Speeches by Walker.

“I beg to move, That the Committee has considered the draft United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 (Exclusions from Market Access Principles: Glue Traps) Regulations 2025. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stuart. These regulations were laid before the House on 1 December 2025. The instrument makes …”

“I thank the hon. Member for Epping Forest for his contribution, and acknowledge the work of the previous Government. I know from my experience in the animal welfare sector that compassion for animals crosses party lines, and it is a powerful reminder of what we can do when we work together. The hon. Gentleman asked abo…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Dowd. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Winchester (Dr Chambers) for securing this debate. I pay tribute to his work on global health as secretary to the all-party parliamentary group on antimicrobial resistance and as a member of the APPG on maternity. I am also…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate. Pornography is nothing new, but access to the kind of content she has described is something that previous generations did not have to deal with. The most responsible and vigilant parents are struggling to prevent access to it. Does she agree that we need…”

“The Supreme Court judgment provided very welcome legal clarity on the matter of biological sex, but the Scottish Government have met clarity with chaos. Does the Secretary of State agree with me that the SNP Government have made an absolute mess of this, in much the same way they have made a mess of passing on the bigg…”

“I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (Jo White) for initiating this important debate. My constituency contains both rural communities and towns with a proud industrial history. Members will be familiar with New Lanark, which is famous throughout the world as the place where Robert Owen championed be…”

“Q12. My constituents are struggling to gain access to the healthcare that they desperately need, and one in six Scots is on a waiting list. Meanwhile, in England, the waiting lists have been coming down for the last five months, and more than 2 million appointments have been made available. Does the Prime Minister agre…”

“As per my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, I am a member of GMB. My union membership has given me reassurance for many years that I have backing if I need it. I am conscious that although in this place we may be listened to when we speak up, for too many people insecurity and lack of respect at wo…”

“Thank you, Mr Turner; it is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. My constituency is a mix of countryside towns and villages, so many of our shops are small businesses at the heart of our communities. But the last few years have been very hard on them: covid, the bungled implementation of Brexit and the strippin…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that the record settlement given to Scotland by this Government should be spent by the Scottish Government on vital infrastructure such as schools and transport for constituencies such as mine, which feel sadly neglected after 18 years of SNP Government? No SNP Members are here for this debate…”

“I am going to finish soon, so I will make progress. When people have been let down so badly and for so long, they do not forget. They do not forget quickly—I understand that—but fixing this country is not a six-month job, and Conservative Members must be honest that it took them longer than that to get us into this mes…”

“I am going to make some more progress. I know the frustration that people feel after years of chaos and neglect by their Government—in the case of Scotland, by two Governments, as a matter of fact—but I would say to everyone who feels let down by 14 years of broken promises: what the last Government did, lurching from …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Harris. I have the privilege of speaking in this Chamber today because, six months ago, the country voted for change—the biggest change, in fact, that this Parliament has seen in generations. We know why people voted for change. It was because, for 14 years, the Co…”

“Hamilton is a brilliant place in which to live and work, but the boarded-up shops in Quarry Street tell a story of their own. What can this Government do to support businesses across Hamilton and Clyde Valley, and across Scotland, which have suffered so badly under the chaos and neglect of two Governments, Conservative…”

“4. What steps he is taking to support the regeneration of Scottish town centres.”

“It is an honour to speak for the first time as the MP for Hamilton and Clyde Valley. I am delighted to have the opportunity to declare that I am a proud member of GMB, which does so much for so many. My constituency has played an important part in the progress of employment rights, for reasons that I will come to short…”
