Speeches by Murray.

“How much commercial funding do you need to deliver the Games? How much have you raised so far, or had promises on?”

“Do you have any guidelines on what you will accept as sponsorship, for example in terms of the nutritional value of a food supplier? On the one hand we are selling public benefit and health benefits, and on the other you absolutely need to find sponsorship to support the Games. How do you look at any company that offer…”

“I notice that you have an intention to make sure that people who can get the most out of volunteering are selected for it. How are you going to do that?”

“I must say that my constituency of Mid Dunbartonshire neighbours the village centre that you are talking about, and my constituents are visitors and regular attenders. I remember coming up to the last Commonwealth Games, the whole city was given a spruce-up; there did not seem to be one park railing that had not been p…”

“Will there be expenditure by the council and Glasgow Life that is specifically related to the Commonwealth Games?”

“What has delivering the event without public funding meant that you cannot deliver? What more would you have liked to deliver?”

“How much commercial funding do you need to deliver the Games? How much have you raised so far, or had promises on?”

“Do you have any guidelines on what you will accept as sponsorship, for example in terms of the nutritional value of a food supplier?

“Q9. Calithea Studios in Mid Dunbartonshire is a prime example of a business doing everything the Government ask. The owner of this beauty salon and her three employees each earn less than £30,000 a year, yet the business will pay the Government over £36,000 for the year in VAT, employer’s national insurance and pension…”

“I thank the right hon. and hon. Members who secured the debate, as well as those who have shared their story. Every Member here agrees that the tragedy of losing a child is one of the greatest anyone can face, yet sadly it is all too common an experience; nearly half the population has either experienced the loss of a …”

“I completely agree with that principle, but our systems are not always designed with it in mind. Delays in death certification, the coronial process and registration services frequently mean that families are unable to bury their loved ones within the required timescale. Some local authorities have taken steps to impro…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the provision of religious crematoria. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Murrison. I am grateful to have secured this important debate on the provision of religious crematoriums and the access issues faced by faith communities across our country. At its hea…”

“I think we have a difference in how we look at Lords amendment 1. It does not water down the Bill; it adds more flexibility so that people get the opportunity to have the kind of employment that works for them. That is particularly important in an environment where we are trying to get people off disability benefits an…”

“My husband suffered a catastrophic brain haemorrhage, which meant that he could not return to his work, but after he began to recover, he started to work again in another job, helped by a zero-hours contract. It meant that if he was not well enough to work, he could agree with his employer that his hours could be adjus…”

“T3. Just over a week ago, nearly 1,000 peaceful protesters, including priests and pensioners, were arrested in a single day for opposing the ban on Palestine Action, yet over the weekend, at the Unite the Kingdom protest, 26 police officers were injured and 25 arrests were made. Does the Home Secretary agree with my co…”

“With the development of electric arc furnaces and this potential project, how do we stand in the international competition stakes? Are we competitive?”

“It has already been said that the cost of energy in the UK puts us in a position that is not competitive in that area.”

“I hardly need to ask this, but I am going to ask you to put it on the record. Do you agree with the community’s assessment of the mill’s strategic importance and the investment needs?”

“As Scotland sees an increase in oil and gas decommissioning, there is going to be all that scrap steel. How well equipped are we to be able to process that scrap steel?”
