| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “What about frontier technologies such as nuclear fusion? Is there a point at which you think a technology needs to be ready before for the National Wealth Fund can invest in it?” | 32 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “The National Wealth Fund has increased funding, but it is still limited. You will probably get more bang for your buck by focusing on a smaller number of sectors and getting those sectors right. In addition to the core sectors, the National Wealth Fund is focusing on or having a role in life sciences, the creative indu…” | 110 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “This is the stage where I make my every-hearing plea for short answers, Mr Flint. We have four strategic priority areas: clean energy, digital tech, advanced manufacturing and transport. The Chancellor’s statement also says that you should support investments in dual use. Do you think that there would have been a benef…” | 63 |

| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “What about more frontier technologies such as nuclear fusion?” | 9 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “Presumably, it would have to reach a certain kind of technology readiness level to be investable and be more for you, as opposed to one of the other institutions.” | 29 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “Looking at your statement of intent, you mentioned various wider sectors: life sciences, creative industries, water, waste and the circular economy and natural capital. The National Wealth Fund has limited funds and limits on its sector expertise, which is why you see investment funds and trusts focusing on sectors, an…” | 108 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “Someone might say on the other side that the particular problem may come from a politician saying something is a particular problem. We are a small trading nation off the north coast of Europe, so we are better off focusing on a few priority areas and getting growth in those areas. What would you say to that counterarg…” | 62 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “On the strategic priorities, the sectors are clean energy, digital technologies, advanced manufacturing and transport. We are in a very different world now. Would there have been benefits to defence being one of the strategic priorities?” | 36 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “Given the changing world that we are in, is it likely that defence will be included as a separate sector over the next two years, or at least kept under review? Time is marching on, so we need short answers.” | 40 |
| 1 Jul 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 806) “Will the National Wealth Fund have a focus on space, which is important for the Scottish economy?” | 17 |

| 25 Jun 2025 | Topical Questions “T6. First Bus is axing the critical 65 bus, which runs through Dalmarnock, Bridgeton and the Gorbals in my seat and into the seat of my hon. Friend the Member for Rutherglen (Michael Shanks). Without the 65, Dorothy, who is in her 90s, will not be able to visit family and friends. That is a loss for everyone, because D…” transportlocal-governmentenvironment | 86 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1023) “Sorry to interrupt, but in this world of PuFins that we are in now—this really is a yes/no—is everyone very clear that it is for discrete purposes, and not for clever ruses that waste taxpayers’ money?” | 36 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1023) “I have one very quick question that probably admits a yes or no answer. From Hammersmith and Fulham with interest rate swaps, to local councils and solar farms, the public sector’s eyes sometimes light up with investments that could solve all their financial problems, and then they go drastically wrong. Is that front a…” | 65 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1023) “Scotland has higher public spending than England, but Shona Robison, the SNP Cabinet Secretary, has criticised the spending review for leaving Scotland “short changed”. What is your response to Shona on that?” | 32 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1023) “And on military and naval spending?” | 6 |
| 25 Jun 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1023) “As you are seeing the Scottish Government tomorrow, in Glasgow city region and the Clyde, there is obviously investment in the city region deal in the spending review, and investment in the Glasgow military shipyards and the nuclear deterrent at Faslane. How is the SNP Government co-operating with the UK Government to …” | 71 |
| 24 Jun 2025 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 684) “It’s not a test; it is just literally three words for each: under-represented groups and things that we should be talking about regulating.” | 23 |
