations?” social-careeconomy-jobscost-of-living | 29 |

| 4 Feb 2026 | Foreign Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1686) “Dr Sabatini, you started to pick up on where the international community had failed to act on Venezuela. I am interested in that, because there is a lot of debate about the change to the international rules-based order and moving to a “might is right” situation. One of the reasons why criticisms of President Trump have…” | 115 |

| 3 Feb 2026 | Iran “This is an evil regime that is murdering and torturing tens of thousands of its own people. I am pleased that the Chamber is giving this matter regular attention. President Trump promised that help was on the way to the protesters. I want to add my voice to those asking that the British Government hear the calls of the…” defencecrimeimmigration | 76 |

| 26 Jan 2026 | Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill “I am sorry that I am the only Labour Back Bencher who wants to speak. I have huge respect for my hon. Friend, and I fear that I am not going to say anything he particularly likes. I have followed this matter as closely as possible, and I have gone along with the Government up to this point, but it has been against my i…” defencefiscal-policy | 126 |
