| 30 Jun 2025 | ADHD: Impact on Prison Rehabilitation and Reoffending “I commend the hon. Lady for securing this debate, and she is right to raise this issue, which is very prevalent in Northern Ireland. There is a lack of specialist staff and training in adult ADHD, which is becoming a bigger part of the conversation. More needs to be done to rehabilitate in a certain way to ensure that …” crimehealtheducation | 100 |
| 29 Jun 2025 | Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Bill “First, I commend the Minister and the Government for bringing forward this Bill. There is no doubt but that it is absolutely necessary. National security is paramount when considering revoking citizenship, as the Minister has outlined, and the Bill is necessary to close a particular loophole and ensure that no person c…” defenceimmigration | 164 |
| 29 Jun 2025 | Defence Procurement: SMEs “I thank the Minister for her answers. She is a regular visitor to Northern Ireland and supports the SMEs there, so when it comes to the defence industrial strategy to support SMEs, could she update the House, and myself in particular, on what she and the Government are doing to help SMEs in Northern Ireland to increase…” defenceeconomy-jobs | 62 |
| 29 Jun 2025 | Road Safety Powers: Parish and Town Councils “I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate. We do not have parish councils in Northern Ireland, but councils have an important role. They are not the enforcers of road safety like the police, but they have an active role. It is clear that local knowledge—the thing the hon. Gentleman is referring to—is impera…” local-governmenttransport | 83 |

| 29 Jun 2025 | Rare Cancers Bill (Money) “Just a quick one—I had hoped to speak to the Minister before she came to the Dispatch Box. In Northern Ireland, rare cancers account for a quarter of all cancer cases in both men and women. Will there be extra money set aside for Northern Ireland, where health is devolved, to deal with rare cancers? It is not just thos…” healthfiscal-policy | 84 |
| 29 Jun 2025 | Driven Grouse Shooting “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Harris. I thank the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (John Lamont) for setting the scene so well. He set out the landscape and introduced all the issues, and all Members who have contributed have, by and large, comprehended the importance of grouse s…” environmenteconomy-jobsculture-community | 1,425 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | BBC World Service Funding “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Jeremy. I thank the hon. Member for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket (Peter Prinsley) for bringing this debate today. For years, the BBC has been the trusted voice of impartiality across the globe. That reputation of trust has been hard earned. We have much to thank tho…” culture-communitydefenceeconomy-jobs | 533 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Local Bus Services “If we are to deliver local bus services, we must deliver buses that are efficient and technologically modern to ensure we can meet those targets. With that in mind, will the Minister assure the House that any action taken by Government to provide buses and local bus services will support bus manufacturing across all pa…” transportlocal-government | 72 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Business of the House “I wish to raise the urgent situation facing Christians in Syria, where a suicide attack on a Damascus church recently claimed the lives of at least 20 people and injured many more. The brutal assault is a devastating reminder of the threats that Christians and other religious communities continue to face in Syria, amid…” fiscal-policylabour-markethealth | 115 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | G7 and NATO Summits “I thank the Prime Minister very much for his statement. Nobody in the House can doubt the sincerity of his careful words and commitment to what is best for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the G7 and NATO summit. The Prime Minister will be aware of my support for Israel and that of so many in…” defenceeconomy-jobsimmigration | 138 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | IVF Egg Donation: Young Women “I thank the hon. Lady very much for that point. That is the central thrust of this important debate. There do not seem to be any controls, and donation is almost glamourised, so for those in financial need—I will talk about them shortly—it may look too good to be true. It certainly does need regulating, and I thank the…” healthcost-of-living | 2,237 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | IVF Egg Donation: Young Women “I thank all Members for their contributions to the debate. The hon. Member for Edinburgh North and Leith (Tracy Gilbert) referred in an intervention to the advertising issue, which is really important. She talked about Scotland, as I did, but there is also advertising elsewhere that needs to be controlled. The hon. Mem…” healthcost-of-living | 418 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | IVF Egg Donation: Young Women “I thank the Minister for her very comprehensive review. I have three quick questions. First, will the Government commit to undertaking a long-term study into the long-term health outcomes of women? That is one of the things I hope to see happen when it comes to egg retrieval. Secondly, will the Government review the sa…” healthcost-of-living | 113 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Legislative Scrutiny: Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill “I thank the hon. Member for making that statement. As everyone will know, I chair the all-party parliamentary group on international freedom of religion or belief. It is one of the issues that I am really concerned about, in this country and across the world, and I always speak about asylum seekers who are fleeing pers…” immigration | 99 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | IVF Egg Donation: Young Women “I beg to move, That this House has considered IVF egg donation in young women. I thank the Backbench Business Committee for granting this debate on adverts targeting young women for their eggs and attendant consequences. I know that another debate was supposed to be happening here, but unfortunately for the hon. Member…” healthcost-of-living | 807 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Armed Forces Day “I was fortunate to be there and had the opportunity to meet Lord Coaker. I was clear to him, as were the 60,000 people who turned out to commend and celebrate such a wonderful occasion. Will the Minister outline later on what can be done to recruit more Territorial Army soldiers? Will there be flexibility with employer…” defenceculture-community | 71 |

| 24 Jun 2025 | Access to Banking Hubs: Hertfordshire “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Desmond. I commend the hon. Member for South West Hertfordshire (Mr Mohindra) for securing this debate. He said that it is his first Westminster Hall debate; no doubt, now that he has the taste for it, he will be back next week for another one. I jest, of course, but …” local-governmenteconomy-jobssocial-care | 730 |
| 24 Jun 2025 | GP Funding: South-west England “I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this debate. He is right to address this issue—I spoke to him just before his introduction. We have great difficulty across all this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland when it comes to securing GPs for practices. In recent years, I have been trying to ensu…” healthlocal-governmenteconomy-jobs | 117 |
