Speeches by Murray.

“We have all learned that if an online service is free, we are the product. That is the business model used by the social media giants. They track what we watch, what we click, what we like and what we fear. They then build detailed profiles of our behaviour and they turn that behaviour into data and advertising revenue…”

“I absolutely agree; it is important that it is clear who is accountable for the harms that occur. That is why I urge the Government to work with the Liberal Democrats to introduce age ratings for social media. As the hon. Member for Milton Keynes Central (Emily Darlington) so clearly laid out, ratings help parents and …”

“Retired civil servants in my constituency and across the UK are being offered interest-free loans after serious delays to pension payments following the transfer of their pension scheme administration to Capita in December 2025. Will the Leader of the House grant time for a debate on the administration of the civil ser…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mr Twigg. For us Liberal Democrats, this is also a conscience vote. Within the limitations and context laid out in the order, we will support it.”

“I agree with the hon. Member. We need to investigate the circumstances fully and, if it proves necessary, reconsider any decisions that have been taken. Russian interference is a shared threat, and we are weaker when we act alone. We must shut the loopholes in election law that let Russian money buy access in British p…”

“I thank the hon. Member for Mitcham and Morden (Dame Siobhain McDonagh) and my hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Charlie Maynard) for securing this important debate. I am here speaking tonight on behalf of my friend George, who is now in his eighties and still fundraising for research into brain tumours in the name of…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Pritchard. I thank the hon. Member for South Norfolk (Ben Goldsborough) for his well-informed opening speech, and congratulate the petitioners on bringing this important issue to the House. Russian interference is happening today. It is a deliberate strategy to weaken …”

“The recent events we have seen unfold in Gaza have been horrific. They are without doubt some of the worst atrocities to have taken place in modern times, carried out by Israel and centred in one small region. The targeting of civilian infrastructure has caused maximum suffering for the civilian population. Medical pro…”

“On 11 September last year, I stood in this House to request time for a debate on the Nolan principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership. In the light of the serious concern arising from the release of the Epstein files, the links to the retired Lord Mandelson and …”

“Are you saying that behavioural change is part of the solution? Do you think that behaviour has been a large part of the cause, or is it just part of an education process?”

“Ofgem has announced plans to introduce a requirement for suppliers to lower the standing-charge tariff for customers. Mr Hammond, what are the implications of recovering a greater share of network costs through unit rates rather than a daily flat charge?”

“Mr Johnston, you paint a very positive picture of the ECO programme. I was interested in the way the feedback loop goes via the installers to Ofgem. Is there any difficulty in the installers finding the skills needed to deliver? Is that something you have come across?”

“How do you respond to concerns that financing Ofgem’s debt relief scheme risks shifting it on to the people who are already facing high energy bills and are struggling?”

“How confident are you that Ofgem’s proposed debt relief scheme will adequately support households in Scotland that have unmanageable levels of debt? Ms Mander started to touch on that, but would either of you like to expand a little?”

“Ms Mander and Mr Johnston, I want to ask about the barriers that are preventing households from reducing their energy debt. Once they are in debt, how do they find it?”

“I apologise. Removing the two-child cap is a vital step, and I hope that the Government choose to listen to more Liberal Democrat proposals.”

“It seems that with increasing frequency I stand in this place welcoming Labour U-turns, and today I welcome yet another. The decision to lift the two-child cap is clearly the right moral choice, and it will lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty. For those in Scotland, this is a particularly welcome chan…”

“What focus and impact do you think the final phase of the strategy will have?”

“Is that benefiting Scottish talent and Scottish viewers, or are we attracting people into the area rather than developing people in Scotland?”

“Phase 2 of the BBC's “Across the UK” strategy ended last year. How would you judge your performance against your commitments, and how has the strategy affected the BBC’s operations in Scotland?”
