“8. What assessment the Church has made of the potential merits of implementing an independent safeguarding process.”

“I thank the hon. Lady for that answer. Horribly and tragically, one of my constituents was a victim of abuse in the Church of England. We must never forget that there are victims and survivors involved here, and they were dismayed when earlier this year the Church of England’s governing body rejected a fully independen…”

“Never mind the environmental impacts, what people also often get very worried about is the visual impact of the landscape transformation. Some time ago, there were academics who were working on landscape transformation and how you can visually mitigate some impact. Do you talk to these guys? I have some contacts that I…”

“Do you worry that it will limit capacity? Will it limit the market in terms of coming in and building out or proposing projects because they are currently not in the plan, or not in the optimal areas? We might end up having less renewable energy than we need or than the Government hope is going to be developed by 2030.…”

“Welcome. Thank you for coming in front of our panel. We have heard from industry that the endorsement of the strategic spatial energy plan in the national policy statements could dilute market-led developments for energy infrastructure. Do you agree that this relationship needs to be clearer?”

“Q15. A month ago, I was denied entry into Hong Kong on a private visit. In the absence of any explanation, this seems to hint at a hidden blacklist aimed to silence any MP from any political party who speaks up against human rights abuses by the Chinese Government. Does the Prime Minister agree that this is an attack o…”

“Order. I think we have heard both sides very well, loudly and clearly. We need to push on because we have been discussing this one amendment for nearly half an hour. It is important that we now come to a decision. Question put, That the amendment be made.”

“I recognise the vital importance of the aviation sector, but any airport expansion —including at Bristol airport—should reflect the cumulative impact of emissions and our legal commitment to net zero. Does the Minister support the Climate Change Committee’s advice, published last year, that no airport expansion should …”

“Julian House is a homelessness charity that has been operating in Bath for nearly 40 years. Its lease is ending next year, and, with no route to capital or long-term funding, it faces closure.

“Order. May I remind the hon. Gentleman that his time is limited?”

“Order. I call the shadow Minister.”

“We have 60 minutes.”

“I remind Members that they should be bob if they wish to be called in the debate. I wish to call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson at 5.8 pm, so I am imposing an immediate time limit of two and a half minutes.”
