3 Jun 2025International Development Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 525)

You are articulating very well the challenges of resettling displaced people after conflict, and the tensions that can exist in those communities. The UK in the past has been a funder of many social programmes on the ground doing just that. Given the cuts to bilateral aid that we know are coming, there presumably are g

I want to ask about localisation and whether you feel that offers better value for money than centrally managed programmes.

I just wonder what the increased costs will be down the line. They could be more than you will save.

1 Jun 2025Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend mentioned his elderly constituents, and I have similar issues in my constituency. People are telling me that they cannot even do their shopping anymore because of bus cuts in Shildon. One person feels that she will have to leave the village that she has lived in for decades because she is losing her eyes

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

“Angry, disappointed and betrayed” are the words that the chairman of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations used to describe the Brexit deal that the hon. Gentleman voted for. Why did he vote for that deal?

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

I appreciate the right hon. Gentleman’s candour, and I share his views on the previous Conservative Government. I would say, however, that to have a grown-up negotiation, we have to put something on the table to get something in return. Clearly, the previous Conservative Government felt that putting that on the table w

Those people are clearly delighted that the situation that the hon. Gentleman previously voted for has continued. That is how international trade works: we buy things and we sell things. Supermarkets such as Asda, Morrisons, Marks and Spencer; producers such as Salmon Scotland, the British Meat Processors Association a

As has been said already, there is increased access for British goods into the European markets. I will come on to some others.

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

That is 100% correct. I do not think that there is any Member in this place who has not met businesses in their constituency that previously exported to Europe and heard the tales of woe as a result of the deal that the previous Government negotiated. That is why so many people are lining up to say that the deal repres

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

I was not in the previous Conservative Government, so I cannot answer that, but it is absolutely clear that what people voted for actually got worse.

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman is disagreeing with the shadow Home Secretary, because I was quoting his words. Is it not also the case that Brexit ended our co-operation on policing and ended intelligence-sharing? I welcome the fact that, with this deal, the Government have negotiated access to EU facial imaging data to he

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

I am sure the Minister will answer that point in his summing up, but it is my understanding that we do not have access to facial recognition technology, which is really important to help us to better police our borders. This is the simple reality: the Brexit that we were promised did not do the things that people promi

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

It is so obvious that improved co-operation with all the countries just 20 miles off our shore can benefit our security and trade. That is what the reset is seeking to do. It is not dragging us back into Europe—I think that is nonsense, and I am not hearing any credible person say that. The right hon. Member for South

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

Perhaps we could rehash this debate. We are not here to represent just our own interests; we are here to represent the interests of our constituents. I have constituents who will benefit from the new arrangements, such as on e-gates, and I am also grateful that the measure on pet passports has been negotiated, particul

A moment ago, the hon. Gentleman said he is yet to see a Japanese, Uruguayan or Australian person in Boston and Skegness. What makes him think that European young people would be more likely to pitch up there?

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

As I said in an intervention, the chairman of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations used the words “angry, disappointed and betrayed” to describe the previous Government’s Brexit deal. That was a deal that many of the Conservative Members here voted for, so I am rather bewildered as to why the biggest cr

21 May 2025Access to NHS Dentistry

I agree with the right hon. Gentleman about the 2006 NHS dentistry contract, which clearly needed revision. Why did his party not do that in 14 years in government?

21 May 2025EU-UK Summit

Inevitably, in any deal, you have to put something on the table in order to get the benefits of that deal. Could the hon. Gentleman give me an example of a UK trade agreement where the UK has not had to put something on the table?
