Speeches by Chadwick.

“Q We have heard concerns about definitions, particularly regarding incident reporting. What are your observations on the Bill as it stands, and those definitions? Richard Starnes: Throughout my career, I have been involved in cyber incidents from just about day one. One of the biggest problems that you run into in the …”

“Britain faces a once-in-a-generation threat to our national security, as Putin’s war continues in Europe and uncertainty grows about the future reliability of the United States. Will the Secretary of State therefore take up the Liberal Democrats’ proposal that we issue time-limited defence bonds? That would allow the p…”

“10. If he will make an assessment of the potential merits of holding cross-party talks on reaching 3% defence spending by 2030.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Western. For obvious reasons, we often hear in this House about failure, notably in the tragic case raised by my hon. Friend the Member for Woking (Mr Forster)—I congratulate him on securing this important debate—but I will focus on a local authority that has been a…”

“Access to Work is meant to help disabled people to stay in employment, yet numerous constituents tell me they have been waiting more than nine months for an assessment, and a year or more for changes of circumstances. Those delays are putting jobs and incomes at risk. How many people has the Department assessed as losi…”

“This question is for Grant. Jac Morgan, Adam Jones, Justin Tipuric, Dan Edwards, Bleddyn Bowen, Robert Jones, Rhodri Thomas, Arwel Thomas, Andy Lloyd—I am sure you have worked it out. They have one thing in common: they all come from the Swansea valley. If Ospreys were to disappear from Welsh rugby, what would be the i…”

“If there is no club there, clearly nobody will be going to watch rugby there, so how will you ensure that enthusiasm for rugby does not wither in those areas without a direct connection to a professional club?”

“Do you expect match-going fans to switch allegiances to a new side?”

“What do you anticipate will be the impact on the popularity of rugby in the region that eventually loses a professional side? We have heard a bit about the potential impact on the Ospreys’ proposed move to St Helen’s. Could you factor that into your responses? As I said earlier, the Ospreys are the most successful team…”

“The Secretary of State has been highly critical of the legitimate concerns that my constituents have raised about the numerous wind farm proposals across mid-Wales. Now the Ministry of Defence has raised its concerns that at least one of the proposed wind farms has the potential to form a physical obstruction to air tr…”

“Richard, do you have anything to add?”

“Thank you, Chair. We were talking about the formal tendering process to decide the three professional teams, and when there will be an outcome.”

“Did you consult with the clubs, or was the consultation with other people?”

“First, may I say thank you to you, Chair, for arranging this session? It is very timely and I hope we can keep going with it. I want to come back to the question about the hub officers, because that has come up a lot in the conversations I have had with clubs, including Trebanos, Ystalyfera, Ystradgynlais and Brecon. Y…”

“Iwan, one of the topics raised earlier was the impact of the cut to the number of hub officers. There was discussion about whether or not there was a consultation on that. A consequence of the cut in the number of hub officers working in schools is that for South Powys and Merthyr one hub officer is trying to cover nea…”

“Thank you very much. The Ospreys are the most successful regional side in Welsh rugby, rooted in Swansea and the surrounding communities, including many of the communities in my own constituency. How will the formal tendering process to decide the three professional teams operate, and when will there be an outcome?”

“Over the past year, I have spoken to hundreds of children in schools across my constituency as part of my safer screens tour. It has been very distressing to hear from them about the material that they have been exposed to, and to hear that social media companies have not come back to them when they have reported this …”

“To say the very least, Donald Trump’s actions in Greenland and the related sanctions on the UK are not befitting of a trustworthy ally. Does the Foreign Secretary now accept that President Trump does not respond to weakness, and that, as Canada has shown, we must stand firm against this bullying behaviour and, as the L…”

“The economic impact of this issue is being felt across the United Kingdom, and that is because there is still no settled SPS agreement. That has resulted in uncertainty, and uncertainty is poison for trade. Many smaller producers have already been cut out of EU markets, unable to cope with the administrative burden and…”

“I agree with my right hon. Friend. The Government would do well to listen to his wisdom and knowledge, and indeed to that of the farmers, because they are the people experiencing these problems at first hand.”
