| 16 Jul 2025 | Business of the House “I thank my hon. Friend for raising that. What we see happening in Gaza right now is truly horrifying.

| 16 Jul 2025 | Business of the House “I could not have put it better myself. The contrast between the NHS in England and the NHS in Scotland under the SNP Government could not be clearer. As my hon.

| 16 Jul 2025 | Business of the House “I am really sorry to hear about that case. Those who suffered with mesothelioma still suffer a great injustice. I will absolutely ensure that my hon.

| 16 Jul 2025 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036) “I’m quite good at pub quizzes. Make it about sport.” | 10 |

| 16 Jul 2025 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036) “No, no, I was just going on to make another point. So, look, can we do better? Believe me, I am the person in Government who is constantly reminding Ministers to make sure they factor these things in completely into any comms plan—any plans they have—and that, as you said in your opening, coming to the House is not onl…” | 146 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036) “Yes. There are logistical things to do. But what I want to be really clear about, what would have happened previously and was suggested—not by the Secretary of State—was that the Secretary of State would do that conference somewhere, while a junior Minister gave the statement in the House. Sometimes Mr Speaker will mak…” | 222 |
