Peter Swallow MP: speeches

4 Jul 2026–16 Oct 2026 · year in progress

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

  • 9 Sept 2026 · Youth Parliament: Government Support · Hansard source
    More

    Absolutely, and that is a theme to which I will return. Investing in young people is so important, not only for empowering them but for the skills and experience we need in the economy, so that young people can go on to get good jobs and support their local communities. That is exactly why I have always championed everything we can do to empower young people at the earliest age.

  • 8 Sept 2026 · Business Rates: Hospitality Sector · Hansard source
    More

    I recently stopped by the wonderful Koh-I-Noor Indian restaurant in Priestwood to meet its owner, Kamran, and to speak about the realities of running a family-owned restaurant. He told me how rising costs were making it challenging for him to invest and grow his business. I genuinely welcome the Chancellor’s action on cutting business rates for pubs and music venues ahead of the Budget, but will the Minister look at what more he can do to support the hospitality and retail businesses at the heart of our local communities?

    More

    18. What discussions he has had with representatives of hospitality businesses on the potential impact of business rates relief on the sector.

  • 9 Jul 2026 · Israeli Settlements: Trade Ban · Hansard source
    More

    The shadow Minister says that Israel is a critical ally. Is it not possible ever to be critical of one’s allies in return?
