Gareth Davies MP: speeches

4 Jul 2025–3 Jul 2026

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.

Speeches

  • 2 Jul 2026 · Supply Chain Security · Hansard source
    More

    I am grateful for that very comprehensive answer to a very different question—less of an answer, more of an interpretive dance.

  • 15 Apr 2026 · Draft Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements (Amendment) Regulations 2026 · Hansard source
    More

    Apologies.

  • 12 Mar 2026 · Start-ups and Scale-ups: Access to New Markets · Hansard source
    More

    We all want innovative British companies not just to start up in Britain, but to scale up in Britain, too. I welcome the Minister’s previous comments, and actually his enthusiasm, for our most innovative companies. However, he will know that the Chancellor’s decision to cut venture capital trust rate relief will be very damaging. How does he explain the disconnect between his Department’s words and what the Chancellor is doing?

    More

    I totally understand that the Minister might not have the information to hand right now, so will she commit to writing to me?

  • 29 Jan 2026 · Encouraging Exports · Hansard source
    More

    I thank the Minister for that response. This is an area that we genuinely agree on. Digital payment technology will genuinely provide an opportunity for British exporters, so I gently ask the Minister to get on top of the detail on that taskforce and provide an update as soon as he can. We asked DBT Ministers last June exactly what the Government’s strategy on digital payment technology was. We were promised that it would be part of the industrial strategy, but it was missing. Can he explain why?

  • 12 Jan 2026 · Finance (No. 2) Bill · Hansard source
    More

    I wish to speak, on behalf of the official Opposition, to new clauses 10 to 12, which are in my name, but first, I want to set the scene on clauses 1 to 8.

  • 2 Sept 2025 · Speciality Steel UK: Insolvency · Hansard source
    More

    I am, Mr Speaker. Although I have lots of questions, I will ask just two very quick ones, if that is okay.
