Speeches by Rushworth.

“Is that at the level of the FCDO, or are you suggesting working through partners like the HALO Trust and MAG?”

“In the Government’s engagement with Israel on that, do we have any influence? Do you feel that we are listened to?”

“I should draw attention to my entry in the register of interests, having had the opportunity to be up front in Sri Lanka with the HALO Trust. The Government of Syria have set up this national mine action centre. Do you have a sense of how the FCDO could meaningfully engage and support them with that work?”

“I thank the Government for their engagement with Back Benchers who represent rural constituencies, and for bringing forward this support so swiftly—in marked contrast to the 200 days it took the Conservatives. However, I share some of the concerns that have echoed around the Chamber about the people who are just about …”

“Constituents in Weardale, Teesdale and Gaunless valley are already paying double what they would have paid for their heating oil a week ago, and some of them simply cannot afford to fill up their tanks. Thanks to the fiscal headroom that the Chancellor has created, there is money in the system to support them, so will …”

“I knew that my hon. Friend could be relied on to talk about WASH. I also knew that I could rely on her to speak passionately about women and girls. Before my hon. Friend the Member for Lewisham East (Janet Daby) even spoke, I knew that she, too, would speak passionately about that topic. I knew that I could rely on bot…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Rotherham (Sarah Champion) for securing this debate. I draw the House’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, because, like many here, I have extensive experience in this field. I feel somewhat in an invidious position, if I am honest, because I com…”

“Q4. The surge in the global cost of oil and gas has the risk of pushing up food and energy prices, which is a real concern for my constituents in Bishop Auckland, just as we are turning a corner on the cost of living crisis. Does this not show the importance of ignoring the opposition parties, and of investing in secur…”

“What Elizabeth has been talking about is quite a good segue. Thinking about long-term sustainability, can you give some tangible examples from your work on what you have seen of effective capacity and capability building at grassroots in how climate finance is delivered?”

“I am conscious of the time for the next panel. Elizabeth, I am interested to know how locally led approaches contribute to gender equality around the inclusion of women and girls.”

“Zahid, I will ask the same question to you on the benefits of locally led bottom-up approaches to climate action. It would be helpful if you are able to give tangible examples from your work that we could understand and relate to.”

“The UK is increasingly using multilaterals to deliver its climate finance. Avinash, could you first comment on the benefits and risks of this approach, and on any opportunities for the UK to influence reforms to the global climate finance architecture?”

“Thank you. That was a great answer.”

“A moment ago the hon. Lady referenced Nathan Gill. I share her abhorrence at what Reform’s leader in Wales did in taking bribes from Russia, but it was already illegal—it was a case of being caught. What does she suggest that the Bill should do to prevent those sorts of illegal activities from happening?”

“Under first past the post, every seat is a different contest, so I am still confused about why the right hon. Gentleman feels that enabling more people to vote will be beneficial to the Labour party.”
