| 13 Nov 2025 | Business of the House “Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People, a charity based in my constituency with nationwide partners, has been active for over 90 years. It has gone into administration and is now on day three of a 28-day wind down, causing severe disruption to the 20,000 disabled people a year it supports. One family member t…” defencelocal-governmenteconomy-jobs | 174 |
| 11 Nov 2025 | Points of Order “On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have previously inadvertently stated that the Government had pledged £1.2 million towards the strategic health alliance and UK-Ukraine trauma recovery. [Official Report, 15 October 2025; Vol. 773, c. 404.] In fact, that sum has not yet been pledged; it is the amount that is …” mp-performancetechnologyculture-community | 95 |
| 11 Nov 2025 | Remembrance Day: Armed Forces “Yes, I agree that injured personnel require support. While casevacing casualties from the frontline, Eddy’s vehicle was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and he lost his left arm and leg. The UK and Ukraine are working to establish a strategic health alliance, but that initiative needs £1.2 million and Government suppo…” defenceculture-community | 204 |
| 11 Nov 2025 | Remembrance Day: Armed Forces “Today we remember the courage, sacrifice and unwavering duty of those who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces. As a veteran myself, it is an honour to represent Epsom and Ewell, a constituency with a rich connection to the military, where over 8,000 soldiers trained during the first world war. Our loc…” defenceculture-community | 438 |
| 3 Nov 2025 | Topical Questions “People’s experiences of medical discharge from the armed forces vary significantly, and too often it fails those who need the support most. What steps is the Minister taking to improve the discharge process, including improving consistency across units?” defenceeconomy-jobshousing | 38 |
| 30 Oct 2025 | Ageing and End-of-life Care “I congratulate the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) on securing this important debate. It is well known that our population is ageing, with the latest census showing that people aged 65 and over account for 19.1% of the total population in Surrey. That figure is predicted to increase to 25% by 2047. In my const…” healthsocial-care | 743 |
| 30 Oct 2025 | Property Service Charges “I just want to add one more case study to the plethora that have already been provided today. I have a resident who has a one-bed flat who saw their charges rise by thousands of pounds in just a few years. That financial burden also makes it even harder to sell their property. Simply too many rogue developers and estat…” housinglocal-governmentcost-of-living | 113 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | World Stroke Day “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Vaz. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Twickenham (Munira Wilson) for securing this important and timely debate and for her personal and emotive speech. I send her mum my best wishes. I thank all other Members for their speeches and for their personal stories. Over…” healthsocial-care | 710 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Support for Disabled Veterans “I thank the hon. and gallant Minister for giving way and I congratulate her on her position. I recently met representatives of the charity Combat Stress, which is based in my constituency. I was made aware that PTSD can come up to five, 10 or 15 years after deployment, which I did not know. At the moment, there is no o…” defencesocial-carehealth | 118 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Support for Disabled Veterans “It is great that my hon. Friend has secured this debate. Nearly half of UK veterans report being disabled. That figure is far higher than it is for the general population. Many of our disabled veterans receive military compensation, as my hon. Friend said, to support them with an injury or illness caused by service. Do…” defencesocial-carehealth | 85 |
| 27 Oct 2025 | Regulation and Inspection of Funeral Services “The hon. Member sheds a light on an area that I have only just come to, and that was through a piece of casework. It was absolutely devastating to receive a piece of casework about abysmal funeral services, which included the mis-selling of a plot in a local cemetery, extortionate funeral costs and countless issues wit…” social-carelocal-governmenthealth | 90 |
| 14 Oct 2025 | Ukraine “I have just returned from Ukraine, where I learned at first hand about the challenges that both the military and the emergency services face in dealing with unexploded ordnance; I saw its impact when I visited the heroic patients at Superhumans, the prosthetic supercentre in Lviv. There are over 60,000 amputees in Ukra…” defenceenergyfiscal-policy | 99 |
| 14 Sept 2025 | Children with SEND: Assessments and Support “Four-year-old Maeve lives in my constituency and has cerebral palsy. She requires constant care, is unable to walk, has limited speech and has multiple ongoing medical conditions that require attention. Despite that, and despite the fact that her parents applied to Surrey county council almost a year ago, the council h…” educationsocial-carelocal-government | 101 |
| 10 Sept 2025 | UK Ambassador to the US: Appointment Process “Our thoughts are with the friends and families of the victims of 9/11. I also express my regret and sadness at the murder of Charlie Kirk, and I hope that the hon. Member for Washington and Gateshead South (Mrs Hodgson) and her staff are all okay following the incident at her office. Political violence should have abso…” mp-performancedefence | 238 |
| 9 Sept 2025 | Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords] “The E5 bus service for Langley Vale in my constituency has a woefully inadequate timetable and a route that does not stop at the local hospital. Local bus routes are simply not servicing my residents. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Bill must tackle poor services and restore the £2 fare cap, reversing the devastatin…” transportenvironmentlocal-government | 64 |
| 9 Sept 2025 | Russian Drones: Violation of Polish Airspace “Overnight, Poland faced down an unprecedented violation of NATO and Polish airspace—the latest act of belligerence by a Russian dictator hell-bent on recreating the Russian empire. This is a stark reminder that history cannot repeat itself. The drones were part of Russia’s latest large-scale assault on Ukraine, an assa…” defenceeconomy-jobs | 197 |
| 9 Sept 2025 | Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords] “North East Surrey College of Technology in my constituency is not accessible by bus, leaving students having to travel even further for their education because local bus services are simply not serving young people. Does the hon. Member agree that the Bill must expand the definition of socially necessary local services…” transportenvironmentlocal-government | 57 |
| 7 Sept 2025 | Topical Questions “It is clear that Vladimir Putin remains hellbent on the conquest of Ukraine, while he drags Trump along with false promises of peace. It is right of the Government to have taken steps such as putting in place the recent price cap cut, to hurt Putin’s oil profits, but the Government must go further. Analysis by the Cent…” defenceeconomy-jobslabour-market | 110 |
| 7 Sept 2025 | Renters’ Rights Bill “Does my hon. Friend agree that if the Ministry of Defence itself says that the MOD housing standard is already higher than the decent homes standard, the Government should do the decent thing and accept Lords amendment 39 and put it on the face of the Bill?” housingcost-of-livinglocal-government | 47 |
| 7 Sept 2025 | Defence Industrial Strategy “I thank the Minister for advance sight of the defence industrial statement. I welcome the announcement today of the new defence industrial strategy because for too many years, the Conservatives chose to ignore the challenges across our defence industrial base. In light of the threats that we face from an imperial Putin…” defenceeconomy-jobs | 385 |
