Speeches by Stewart.

“You will be pleased to know that this is the last question for you today. What issues would a full legal framework need to resolve to provide a sustainable footing for the facility?”

“My question was answered at the beginning; it was on unrelated incidents in the Thistle and how we would deal with them. As that has been answered, let me ask this: do you see the police officers building relationships within the community, with the staff within the facility, and with the users? Can they identify good …”

“Q11. Last month’s data showed that NHS waiting lists in Wales fell for three months in a row. In England, the waiting lists have fallen for six months in a row. In Scotland, after nearly 20 years in charge, the SNP Government have left our NHS on its knees. Instead, remarkable acts of charity from rock legend Rod Stewa…”

“On VE Day, Captain Harry Richardson of the RAF, from Ochiltree in Ayrshire, was half a world away. VE Day did not mean the end of all conflict. The war with Japan continued, and despite extensive service in Europe, Captain Richardson was still on active duty in India as a bomber pilot. While the country celebrated, Cap…”

“17. What steps he is taking to strengthen co-operation with the devolved Governments.”

“Does the Minister agree that this Labour Government’s plan for change has helped to deliver 1,500 more GPs to help stop the 8 am rush and that the Scottish Government should work with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to look at how the SNP-run health service in Scotland could learn from such action?”

“My constituents John and Evelyn Preston contributed to Digital’s pension scheme before 1997. They expected discretionary increases to counter inflation, but since Hewlett-Packard took over in 2002, their pensions have stagnated—in some cases, people have experienced 60% losses. Thanks to the Pre-97 Alliance, we know th…”

“Malcolm, to back pedal a wee bit to skills, are you worried that we do not have the skills pipeline going forward? How should we be developing that? Should that be through the industrial strategy?”

“What are the advantages of the Government acting as a customer to support the creation and delivery of the new launch services?”

“That would help with the long-term sustainability.”

“Skyrora has told us that it has experienced delays in obtaining a launch operator licence from the CAA. Can you explain the main reasons why air launch companies are experiencing these delays and what steps you are taking to expedite this?”

“I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests; I was a manager at the CRT. Every week, I see at first hand the positive impact that the CRT has had in our communities. It has been instrumental in developing after-school care and breakfast clubs in Drongan, one of the most deprived areas in…”

“On the back of that, how confident are you that the new Grangemouth investment team will attract sufficient private investment?”

“Mr Bhambi, is the Government’s promise of £200 million a sufficient level of public investment to drive through the projects identified by Project Willow?”

“On the back of that, how do you respond to concerns that bureaucratic inactivity will deter private investment? I suppose that is about the policy stuff.”

“That comes on to my next question. What are the consequences if the £200 million wealth fund did not materialise? What would the consequences be?”

“I thank the Minister for explaining why this motion is so important, and how it will unblock the system and unlock potential. The move to cleaner home-grown energy demands nationwide delivery of our critical infrastructure, yet the current planning system is holding that back. Without home-grown energy we will not have…”

“As part of the East Ayrshire Youth Awards, pupils in Bellsbank primary school in my constituency won the intergenerational champion award. Ellie, Sienna and Lacie recently joined the Bellsbank Project sewing group and made fouter blankets. They donated these to elderly residents suffering from dementia in a local nursi…”

“On the back of that, what are you doing to meet your commitments set out in the North sea transition deal?”

“Neil, I think that you have answered this question but I will ask it anyway. What more can the UK Government do to encourage greater domestic supply chain investment?”
