Laurence Turner 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

  • 7 Jul 2025 · Government Performance against Fiscal Rules · Hansard source
    More

    In the context of spending decisions taken by the Johnson Government, the last Conservative Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, told the Transport Committee last week: “A lot of promises were made to MPs and others as to the ambition, but it did not match the amount that was actually being set down.” He went on to say: “By the time I came into post I ended up with a list that was much longer than could be funded.” Does the Chief Secretary share my anger at the way that the Conservative party tried to take all our constituents for fools?

  • 7 Jul 2025 · Actions of Iranian Regime: UK Response · Hansard source
    More

    Like many Members, I have constituents who are stranded in Iran. We have all heard what the Minister has told the House this afternoon, and I know that he takes the safety of British nationals overseas extremely seriously. Will he assure the House that all practical steps are being taken to extend consular support, which is currently being frustrated and denied by the Iranian regime?
