Speeches by Daby.

“Minister, in your opening remarks you stated that stabilising Syria is in the Syrian interest as well as in the British interest, and I absolutely agree. In achieving that, in your view, would UK aid and assistance be delivered more effectively if the UK Government were to re-establish a permanent UK presence in Syria?…”

“Is it a challenge to get the information to these families or to people returning to make them aware of the dangers?”

“Do you have any timescales in mind for this?”

“Dr Ahmed, the Deputy Minister for Emergency and Disaster Management, said there are 1,555 camps in Syria, and the UN estimates that around 7.4 million people are internally displaced, with 3.7 million Syrian refugees remaining in neighbouring countries. Could you give me some information on what the impact is of the pr…”

“Are you able to talk to those funders about what more could be achieved with that oversight and strategic approach?”

“Andrew, you said the funding has not allowed you to act strategically, and you mentioned the six months’ or year’s funding. What funding would enable you to act to work strategically, and what would “strategic” look like?”

“Finally, could you say why you think UK aid and assistance would be better delivered or potentially functioning with an embassy in place? What do you think the benefits of that would be?”

“Do you have any timescales in mind for this?”

“The Secretary of State is correct in everything he has said so far about the memorial. Is he willing to meet me? He has spoken about safety, and many of my residents are concerned about their safety with unsafe cladding. They are also worried about the cost of that. Will he or one of his Ministers meet me to discuss th…”

“Peter Mandelson’s behaviour was disgraceful, and his continued relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is difficult to comprehend. It is an insult to the victims and survivors of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Clearly, the Government are putting in place standards and tightening their appointments and vetting process, but could …”

Lewisham council is doing an excellent job—a fantastic job, even—in doing all it can to manage this, but would the Leader of the House agre…”
