Speeches by Garnier.

“I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. I speak on this Bill as the chair of the all-party parliamentary group for space. I congratulate the hon. Member for Glasgow East (John Grady) on having such a massive effect on the UK space industry by changing just two words in the…”

“Thank you very much, Mr Blackman. It is a great pleasure to be here for, I think, the first time in 15 years. The proposal of the debate is to explore the scourge of rogue builders that is blighting many people’s lives. I have been working on it for a number of years, since I was a victim of a rogue builder myself. Whe…”

“Yes. I think Matthew Pennycook is the Minister responsible.”

“In her Budget last year, the Chancellor tucked away about £10 billion over the next couple of years from reform to the non-dom tax regime. It is important to remember that the OBR said in its fiscal outlook that that figure was “highly uncertain”, and a high-level survey by Oxford Economics found that fully two thirds …”

“That rather depends on one’s point of view. I think it was fortunate for everyone in this room apart from Conservative Members. Moving on, we are absolutely supportive of bringing these products within the scope of financial regulation. As we have heard, the sector has seen rapid growth. Because the products are now us…”

“It is an absolute joy to serve under your very professional and diligent leadership and chairmanship of this Committee, Mr Stuart. I also congratulate the Minister on his debut in a Delegated Legislation Committee. He does it masterfully. These buy now, pay later measures, as colleagues will recall and as pointed out b…”

“It is a great pleasure to serve under your talented leadership, Sir Desmond. It is very good to be here. I also congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for South West Hertfordshire (Mr Mohindra). This may be his debut debate in Westminster Hall, but I am sure that it is the first of many. He has always been a champion f…”

“I start off by saying a huge thank you to the hon. Member for Spen Valley (Kim Leadbeater) for the extraordinary amount of work she has done across this whole debate. This is the first time I have spoken in this debate, and, like many Members whose speeches I have heard, I come to it through personal experience. I have…”

“The hon. Gentleman is always here. A number of important things have come up in this debate, one of which is the importance of the clusters. We have heard talk the north-east cluster and the Cornwall cluster. For me, Cornwall is incredibly important: as the hon. Member for St Ives knows, my spiritual home is in Newlyn.…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the impact of the space industry on the economy. I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests and to my non-financial interests. For the purposes of this important debate, I speak as the chair of the all-party parliamentary group for…”

“I thank all Members who made a contribution to the debate. It has been fantastic to hear from the hon. Members for Strangford (Jim Shannon), for Congleton (Sarah Russell), for St Ives (Andrew George), for Truro and Falmouth (Jayne Kirkham) and for Stockton North (Chris McDonald), as well as the Front-Bench contribution…”

“My right hon. Friend makes a good point. This is about face-to-face relationships, not something done through an app. Behind the statistics I cited are real people and real communities. The digitally excluded, older people, those in poor health and people with lower financial resilience mostly rely on cash. Small busin…”

“I also congratulate the hon. Member for Blyth and Ashington (Ian Lavery) and my right hon. Friend the Member for Tatton (Esther McVey) on securing this debate. A great strength of feeling about banks has been evident in this debate, and it is important to remember the importance of banks not just to our communities but…”

“I agree 100%. My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. Let us be clear that the decline of our high streets and the decline of bank branches have run concurrently as behaviour has changed over the last couple of decades and retail activity has increasingly moved online. Banks are, of course, commercial entities, and t…”

“Not mine, perhaps.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under you, Mr Mundell. Congratulations on your tennis match this morning; I am glad it went well. Lawn tennis—you can’t beat it. This SI started its life in the previous Government and has come through more or less untouched. It is almost as if the general election never happened—it is extraor…”

“It was to do with the assessment being done of the impact on politically exposed persons. When can we expect that report to come out?”

“Yet again, we are in glorious agreement on both sides of Committee Room 9, which is rather fun. The Opposition absolutely agree with the draft regulations; as the Minister rightly says, the work was started under the last Government, and it is important that we continue to support it. However, we recognise the critical…”

“My apologies, Madam Deputy Speaker. These are points that we feel are worth noting, but I take your comments. I will turn to amendment 3, tabled by the Liberal Democrats. Although we share the intent behind the amendment, which mirrors the Conservatives’ amendment on MREL limits for banks, there is a critical differenc…”

“Before speaking to new clause 3 specifically, let me reiterate that the Opposition welcome the Government’s decision to carry over the legislation from the previous Parliament, and that the principles underpinning the Bill continue to enjoy strong cross-party support. We all want and need confidence in our banking sect…”
