Richard Quigley 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.

Speeches

  • 12 Jun 2025 · Support for Entrepreneurs · Hansard source

    3. What steps his Department is taking to support entrepreneurs.

  • 19 May 2025 · Gender Self-identification · Hansard source
    More

    I agree entirely. As we have seen many times over the last 14 years, words matter. Ultimately, the petition before us is rooted in compassion, dignity and basic respect—principles that are unmistakably British. Respect for others, fairness and standing up for the vulnerable are values in which we rightly take pride. I hope that we can all agree on the simple truth that trans people are not the enemy and that the power we hold in this place must be used to uplift, not to vilify. My message to all of us here today is that we should not lose sight of that responsibility.

  • 15 May 2025 · Youth Services · Hansard source
    More

    Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the fact that the Conservative Benches are empty reflects the conscious choice they made to underfund youth services, which is why many of us find our youth services in this position?

  • 7 Mar 2025 · Protection of Children (Digital Safety and Data Protection) Bill · Hansard source
    More

    I come to this debate as somebody who bought their first mobile phone 30 years ago, at the age of 23—I was hoping Members would look more surprised at that. [ Laughter. ]

  • 15 Jan 2025 · Foot and Mouth Disease · Hansard source
    More

    Will the Minister confirm what mitigation funding has been made available for farms that may be affected? Will he commit to look urgently at the provision of an abattoir on the Isle of Wight, because we do not currently have one?

  • 17 Oct 2024 · International Investment Summit · Hansard source
    More

    Does the hon. Member agree that he is now guilty of talking down the entrepreneurial spirit and the ability of UK companies to cope with an exciting new Government?

  • 8 Oct 2024 · VAT: Independent Schools · Hansard source
    More

    Listening to the Conservatives and the amount of fearmongering they do, one might think that a previous Government had totally trashed the state sector; I think that is quite obvious.
