30 Jun 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 206)

Is that dependent on the individuals that you described?

30 Jun 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 206)

But if you look at ICAI’s report, it persistently highlights a blurring of responsibilities and an element of siloing. Do you recognise that as an issue? If so, what is being done to make sure that it is addressed? We are talking about splitting responsibilities in multiple directions here.

If ICAI looked at this now, 18 months since you have been in post, do you think that it would have a different impression?

You mentioned earlier, Minister, that the four Departments are working on climate finance. From your description, one would assume that everything is top dollar.

If I said, “I am world leading in my job, in what I do, because”—what is the next part of that sentence? What would you point to? What is the UK is world leading in for the future?

30 Jun 2026International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 206)

May I come back on ICF4? Minister, you described quite rightly that we have a lot of staff who want the UK to be world leading and to be seen as world leading on nature and forest commitments. In your view, without those kinds of headline metrics that we are pushing towards and meeting, how could our staff define thems

24 Jun 2026Nottingham Maternity and Neonatal Services

I put on record my thanks and respect for the resolute campaigning of the Nottingham survivors, especially my constituents, Jack and Sarah Hawkins, who have worked so hard to bring these issues to regional and then national attention. They have made sure that baby Harriet’s death was not in vain. I also pay tribute to

24 Jun 2026 Farming: Financial Sustainability

The Minister may well know that it was only a few years ago that the UK met 40% of its own nitrogen and fertiliser needs. Would he commit to working with the Minister for Industry to look at how we can get our domestic production to grow once again, given that under the Conservative party it disappeared altogether?

22 Jun 2026 Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Newborn Screening Test

A couple of my constituents with direct experience of SMA got in touch with me. The thing that they identified as being most difficult about the current arrangements with the in-service evaluation is the lack of detail about how long it will take. Does the hon. Lady agree that if the Minister could provide a level of c

G7 Summit

I thank the Deputy Prime Minister for his update on a range of issues from the G7 summit. Could he set out how the Government’s work to de-escalate things in the middle east will help families in Britain and my constituency, specifically when it comes to protecting shipping routes, reducing energy pressures and keeping

22 Jun 2026Pathways Study: Puberty Suppression

I welcome confirmation that the Pathways clinical trial will continue with the modified protocols in place; it was an important manifesto commitment for the trans community. Does the Secretary of State agree that it might help to reduce the risk in the long term of vulnerable young people seeking to access drugs online

22 Jun 2026East Midland Railway Collision

On behalf of my constituents in Rushcliffe in Nottinghamshire, I express my condolences to the family of the deceased driver and to all those involved, and give my thanks to the emergency services. This was particularly poignant, as my officer manager’s 12-year-old nephew, Arthur, was in one of the middle carriages. He

3 Jun 2026Improving the UK Visa System

The hon. Gentleman and I have discussed these issues about Hongkongers and Ukrainians before. We often talk about the Boris wave and the large numbers of immigrants who came to this country. But within those numbers, there were a good half a million people who we wanted to come to this country—who we invited—including

3 Jun 2026Lebanon: Israel Defence Forces Operations

On 2 March, I asked the Prime Minister what steps the UK was taking to prepare for targeted stabilisation and humanitarian efforts in Lebanon and Yemen if the Iranian regime changed. While we are all in support of the dismantling of Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, of course, has not changed, but the Israeli Government h

2 Jun 2026Community Pharmacies

I have been fortunate to have a pathfinder within the independent prescribing programme in my constituency. Its data shows that only 5% of patients who use the independent prescribing pathway need to be referred to their GP, so it is exactly as she says: there are huge savings to be made. I must push the Minister, beca

Do you have anything to add on the role that multilateral climate funds can play in mobilising that private finance?

Do you think that the FCDO has prioritised these multilateral channels sufficiently when it comes to private finance for climate initiatives?

To take you back about 15 minutes, Dharshan, you talked about today’s flows being insufficient for us to meet the Paris agreement. I just wanted an articulation of how big you saw the gap being, how insufficient those flows are and what would need to happen to get to the point where we might be on track with that.
