16 Dec 2025Backbench Business Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-12-16)

You may have heard in respect of the previous application that procedurally debate titles must relate to official ministerial responsibilities—I was very surprised to learn that the Government are not responsible for Valentine’s day, and it is not clear how equality in healthy relationships refers to a Government polic

People are obviously keen not to have the debate, but it has been a very interesting pitch. Why is there this inertia in the FCDO?

16 Dec 2025Backbench Business Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-12-16)

Do you aspire to have the FCDO respond to the debate, because it has that international education focus?

16 Dec 2025Backbench Business Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-12-16)

The thrust of the question is that there is a long wait for debates, so you would be looking into spring next year to get a slot.

That is the information we have.

We have statistics for the debates the Committee has allocated, and you have been allocated 14 in this Parliament, which is just under 10% of all the debates allocated by the Committee. You have three on our waiting list, and you turned down an offer for a debate on Thursday 8 January. Given our backlog, if you choose

Who do you think should lead on that?

Sticking in the space of regulation but looking more specifically at the UK’s: Professor Boobis, do you think a national database of PFAS contamination across water, soil and air would improve transparency, public awareness and regulatory decision making?

10 Dec 2025 Conduct of the Chancellor of the Exchequer

After the global financial crisis, which hit every country in the world, the Conservatives inherited a growing economy in 2010. I remember that it said it would wipe the deficit by the end of the 2015 Parliament, but that simply did not happen. We acknowledge the huge pressure that covid put on the economy, but we are

Thank you, Secretary of State, for your leadership in Brazil; I think it is increasingly important, given that the United States and President Trump have jettisoned their responsibilities in this space and there has been a dilution of the consensus that we previously enjoyed on the climate crisis at home. Bearing that

Can you be specific about what we might do?

8 Dec 2025Child Poverty Strategy

When I was growing up in the ’90s and ’00s, I had never heard of a food bank; they simply did not exist. There are now more than 3,000 in the country, including Hope for Belper in my constituency. Does my right hon. Friend agree that when the Conservatives talk about cutting £47 billion from public expenditure, that wo

We seem to be looking to Denmark in all sorts of different ways at the moment. Sticking with climate finance, we were pleased that climate and nature are both top priorities for the ODA budget. When making future announcements on international climate finance, will you commit to presenting climate finance commitments t

Thank you for joining us today. In respect of delivering on the seventh carbon budget, I would like to explore some questions around technology and infrastructure readiness. Beginning with aviation, Mr Counsell, could we draw some specific tangible aspects of progress that would be required between now and the mid-2030

3 Dec 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327)

You have outlined some of the challenges. Looking ahead, do you see any emerging bottlenecks that risk industry not being ready for the seventh carbon budget? Is there a deadline by which those need to be resolved?

37
3 Dec 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327)

What are the barriers to that? It would seem an obvious thing to do, so why is it that no one has done that?

3 Dec 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327)

You touched on the plants and the feedstock, which was very interesting. When are the latest viable dates for when we will start to see SAF plants and fuel transition infrastructure, and for the airspace upgrades to be operational if the sector is to remain on the Climate Change Committee’s pathway?

Would it cost to get it to where it needs to be?

Dr Hughes, for the shipping sector, our evidence shows that there is major uncertainty around fuel availability, port readiness and international alignments by 2040. What are the biggest obstacles that could stop shipping delivering on that pathway? What does the sector need from the Government in the next decade to ov

It sounds like it could be an important lever for upcoming trade deals that the country may wish to make.
