26 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 450)

Are you intending to keep the “race to a trillion” export goal in your White Paper?

26 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 450)

Thank you for being here today. The OBR says that growth in imports and exports will be “weak over the medium term”, which will reduce the productive potential of the UK economy. What contribution do you expect trade to make in delivering the fastest growth in the G7?

It is a pleasure and an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Christopher. I thank the right hon.

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Is the scheme designed to reduce the cost rather than give claimants the offer that they are en

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

This question is for Minister Thomas. Sir Alan Bates is calling for all claims in the GLO scheme to be completed by March 2025. Will you put a deadline on completing the GLO scheme?

34
19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Can you give a timeframe from when someone has submitted an application to when it will be completed? If you cannot give a closing date of March, can you give a date from when the process will start and when it will close?

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Sir Alan has threatened further action if the deadline is not set. What will you do to avoid going to court?

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Did you consider at the time whether it was fair to insert complex legal terminology in settlement offers to sub-postmasters, many of whom would lack legal representation?

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Do you think there are any barriers to application that you might need to address for those who have disabilities, those who do not speak English, or those for whom English is a second language?

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Building on that point, where are the bottlenecks or the barriers in the system?

19 Nov 2024Business and Trade Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 341)

Mr Watts, the Horizon shortfall scheme does not provide legal support funding for claimants prior to the outcome of the full assessment. Why design the scheme in such a way?

18 Nov 2024 Armed Forces Commissioner Bill

With Armistice Day just one week behind us, and with respect and admiration for veterans, service personnel and their families still fresh in the public consciousness, it is only fitting that we speak about a Bill that will improve the quality of life in service and ensure that our military personnel receive the respec
