30 Jun 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 206)

Minister, we have just come back from a delegation visit to Indonesia, where we saw many interesting projects. Given that the bilateral ODA in Indonesia and other G20 countries is coming to an end, how do the Government plan to sustain their engagement on climate, nature and the energy environment in a post-ODA world?

Turning to the strategic partnership agreement agreed with Indonesia in January, what are the implications for that partnership agreement, given the G20 decision?

30 Jun 2026Defence Investment Plan

As the UK trade envoy to Japan, I strongly welcome the £8.6 billion for the GCAP and Tempest project. Does the Secretary of State agree that this is a clear vote of confidence that will enable project partners in our country, Japan and Italy to make strong headway with that project at last?

22 Jun 2026UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence

I will not, unless the hon. Member wants to apologise for some of his remarks. Where do we even begin with some of the things that we have heard in the Chamber in recent years? In relation to the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, one Member referred to a stunt by an MP representing the Zionist lobby. Another MP referred to

22 Jun 2026UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence

I will begin, as many have, by associating myself with the remarks of the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (John Lamont). In the interests of time, I will skip over the many things on which I agreed with him and talk about some of our role as leaders. What I am about to say is not meant as a partisan

11 Jun 2026Legacy of Jo Cox

I want to put on record my appreciation for the incredible work that Jo did for the people of Syria, and for the incredible work that the Minister and the right hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield (Sir Andrew Mitchell) did after she was murdered. They took forward that cause at a moment when they were both experiencing th

From a gender perspective, how is the climate crisis affecting you and your colleagues as women producers? How is it affecting women differently?

It is a privilege to speak to you both, particularly you, Silvia. I used to work at Fairtrade directly before I was elected, so I have many experiences of working brilliantly with CLAC, including on climate change. I remember well that a number of your colleagues came over for the Glasgow climate talks when the UK host

20 May 2026Defence Readiness

It is a pleasure to follow the right hon. Member for Wetherby and Easingwold (Sir Alec Shelbrooke), who I know is a vocal champion of tackling antisemitism, which I will focus on in my remarks. In Tower Hamlets last week, a young man was filmed saying the most chilling antisemitic words: “The Jews, you’re going to be b

28 Apr 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1225)

There is a big debate in development about continuing to support middle-income countries. Tough choices have been made about spending. In that context, how comfortable are you with the continued funding for humanitarian work in Nigeria? What efforts can be made to encourage the Nigerian Government to fund its own human

I want to turn to climate change. How are you mitigating the potential impacts of climate change across Nigeria, particularly given that rising temperatures might mean that you are not able to operate in certain places? How are you ensuring that the investments that you have made are climate-proof and that the people y

I want to ask about the humanitarian situation in the eastern part of the country. Shuna, I would love to hear your thoughts.

21 Apr 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1828)

Thanks for bringing up the funding cuts issue; another colleague of mine will ask about that. I want to check something specific: are there any access or safety issues in terms of your colleagues getting the aid to where it needs to be? I did not hear that in your answer. If it is not a problem, it is okay. We just wan
