Speeches by Rushworth.

“I want to ask about the international legal framework, particularly to you, Hélène. We are looking for solutions, so is there anything that you think we should be promoting?”

“What are the obligations of assistance?”

“Does that include the clearance of landmines?”

“May I ask one more question?”

“Yes.”

“A lot of people who work for you on the ground are former soldiers, part of DDR programmes. It is rumoured that thousands of them have been put on notice due to cuts. Is that correct and what is the impact of that?”

“Some 58,000 households in County Durham, including many in my constituency, are unable to charge their vehicles at home. What support are the Government giving to innovative local schemes such as kerb charging so that we can make electric vehicles more accessible for all my constituents?”

“19. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help support people to use electric vehicles.”

“A moment ago, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) mentioned GDP per capita; I see that he asked his question and ran away. The truth is that GDP per capita increased by only 4.3% in the past 16 years, compared with 46% in the years prior. What matters to my constituents in the left-behind towns and villages of B…”

“The Prime Minister has said he is going to go line by line through the budget. We know that 0.3% is actually 0.14%, assuming no change in in-country asylum spend. Which FDCO programmes do you think should be protected against future cuts within that 0.14%?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for the speech he is making and for putting child poverty at its heart. On educational outcomes, does he agree that auto-enrolling children would mean that schools could take advantage of many of the gateway supports that are premised on how many children at a school are on free school meals? I a…”

“As the hon. Lady is explaining very well, invasive lobular breast cancer is not classed as a rare cancer. I am concerned that it would not come within the scope of this Bill, so I gently ask if it could be widened at the next stage. As she says, lobular breast cancer has many characteristics of a rare cancer.”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West (Dr Arthur) for bringing the Bill to the House, and join him in paying tribute to our hon. Friend the Member for Mitcham and Morden (Dame Siobhain McDonagh) for her campaigning, and for her powerful speech calling for a revolution in attitudes. I also thank my …”

“I am grateful for the opportunity that the Bill provides to put on record the importance of discussing the scourge of child poverty in our country, particularly as it relates to children’s nutrition. It is a simple fact that the height of an average five-year-old increased progressively until 2013 but has since reverse…”

“We see in the bodies of children increased stunting, with the average 10-year-old 1 cm shorter than they were in 2010. How does that square with what the Minister is saying? We see a malnutrition crisis.”

“I am sure that the Minister shares my wish to see a bit more humility from Conservative Members, given their failure to get the agricultural budget out of the door. [Interruption.] I would ask the Minister—if I could hear myself think—to ensure that every penny in SFI arrangements will be paid to farmers, and also that…”

“Before I was an MP, I used to work in your world, so I am very interested in the issues that you are raising. I am interested to understand, when you were initially working in that situation, what sort of steps your organisation took to prepare you—or firstly to assess and analyse the risks but also to prepare you for …”

“Are you still working in that world?”

“Steve made a very interesting point that sparks a question. In your experience, do you feel that there is a difference between the way that local and international staff are treated by an international NGO for risk?”
