Speeches by Reed.

“Q Thank you, Mariette, for being with us today. Is it possible to go into the timeline of how we have got to this point? You talked about limited powers, and I completely agree with you. From your perspective, from raising those concerns with the MOD and Ministers, how have we got to this point where we are sitting her…”

“I thank Angela and Ted for being here today. The title of the role is changing from “ombudsman” to “commissioner”. We previously heard that different perceptions come with those different titles. Do you think that moving to “commissioner” is a good change? If not, where are the limitations? Angela Kitching: I think it …”

“The situation in the middle east is extremely volatile, and the situation that has played out in Syria over recent days only adds to that instability. Has the Foreign Secretary had conversations in recent days with Ministry of Defence colleagues about the potential need to reinforce and bolster security at our sovereig…”

“Q10. My constituents in Exmouth and Exeter East, and our neighbours across the south-west, are understandably concerned about the rail disruption and potential economic damage that the HS2 construction at Old Oak Common will cause to our region for at least the next seven years. Will the Prime Minister please commit to…”

“I thank the hon. Member for North Cornwall (Ben Maguire) for securing this important debate. Many of the points that have been raised this evening are issues we have all experienced, but I have found that South West Water’s communication and engagement with its customers has been atrocious over recent months. What more…”

“On which platforms is this propagating?”

“I am mindful of time, so building on David’s last question, what sort of principles and areas of focus should guide any future Sudan strategy? If you can give a few broad themes, with time in mind.”

“Lots has been mentioned already around what could be done in terms of a future Sudan strategy, but is there anything else that anyone wants to bring in?”

“On which platforms is this propagating?”

“Dr Eva, was that Sudanese citizens in the west, or western actors?”

“Fantastic. Thanks, Claire.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for raising that concern. That issue definitely needs to be drawn out during the later stages of the Bill to ensure that everyone across the armed forces community—regulars, reservists and veterans—is listened to by the commissioner. I think everyone in the House agrees that the Armed Forces Comm…”

“It is encouraging to see cross-party support for the Bill, and it is a real pleasure to be in the Chamber this evening with all four former Royal Marines who have come into Parliament in 2024. I welcome the Bill. We all share the same goal of improving the welfare and support of those who serve in our armed forces and …”

“T8. Could I ask for a progress update on the recruitment for a national armaments director, the creation of a military strategic headquarters, and the release of the defence industrial strategy, and crucially, will they all be in place and established in time to contribute to the recommendations of the strategic defenc…”

“Thank you for coming and speaking to us, and for having the strength to share your experiences. I know how difficult that must be. Going back to the point around targeting, was there a threat that the Israeli Defence Force was seeing? Was Hamas in the community? Could you see where it was?”
