24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

I thank Members who have contributed to this very important and significant debate today, and I thank the Minister for his response. As we have heard, the situation in Gaza is devastating. While the ceasefire offers some hope, and it must hold, it is important that we recognise that this cannot be the final step. Much

24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

I thank my right hon. Friend for that intervention; I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response in relation to these points. As the Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs notes, “UNRWA continues to be banned by Israeli authorities from bringing in food and other supplies into Gaza.” That further com

24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

I agree with my hon. Friend. Importantly, the United Nations update noted: “Many international NGO partners continue to face difficulties in being registered in Israel, preventing them from bringing supplies into Gaza and operating at scale, and UNRWA continues to be banned by Israeli authorities from bringing in food

24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

I fully agree with that point. The director general of the World Health Organisation stated: “There are no fully-functioning hospitals in Gaza, and only 14 out of 36 are functioning at all.” He also said: “If you take the famine and combine it with a mental health problem, which we see is rampant, then the situation is

24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

Some of what my hon. Friend has raised will be said later in this debate. As I said previously, it will be important to hear the Minister’s response to today’s debate. Humanitarian aid reaching Gaza has been intermittent, starting and stopping repeatedly. Since the ceasefire, only a fraction of promised aid has actuall

24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

I thank the hon. Member for raising that important issue, and I fully agree with him. It is important to remember that this situation is fast moving and can change from day to day. The humanitarian aid reaching Gaza has been intermittent and has started and stopped repeatedly. It is vital to note that, since the ceasef

24 Nov 2025Gaza: Humanitarian Obligations

I thank my hon. Friend for highlighting those important facts, and I agree with the points she raises. I was contacted by a constituent on Friday who said: “We are still not seeing enough food, medicine, tents or machinery required to clear roads, excavate bombed buildings to recover the dead, restore water and electri

I beg to move, That this House has considered e-petition 700682 relating to humanitarian obligations and Gaza. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms McVey. The petition was started in January 2025 and is titled “Urgently fulfil humanitarian obligations to Gaza”. It reads: “Act to ensure delivery of fuel, f

5 Nov 2025Violence against Women and Girls

As a former chair of North Ayrshire Women’s Aid, I was concerned to read reports that sexual assault and harassment of women and girls on trains has risen by more than a third over the past 10 years. That adds up to 2,661 incidents reported across England, Scotland and Wales last year, with one in 10 of them affecting

28 Oct 2025 World Stroke Day

Currently, no Scottish hospital offers 24/7 emergency thrombectomy. For example, there is no night-time provision of mechanical thrombectomy, and in Glasgow emergency thrombectomy is available only Monday to Friday. There are severe gaps in the system. Does my hon. Friend agree that that is just not good enough?

12 Oct 2025Bovine Tuberculosis Control and Badger Culling

I thank all Members and the Minister for their contributions to what has been an interesting debate on a very important issue. We have heard about the importance of biosecurity, testing regimes and finding an effective vaccine, about the effect on farmers financially and emotionally, and about differing scientific view

12 Oct 2025Bovine Tuberculosis Control and Badger Culling

I fully agree with my hon. Friend. It is time to catch up with countries with lower rates of bovine TB and to focus on similar biosecurity measures rather than cruel culls that kill hundreds of thousands of badgers as well as hundreds of thousands of cows. We know from the bovine TB rates in England that our current st

12 Oct 2025Bovine Tuberculosis Control and Badger Culling

I note the hon. Gentleman’s comments. I still disagree with what the hon. Lady said. Bovine TB in cattle can be controlled by cattle measures alone, as predicted by the independent scientific group in 2007. Many are of the view that badgers are not the primary cause of the spread of bovine TB and that culling them is a

I thank the hon. Lady for her intervention but I have to say that I disagree. The evidence is there for the badger cull to end immediately.

I declare an interest: earlier this week, I hosted the “Ban Hatch and Dispatch” event in Parliament with the Vegetarian Society, as well as hosting a drop-in event the previous week. It was important to hear presentations from industry experts about the innovative and effective in-ovo testing laboratories in Europe, wh
