Speeches by Kyrke-Smith.

“Have you had any applications for international funding rejected and what reasons were given if so?”

“A final question from me. Have you had an application for international funding rejected, and if so, what were the reasons given? Perhaps to you, Mrs Mtonga, first.”

“Hi, this is Laura, and I will just build on my colleagues’ questions. It seems to me that for international donors, partners, to do localisation effectively it does require not just this change in systems and processes, but also in the culture and the mindset of these international organisations. I would be interested …”

“Thank you. Dr Ahmed, briefly, you wanted to add to that.”

“That is good. Yes, Ms Mtonga.”

“Farmers in my constituency tell me how much they are struggling to see a GP and to get public transport—the buses just are not there. The rural economy has been ruined by 14 years of Conservative Government. Can the Minister reassure us that the necessary actions that we are taking in the Budget will get our public ser…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Mark. I will highlight three suggestions that I have heard from my constituents in Aylesbury. First, information about home-to-school transport should be provided to parents in a timely and accurate way. I have heard about so many parents finally securing that scho…”

“Many constituents in Aylesbury have raised concerns about the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh. They have shown me extremely concerning social media content containing threats to Hindus to leave the country or face extermination. Does the Minister agree that that is unacceptable? Will she outline what representations she…”

“Tuesday was a proud day for Aylesbury, as Dylan Bachelet reached the final of the “Great British Bake Off”. A former student of Sir Henry Floyd grammar school, aged just 20, he rose to the occasion again and again throughout the series with his dough-lightful creations. Will the Leader of the House join me in congratul…”

“I thank the Minister for her updates. Part of the reason that Sudan is becoming not just a devastating conflict but a protracted one is the involvement of state and non-state actors from elsewhere in Africa, the middle east and further afield. Does she consider Sudan to be a foreign policy priority as well as a humanit…”

“14. What steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to demonstrate leadership on climate change.”

“Thank you, Claire. I think we will want to come back to those points. I want to go back to the Emergency Response Rooms; we have heard some references to them and the vital work that they are doing. Alsanosi, could you take a step back and set out for us how they work, who runs them, how many there are, and what the op…”

“The world’s forests are the lungs of the earth, but we are losing them at an alarming rate. An area the size of Azerbaijan, where COP29 was hosted, is destroyed every year. Will the Foreign Secretary explain what the Government are doing to preserve the world’s forests and to support those who protect them?”

“It sounds like they are not receiving a lot of international funding. Can you set out for us what difference more support for the Emergency Response Rooms could make?”

“Thank you, Claire. I think we will want to come back to those points. I want to go back to the Emergency Response Rooms; we have heard some references to them and the vital work that they are doing. Alsanosi, could you take a step back and set out for us how they work, who runs them, how many there are, and what the op…”

“It sounds like they are not receiving a lot of international funding. Can you set out for us what difference more support for the Emergency Response Rooms could make?”

“Charities such as Aylesbury Women’s Aid do brilliant and vital work to support survivors of domestic abuse. However, when these survivors interact with other public-facing services such as emergency or healthcare services, they are not always met with the same level of understanding. What measures is the Minister takin…”

“I have just returned from the west bank, where I met Roland Friedrich, director of UNRWA affairs, and saw UNRWA’s work at first hand. In the west bank alone, that work includes running 97 schools and 43 health centres and providing public services such as clean drinking water and rubbish collection. Does the Minister a…”

“12. What steps her Department is taking to tackle violence against women and girls.”

“Aylesbury Wombles is a fantastic litter-picking charity that works hard to make Aylesbury a greener, cleaner and better place to live. In September alone, it collected 5,749 plastic bottles. Will the Leader of the House join me in congratulating Richard Walker, Abigail Walker and all the Aylesbury Wombles on their rema…”
