Speeches by Burke.

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield Hallam (Olivia Blake) for securing today’s debate. It is a privilege to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Huq. For any child in modern Britain to grow up in poverty is inexcusable. We must consider the impact that the no recourse to public funds regime has on child povert…”

“The UK has an ageing workforce, with one in three workers aged over 50. To make net zero a success, surely we need to encourage more people to stay and transition into the clean energy sector. Can you comment on what you see as the biggest skill gaps? I know that we have spoken a lot about that today, but what are the …”

“The previous question has touched a bit on my question. My question was going to be about the shortage of clean energy, the skills and whether that is hindering the project, but what could the Government do to ensure that the clean energy job supply chain scales up at the pace needed to match the decline of oil and gas…”

“That is great. I hope we can fill the skill gaps that you do not know about, and that that happens soon, so that we can give an opportunity to everybody, no matter what age they are. Specifically when you speak about young people, there are great opportunities coming for them.”

“That is great. I just want every young person to have an opportunity, so thanks very much for that.”

“A concern for me is the barriers that are there for young people, which you spoke about. How do we get that message out to the schools and colleges? Is there anything that we can do that can help you with that? Is there a plan to get into the colleges? I know that a lot of schools in my area would be very interested in…”

“That is really good; thanks for that. I know it was quite problematic at the start to get community engagement, but it is good to know that that is still going on.”

“Welcome, Lord Advocate. Although those within the facility will not be prosecuted for possession offences, those en route with drugs may be. To what extent is this distinction pragmatic?”

“Thank you. I think you have answered part of the question regarding the exclusion zone. If Glasgow City health and social care partnership had included a request for an exclusion zone in their application to you, would you have granted it?”

“Thank you for coming along today. A lot of what I was going to ask has been covered in what you were speaking about, but one question I had was about the local people in the area: have you had many complaints from them about the issues, if any, have been happening there? I was also going to ask about the impact on the …”

“Q14. As a result of a relationship breakdown, my constituent Martin and his three children ended up homeless. They have gone from living in a hotel to temporary accommodation. Martin feels abandoned because Glasgow city council has not been in contact for months. The months of uncertainty have disrupted all their lives…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered poverty in Glasgow North East constituency. It is a privilege to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Butler. I am grateful for the opportunity to raise this most serious of subjects. I rise to speak not only as a Member of Parliament for Glasgow North East, but as someone who…”

“I will have to talk quickly. I thank the Minister for her speech. I put on the record that the Springburn jobcentre is doing an amazing job at getting people into work; I was blown away by what they are doing, and wanted to state that here today. I thank all Members for their contributions; it has been a very good deba…”

“I will direct my question to Mr Hardie and Mr Pritchard. How many refinery workers will be made redundant in April? I know there have been media reports suggesting that there could be 435 job losses over the next 18 months. Can you tell me how accurate this figure is?”

“Do you know if all the employees facing redundancy will receive their 18 months’ pay?”

“Thank you for clarifying that. We know that the job losses will have a big impact on the community. Has there been any assessment of the number of indirect job losses?”

“6. What steps she is taking to promote active travel.”

“Earlier this week, I was delighted to welcome St Paul’s Youth Forum from my constituency to Parliament. It does amazing work to provide opportunities to young people, no matter their background. One example of its work is the On Bikes scheme, which helps young people stay active by offering repairs and bike loans. Will…”

“Good morning, everyone, and thanks for coming. Mr Borthwick, recently the AGCC described the extension to the windfall tax as “reckless”. Earlier we spoke about the energy crisis that faced companies that have made excessive profits in the last few years. Given so many are still experiencing high bills, can you appreci…”

“I had another question that would have been a caveat to that but I will not go into that. What is your assessment of the industry’s progress towards the North sea transition deal’s targets?”
