Angus MacDonald MP: speeches

4 Jul 2024–3 Jul 2025

How these years work

Our reporting years run from 4 July to 3 July, starting with the 2024 general election. They are not official parliamentary sessions. Office costs keep IPSA’s April–March financial years. Records may cover only part of a year; a missing record does not mean no work was done.

    As we speak, there is a massive fire south of Inverness. All around that fire are the gamekeepers in that area. It is they who are controlling that fire, but they do not own that land. The heather has been allowed to grow long, lank and uncontrolled. Does the hon. Lady agree that gamekeepers play an important role in stopping fires on moorlands?

    I wonder whether the Minister can persuade the Chancellor to leave her constituency of Leeds West and Pudsey and explore the reaches of rural Britain. It strikes me that a lot of these issues are due to funding and the fact that rural Britain is substantially underfunded, compared with urban Britain.

  • 5 Feb 2025 · Closure of High Street Services: Rural Areas · Hansard source

    Will the Minister allow me to intervene?

  • 30 Jan 2025 · Finance Bill (Third sitting) · Hansard source

    I beg to move amendment 66, in clause 63, page 68, line 10, leave out “£32.79” and insert “£31.64”.

    May I intervene?

  • 13 Jan 2025 · Hospice and Palliative Care · Hansard source
    More

    What does the hon. Member think about the many hospices that do not need the capital but are desperate for the income? I would be interested in his answer.

  • 13 Nov 2024 · Rural Broadband · Hansard source

    Will the Minister give way?

  • 13 Nov 2024 · Rural Broadband · Hansard source
    More

    The £500 million set aside for the shared rural network was instigated by the previous Government. In the highlands of Scotland, it is organised by land mass, rather than the geographic concentration of people. If the Minister wants to find £300 million or £400 million of that to help with the roll-out of broadband, he can feel free, because it is very unpopular where we are and it is not serving the needs of the people.
