Speeches by Taylor.

“Yes. My question follows on from that, but is specifically about education. A lot of kids have, hopefully, been getting some education—Education Without Borders, for example, was doing its best to educate kids who have been in refugee camps for almost the entirety of their education—but there are all sorts of challenge…”

“indicated assent.”

“On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wish to clarify the record in response to the point of order raised by the hon. Member for North Herefordshire (Dr Chowns) on Monday, following the statement on Iran, in which she claimed that the reputation of the Green party deputy leader, Mothin Ali, had been “incorrectly…”

“It has been heartening to see the scenes of jubilation from Iranians, from Syrians and from British Iranians in this country at the death of the evil ayatollah. They hope that it will enable them ultimately to finally gain their freedom from this horrific regime. As the situation evolves, may I ask the Prime Minister t…”

“I welcome the Minister’s statement, in which he referred to post offices being multi-carrier parcel hubs. One such carrier is Evri, and I visited its depot in my constituency of Hemel Hempstead last week with the GMB London region rep Danni Egan. I met dedicated couriers who were doing vital and often undervalued work.…”

“The Minister noted the absence of Reform from this debate. I also note the absence of the Green party. Perhaps they are too busy spreading sectarian hate up in Gorton and Denton, or undermining NATO at every corner. Does he agree?”

“It is an honour to speak in this debate, and I associate myself with the remarks of everyone who has spoken in the Chamber so far, not least in making the point that there continues to be cross-party agreement for resolute support behind Ukraine, and there is still, I believe, resolute support for the Ukrainian people …”

“I wish to associate myself with the remarks that have been made by a number of Members, particularly those of my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool Walton (Dan Carden). I continue to advocate for ways in which the west can degrade the ability of the IRGC to kill protesters, such as targeted strikes on arms depots. I …”

“On behalf of the all-party parliamentary group on Japan, may I say arigato gozaimasu to the Prime Minister for his visit? I hope that he had a sugoi time. I think that all of us in the House are proud of the global combat air programme, which holds great opportunities not only for global, regional and UK security but f…”

“I hate to disagree with the right hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield (Sir Andrew Mitchell), who I respect greatly, but in an era when we have less money I wonder whether we should focus on reaching the poorest people the most. There are other models, including the International Finance Facility for Education and the Inte…”

“I completely agree with you that NGOs have massively dropped the ball on talking to the public about development. As somebody who worked and had these battles at the time, we thought that they thought we had won. We had got 0.7%, and that was it. We could move on. I was making the case very strongly that, no, we had to…”

“Development and education specifically.”

“I knew it was May, yes.”

“On the innovative finance side of it, is there anything more you can say on that point? It is okay if you cannot. I raised the question in the House at FCDO questions earlier, and I am very keen to see that the Treasury is working with you on this because we accept—or at least I do—the fiscal rules that the Chancellor …”

“I wanted to ask about plans for a conference this year, and whether you could elaborate on your current plans. My specific interest, which will not surprise you, is whether you are any further along in discussions around development finance and using it as an opportunity to leverage more money, working with the private…”

“The Trump Administration initially indicated that they would protect protesters when they came out, which they have done in droves, but, as many Members have indicated, thousands upon thousands of them have now been killed. We worry about outside interference, but if we listen to a lot of the protesters, they are actua…”

“I hope that if that money is unlocked, we look at ways to compensate for the money that is going into Ukraine by freeing up money that might be able to go to other conflicts around the world, where we have sadly made some reductions due to the cut to the aid budget.”

“I think we know who Putin’s friends are, and that is a matter of public record. I completely agree, and if I had had time during my question on the Iran statement yesterday, I would have spoken about the role that Iran is playing in Ukraine. Shahed drones, which all of us who have been to Ukraine have had to cower from…”

“I shall try to follow your advice, Madam Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by paying tribute to what Members have said already, and also to the fact that a number of Members in all parties have contributed in many different ways in trying to stand up for the Ukrainian people, not only in speeches in the House but through th…”

“It is telling that, in the past few weeks, we have heard absolutely nothing from Your Party, the Greens, the Socialist Campaign Group or the “stop some wars” coalition. Where have been the marches in solidarity with the Iranian people? You cannot claim to be a progressive and to care about social justice if you do not …”
