Speeches by Murray.

“Have you anything to add, Clare?”

“Thank you for coming in. Could you explain the operation of the Cabinet Office’s cross-Government co-ordination role in relation to FOIs?”

“We successfully managed to apply for an interim banking hub in Kilsyth, which opened only four weeks ago. One of the grounds for having that hub was the closure of the Santander branch in Cumbernauld. There was a push then saying that the nearest alternative was the Santander branch in Kirkintilloch. Six months after t…”

“Does the Cabinet Office have any role in supporting the performance of different Departments in carrying out that work? What performance standards are Departments held to?”

“I associate myself with the comments made by the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Sorcha Eastwood) and the Secretary of State about the bravery of the PSNI and the delivery driver. This attack serves as a timely reminder that, for a handful of individuals in Northern Ireland, a return to violence is never that far away. G…”

“BriggsAmasco in my constituency invests heavily in apprenticeships for the next generation of mastic asphalt tradespeople. According to BriggsAmasco, only 11 people in that part of Scotland are fully qualified in this work, and the only route to qualifying is through training programmes in England. The only training pr…”

“I thank the Minister not only for the statement, but for his engagement with us over the last six months. A constituent of mine applied for her MyCSP pension quote back in August and finally got the quote last week, but she is still a considerable distance away from actually getting money into her bank account. Will th…”

“Following on from that point, I am the Member of Parliament for Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch, which is a relatively urban constituency just outside Glasgow. However, we have a couple of rural villages that are not on the gas grid. Therefore, they are using heating oil. The one thing I probably would want to correct is…”

“My great grandmother was not a native English speaker; her first language was Scottish Gaelic. In North Lanarkshire, according to the 2022 census, 483 people speak Gaelic in the home, and over 2,000 speak Urdu in the home. The hon. Gentleman suggests that the new clause would make things equal for all, but would it not…”

“We have heard anecdotal evidence of AI being used to draft WPQs. In your view, first, should it be? Secondly, does the system need to adapt to the growth of AI?”

“I hear what the hon. Gentleman says about younger people, but what about the older end of the spectrum? My mother decided that she would give up driving at the age of 84, last February. No longer being behind the wheel of a car was a sound decision for her and probably for most of the people in the local area, but it m…”

“We have had quite a bit of evidence to this inquiry around policing. I particularly want to go back to the statement that Deputy Chief Constable Singleton made that a return to 50-50 recruitment would not necessarily be effective in increasing Catholic representation. Can you explain the rationale behind that?”

“Thank you for coming, both. I want to concentrate more on the current workforce and what it looks like. I really valued the morning that we were able to spend at the team PSNI event, and thought that its focus on being one workforce, with no differential between police staff and police officer, was really important.
