Speeches by Sullivan.

“How many voluntary redundancies are expected? Do you expect any compulsory redundancies?”

“You do not feel there has been any change from your usual approach in terms of your engagement and being able to give as much information as possible to allow Bectu and the NUJ to engage with their members?”

“Do you accept there has been a deviation from your usual path of engagement with Bectu and the NUJ?”

“We heard earlier this morning great concerns from the unions around the lack of engagement and lack of detailed information that they would usually expect to see, which would in turn allow them to have detailed conversations with their members. That appears not to have happened in this case. There are also reports that…”

“If I can ask one final point, the News Recovery Plan, did that come out of STV or was that a national plan? Where can we view this plan?”

“Do you feel there must be a wider conversation to discuss the challenges about how you protect the delivery of local news?”

“What do you think should be done to protect the health of local journalism and broadcasting? We have already heard how important that is to local communities, particularly among certain demographic groups.”

“What do you think should be done in general to protect the health of local journalism? We have heard how important it is and we have heard what the challenges are. I would like to get a feel for what you think the solutions could be or how we protect that delivery of local news.”

“You have already outlined why the changes proposed by STV are so significant for local journalism. Is STV alone in wanting to make such huge changes regarding the reporting of local news?”

“It very much seems to be a departure from the norm.”

“Touching on the lack of engagement up front with STV, do you feel that the role of the trade unions has been undermined, given the lack of that constructive and up-front engagement that you are used to in a way that does not allow you to engage with your own members?”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that it is important to speak responsibly, with care and accuracy, about the successful UK arm of Petrofac? To do otherwise will only serve to undermine the business and job security that we all want to see across the House. What steps is he taking to ensure that it has a long-term future in t…”

“With one in six young Scots not in education, employment or training, including hundreds across my constituency, I welcome the Government’s youth guarantee to give young people the training or job support they need. However, with stubborn youth unemployment, the Scottish Government’s swingeing cuts to the college secto…”

“7. What steps he is taking to support young people into employment, education or training.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Betts. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Neath and Swansea East (Carolyn Harris) for securing this important debate. I wish to start my remarks on World Menopause Day with a tribute to a simple yet powerful initiative: the menopause APPG, diligently chaired by my h…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that this issue not only has an impact on a woman’s feeling of self-worth and value, and on her career progression, but can have a severe economic impact on her family?”

“Whitburn Community Development Trust is at the heart of the town, providing many vital services for local residents including a community fridge and garden. Last Saturday, Charlotte, David and the team hosted their first charity ball, raising more than £7,000 for local projects. Will the Leader of the House make a stat…”

“Like others, I welcome the ceasefire and the return of hostages to their families, but that is very much tempered by the loss of thousands of lives over these past two years—loved ones who will never return home. Elected representatives, humanitarian organisations and individuals across the world, including our constit…”

“I thank my right hon. Friend for her statement, which set out clearly how far the UK is lagging behind our European neighbours on faster and easier access to services. That said, my constituents have raised two main concerns with me, and I would be grateful if she could provide some reassurance. One is about why they w…”

“As a member of the Scottish Affairs Committee, I thank my hon. Friend for securing time for this statement. The report makes it clear that drug consumption rooms are just one of the tools that can be used to reduce drug-related harms and that one intervention must not come at the cost of another. Scotland sustains the …”
