The Palestinian people face intolerable hardship, suffering and misery. In Gaza, the world witnesses the killing of civilians, the blocking of aid, the destr…”

“I certainly think that the Government should look at that. There is obviously a process to go through in terms of proscribing, but it is something that should be looked at. With regard to the plight of the Palestinian people in Gaza, the UK Government must redouble their efforts to pressure Israel to reopen crossings a…”

“I agree. We need to make sure that there is a Palestine to first be recognised and then be part of that two-state solution. In May 2025, Israeli Ministers approved 22 new illegal settlements in the west bank—the biggest expansion in decades. Defence Minister Israel Katz, as reported by the BBC, said the move “prevents …”

“It is a privilege to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. I commend my hon. Friend the Member for Dunfermline and Dollar (Graeme Downie) for securing this important debate and for his speech highlighting what a Labour Government in Westminster can mean for our constituents in Scotland.

“Your metric is effectively measuring other things as well, so it is in addition.”

“On developing that indicator, why are you looking at effectively a new metric rather than using a pre-existing one such as the RICS one? Why are you not using one that is already established? Why a new one?”

“I will follow up with a couple more questions. Mr Boylan, your current strategic five-year plan says that there is an “indicator to be developed on embodied carbon of Homes England supported development”; how is that progressing?”

“It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Sir Jeremy. In recent years, we have seen a rise in disinformation, with malign actors seeking to sow division and distrust within communities, across countries and throughout entire regions. One of the key problems with our global information ecosystem is that it takes …”

“You mentioned performance; is cost an issue as well? You mentioned earlier improving the quality and performance to mitigate costs. Is cost a potential issue for customers?”

“You mentioned the capacity for testing and certification. Would it be helpful if there were more resources within that, not just for your own company but for the industry more generally?”

“You mentioned the capacity for testing and certification. Would it be helpful if there were more resources within that, not just for your own company but for the industry more generally?”

“In terms of those issues around performance, what was the response of customers? What was your interaction with them? What was their feedback? What was their reaction?”

“Mr Spence, you set out earlier that one of the challenges in moving away from the use of PFAS was around the standards, testing and so on. Were there any other challenges that you faced in that process at all?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Stuart. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy (Melanie Ward) on securing this important debate on the role of war memorials. Glasgow North is home to the Western Necropolis, where nearly 500 service personnel from both world wars are la…”

“Picking up from what the hon. Member for North Cornwall (Ben Maguire) said about delays in the process of payments to those dismissed from the armed forces, that experience of delay has been raised with me by my constituent, Paul, who I thank for giving me permission to discuss his story today. Paul loved music from an…”
