16 Jul 2025Freedom of Religion or Belief: UK Foreign Policy

Absolutely. The situation is very grave in many parts of the world. In fact, it is more than grave—it is intolerable. In our foreign policy, the UK must proactively seek to champion freedom of belief and religion. The hon. Member for North Northumberland, the special envoy, has identified 10 priority countries where fr

I am delighted to hear about all the work going on in the hon. Lady’s community. That is also happening across the country; Dawlish Against Plastic and Plastic Free Newton Abbot are in my constituency However, the Marine Conservation Society wrote to me to say that plastic pollution on UK beaches rose by 9.5% between 2

15 Jul 2025Engagements

Q15. During my meetings with guests who are in my constituency under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, they have told me that they are worried about their visas running out, even with the 18-month extension. They see reports of Ukrainians being refused asylum in the United Kingdom because it is said to be safe to return to

13 Jul 2025 Future of the Post Office

I was slightly concerned that the franchising of Crown post offices, such as the one at Teignmouth in my constituency, has already gone ahead, prior to the consultation. Turning to a different issue, Royal Mail is obligated to provide a post box within half a mile of any house, but many new estates in my constituency h

Why was that delayed? I understood that that was supposed to be part of the initial contract.

I am always very interested in these sorts of systems, having put in a number of them over the years. In my day, they were called data warehousing. It sounds to me as if you have built a super data warehouse with an AI analytical engine on top of it. What you have described as going into AWS, I would describe, in simpl

First of all, have I summarised what your system does in a reasonable way?

8 Jul 2025Science, Innovation and Technology Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 790)

That wasn’t the question. It was working on the Palantir system, not working with. You are including all the people who work on the old systems that they are getting data from, and of course they are working with them, but it is working and understanding what the Palantir system itself is doing. This is the point about

8 Jul 2025Science, Innovation and Technology Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 790)

There were a couple of things that the previous witness told us about the Palantir system, the federated data platform. One that I was particularly curious about was the people working on it. He said that there were thousands of them in the NHS. Do you recognise that? He also stated a preference for people migrating fr

7 Jul 2025Road and Rail Projects

I thank the Secretary of State for greenlighting the work on the A382 into Newton Abbot. That will be a massive improvement when it is completed. May I congratulate the successful teams at Teignbridge and at Devon county council, who have been working on the project for some while? However, I am disappointed to hear th

3 Jul 2025 Company Directors (Duties) Bill

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time. Under current UK law, company directors have one overriding duty: to maximise shareholder interest. This narrow, outdated legal framework of shareholder primacy has created a culture in which short-term financial performance overrides long-term sustainability. The

2 Jul 2025 Phone Theft

On that very topic, the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee had an inquiry where we put this to Apple and Google. It turns out that phones that are reported stolen in this country go on something called the GSMA blacklist, which stops the hardware from working and the phones cannot be reused in this country. T

2 Jul 2025 NHS 10-Year Plan

Having secured a Westminster Hall debate on the issue, I am delighted to hear the Secretary of State reconfirm that the Carr-Hill formula will be revised and changed. I am also delighted with the ambition of the new plan, and I think it is very good in an awful lot of ways. Will the Secretary of State remember that GP

2 Jul 2025Women’s State Pension Age: Financial Redress

I congratulate the hon. Member for Salford (Rebecca Long Bailey) on securing this debate, and I thank her for her work. Does my hon. Friend agree that this is about trust in Government and a betrayal of trust for all of us who stood there with placards saying, “I support the WASPI women”? They should be following that

1 Jul 2025Draft Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Amendment, etc.) Regulations 2025

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer, and I thank the Minister for bringing forward these regulations. The Liberal Democrats, too, think they are a good thing, and we will be supporting the instrument. It is nice to see the scourge of abandoning vapes—both disposable and non-disposable—in the
