Gaza and Humanitarian Aid

Westminster Hall debates

I congratulate the Minister on making his maiden address. Can he reflect on the verb that he used? He said that we have been “asking” Israel to do those three things. He then went on...

Gaza and Humanitarian Aid

Westminster Hall debates

As politicians, we talk of the international rules-based system, by which we mean the World Trade Organisation and the United Nations, but often we do so only when it suits our position. When it...

Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage

Commons debates

I had rather hoped that my right hon. Friend was going to start his statement by saying, “As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted—”. I have waited so long to hear a...

Commons debates

On the penultimate day of the last Labour Government, the then Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, created the marine protected area around the British Indian Ocean Territory. At that time, it was...

Building Safety and Resilience

Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 Report

Commons debates

I do not think I have ever heard my right hon. and learned Friend speak more powerfully, more personally or more movingly than he did in this statement. I know that the more than 20,000 residents...

Making Britain a Clean Energy Superpower

Commons debates

The hon. Lady is being generous in giving way. On the issue of undergrounding power lines, although that may in some cases be necessary for communities, does she not accept, given that it is 10...

Making Britain a Clean Energy Superpower

Commons debates

The right hon. Lady said that Members should not quote only from sources that they feel are friendly to them, so I will not quote from the International Energy Association, but perhaps she might...

Making Britain a Clean Energy Superpower

Commons debates

My hon. Friend, very importantly, mentioned the role that carbon capture, usage and storage has to play in the decarbonisation of our economy. I am sure he will have seen the latest National...

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for her response. She will know that the reason for the 1 August deadline is to show our intent for the UK to be back out there at the forefront of this debate,...

Convention on Biological Diversity

Commons debates

I am delighted to have given way to the hon. Gentleman, who makes a fair and important point. The way that we are incentivising farmers and land managers, and the financial resources that we put...

Convention on Biological Diversity

May I add my voice to the concatenation across this House welcoming you to your new role, Madam Deputy Speaker? I also welcome my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry East (Mary Creagh) back to...

Economy, Welfare and Public Services

Commons debates

I heartily applaud what my right hon. Friend is saying about the renewed windfall tax. Will she also look at the fact that, in this country, we have the lowest basic rate of tax on oil and gas...

Israel and Gaza

Commons debates

My right hon. Friend was absolutely right to speak of the need for an immediate ceasefire and the need to restore funding to UNRWA. I welcome both those moves. He also spoke of the...

Covid-19 Inquiry

Commons debates

The Minister spoke of resilience. He is aware that Northwick Park hospital in my constituency was the epicentre at the start of the pandemic, and the lack of resilience meant that nurses there...

[1st Day]

Debate on the Address

Barry Gardiner made a speech in the House of Commons

Could the hon. Gentleman explain to the House why the SNP Government in Scotland, who have the power to do that, have not?

Biodiversity Loss - [Christina Rees in the Chair]

Westminster Hall debates

I absolutely agree with what the hon. Lady is saying. She mentions COP16. Later this year, the world will meet in Colombia for the biodiversity conference, which is of critical importance. She...
