Speeches by Mundell.

“We are trying, I can assure you of that, which is why we are having this session today.”

“Is there anything more that the UK could be doing to support these other countries neighbouring Sudan?”

“Claire, I think you were about to touch on what effects this crisis is having on the region and indeed globally.”

“With World Aids Day approaching, I am sure the whole House will agree on the impact that the Global Fund has had on tackling HIV and AIDS globally. With our replenishment coming next year, will Ministers commit to the UK continuing to make a significant contribution to the Global Fund?”

“Obviously, President Lula’s Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty is to be welcomed, but such initiatives become mere platitudes if they are not backed up by action and resources. In practical terms, what is the UK’s commitment to this initiative?”

“The right hon.

Will she bring forward a debate in Government time that allows us to discuss the obstacles to p…”

I am co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on HIV and AIDS, which is one of the largest and longest-standing APPGs in Parliament. We are seeking a debate to co…”

“Is that a 30-minute debate or—”

“Okay.”

“Are you able to tell us which colleague has secured the debate?”

“He is a prominent supporter of the APPG.”

“Yes. Okay, thank you very much.”

“Did the Prime Minister raise Ukraine during his meeting with President Xi given China’s undoubted influence over Russia and North Korea?”

“Farming and agricultural businesses employ thousands of people in my constituency, and they make a huge contribution to the local economy. Can the Minister set out exactly how yesterday’s Budget will help them to develop and grow?”

“My constituents Colin and Mandy Mackie’s 18-year-old son, Greg, died after having his soft drink spiked shortly after he went to college. They welcome the fact that this Government will continue with the legislation proposed by the previous Government. Can the Prime Minister assure them and other campaigners that Minis…”
