Speeches by Morello.

“I appreciate the clarification. I look forward to reading that.”

“Regardless of the weighting of the £250 million year 1 cost—”

“It is £165 million, plus £40 million, plus £45 million, so that makes £250 million.”

“I understand, but all I am doing is adding the three amounts of money that we are going to give them and coming to £250 million, so we are giving Mauritius £250 million in year 1. I appreciate that you do not know yet what the weighting of the split will be between the MOD and the FCDO, but my question is: does next ye…”

“I understand the value; I am just trying to understand the bottom line of the impact on FCDO spending over the next year or three months, because we will undoubtedly scrutinise the FCDO budgets as well as part of our remit.”

“The Foreign Secretary has confirmed that Britain was not involved in the strikes on Iran. Will he also confirm whether the US Administration sought permission to use Diego Garcia as the launch point for the strikes? If permission was sought and denied, on what basis did the Prime Minister deny permission? If it was not…”

“I did not plan on intervening, but we had a hustings during the election, and one of the questions was about the upcoming Sherborne Pride. Unfortunately, I was amazed that even in this day and age there was not unanimous support for a Sherborne Pride. My first act as an MP was to go to the inaugural Sherborne Pride, an…”

“T4. Some 40% of people in West Dorset who are in receipt of a personal independence payment receive the highest level of support. Many are extremely anxious about PIP assessments being carried out over the phone rather than in person, particularly those with complex or fluctuating conditions. Will the Minister guarante…”

“I rise to speak to new clause 156 in my name, which I bring forward because of Isabella, a 14-year-old girl who lives in my constituency. In May of this year, Isabella was hanging out with friends in Lyme Regis when she was lured to the cemetery. A group of young people were waiting. One of them had their phone out and…”

“I agree with the hon. Gentleman; we do not fully understand the lasting psychological damage, especially as this is a growing problem. I have received further letters from other people, who have told me about similar incidents in other schools, other towns and other playgrounds. Nationally, the problem is rising. Accor…”

“The reality on the ground dictates that, in the current situation— Seyed Ali Mousavi: The reality on the ground is the IAEA inspector. The IAEA has a very different interaction with us.”

“The price of a ceasefire is going to be giving up your nuclear enrichment. That is the obvious situation on the ground right now. If you have no nuclear ambitions, why will Iran simply not commit to ceasing enrichment, handing over what has been enriched and going back to 3.6% for civilian use? That would be the price …”

“I do. I would take a slightly different view to what you have just outlined, Ambassador. Members of the IRGC providing military training to Iranian proxies have been assassinated in Lebanon and Iraq. I am not sure that the idea that Iran is not providing material support to countries that are attacking Israel is backed…”

“I am sorry, Ambassador, but we have— Seyed Ali Mousavi: This is very important. These are innocent people and civilians. I am the representative of these people in this country.”

“But you are providing arms to them. You are providing arms and funding to ideological groups that share your view, and they are delivering the outcome that Iran wishes. Seyed Ali Mousavi: We had the very important Islamic revolution, which is a source of inspiration to all people in our region. The Islamic revolution i…”

“I want to understand what Iran’s plans are if it is not to come to the negotiating table. Does Iran plan to escalate the conflict by closing the strait of Hormuz, or is Iran willing to rule that out completely? As a country that is heavily reliant on the free movement of goods around the globe, we have a vested interes…”

“I am simply pointing out that there is evidence that counters your argument that Iran is not providing any material military aid, but we are getting sidetracked.”

“I just wanted to follow up on Alex’s point, Ambassador. There is a realpolitik element to this. Iran wants there to be a ceasefire before there is a negotiation. The position of Israel and the United States is that Iran needs to give up its enrichment programme and return, at the very least, to a civilian level. Given …”

“I absolutely agree. The costs for disabled people who live in rural areas include more expensive journeys to access healthcare, unreliable and sparse public transport, and higher energy bills for heating homes that are often older and less efficient. Hundreds of my constituents have expressed their concerns to me over …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. I congratulate the hon. Member for Poole (Neil Duncan-Jordan), my colleague from Dorset, on securing this important debate. I will attempt to edit my speech as I go along to buy back some time. Ensuring fairness starts with recognising those who need support t…”
