Speeches

25 Jun 2025 · Armed Forces Recruitment: North-east England · Hansard source

Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate.
4 Jun 2025 · Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories · Hansard source
More
Almost eight months ago, the UN commission of inquiry found that Israel has implemented a concerted effort to dismantle the healthcare system in Gaza, and that the killing and disappearance of healthcare workers amounts to the crime of extermination. UK doctors in Gaza describe it as a “slaughterhouse”. With the growing mountain of evidence detailing war crimes taking place, and our diplomatic efforts being totally ignored by the Israeli Government, it is time to sanction Benjamin Netanyahu and the other murderous figures who are responsible. Words are not enough, so today—here, now, in this Chamber—I would like the Minister to give us a concrete date for when we can expect this Government to impose sanctions.
3 Jun 2025 · Leasehold Reform · Hansard source

I will call Ruth Cadbury to move the motion and then call the Minister to respond. I remind other Members that they may make a speech only with prior permission from the Member in charge of the debate and the Minister. There will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up, as is the convention for 30-minute debates.
3 Jun 2025 · Groceries Code Adjudicator · Hansard source
More
Order. I will now impose an informal four-minute limit. If we run short of time, I will have to impose it formally or reduce it.

I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate.
3 Jun 2025 · Groceries Code Adjudicator · Hansard source
More
I am setting an official time limit of three minutes each.
20 May 2025 · Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories · Hansard source
More
Yesterday, Israel admitted that it allowed only five aid trucks into Gaza for over 2 million people—that is more than Northern Ireland’s entire population. This weaponisation of food is morally reprehensible. We must impose an arms embargo and sanctions on the Israeli officials who are responsible for these heinous crimes: Benjamin Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben-Gvir. I welcome the joint Government statement with Canada and France. Given that time is running out with every moment we stand here talking about this issue, can the Secretary of State clarify the conditions and timeframe for the very firmest of action?
14 May 2025 · Gaza: UK Assessment · Hansard source
More
Slow and agonising breaths, scared, crying, emancipated bodies fighting for every heartbeat—it is death by a thousand cuts for the children and for the parents watching their babies deliberately being starved to death. Almost 1 million children are at risk of famine and death in Gaza. Those who have stood by and allowed this to happen should hang their heads in shame. I call on the Government to sanction Israeli officials until the blockade is lifted, because if we do not act now, this will be on us.
7 May 2025 · Personal Independence Payment: Disabled People · Hansard source
More
Before I call the Minister, I kindly request that he leave Diane Abbott a couple of minutes to have a final closing word.
7 May 2025 · Personal Independence Payment: Disabled People · Hansard source
More
Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. As so many people wish to speak, and I would like to give everyone the opportunity to do so, I will unfortunately have to set a one-and-a-half-minute timer; otherwise, we would simply not be able to get everyone in. I know everyone feels strongly about this issue.
7 May 2025 · Personal Independence Payment: Disabled People · Hansard source
More
I am going to call the final Back-Bench speaker and, following that, Steve Darling.
1 Apr 2025 · Israeli Settlements: West Bank · Hansard source
More
The scenes coming out of Palestine recently have been nothing short of shocking. Hundreds have been killed in settler violence in the west bank, the brutal torture of Palestinians in Israeli custody is commonplace and the collapse of the ceasefire means that the devastation and human suffering in Gaza has simply continued. Will the Secretary of State confirm whether his Department has received any evidence showing that international law has been violated? Will he share such evidence and his assessment openly?
5 Mar 2025 · Jammu and Kashmir: Human Rights · Hansard source
More
I call Tahir Ali.
5 Mar 2025 · Jammu and Kashmir: Human Rights · Hansard source

Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called.
5 Mar 2025 · Jammu and Kashmir: Human Rights · Hansard source

Order. As so many Members wish to speak, I suggest that we stick to four-minute speeches where possible, please.
5 Mar 2025 · Jammu and Kashmir: Human Rights · Hansard source

I have been promoted!
5 Mar 2025 · Jammu and Kashmir: Human Rights · Hansard source
More
Order. I remind hon. Members that because so many want to speak in this important debate, we need to stick to four-minute speeches and keep interventions to a minimum.
3 Mar 2025 · Topical Questions · Hansard source
More
T6. Far too many renters get a terrible deal, living in cold, mouldy substandard homes and being charged eye-watering rents by landlords. I am proud of this Government’s Renters’ Rights Bill, but while legislation is welcome, too many are still paying extortionate prices for really shoddy properties. Can the Secretary of State assure me that the Government are taking more steps to make renting affordable again?
3 Mar 2025 · Ukraine · Hansard source
More
I congratulate the Prime Minister on bringing European leaders together at the weekend and on setting the record straight with J. D. Vance on the issue of free speech. President Zelensky is resilient and brave, just like the nation that he represents. In the second week of the war, when I went to Ukraine with my medical team, we could see at first hand that there is absolutely nothing that the Russians will not do. Will the Prime Minister promise that our support will not waver, and that he will continue working closely with our European allies to make sure that we bring about peace in Ukraine?

Q6. We have heard extraordinary rhetoric coming out of Washington in recent days and we have seen fascist salutes on our screens. We have witnessed wild statements about Palestinians being expelled from Gaza, and we have seen our allies labelled “dictators”. Britain’s interests are best served by standing with Ukraine, working closely with our European allies, upholding international law and remaining a strong part of NATO. Will the Prime Minister assure us that this will form a central part of his message when he meets world leaders this week?
13 Feb 2025 · HIV Testing Week · Hansard source
More
In order to get all Members to speak in this important debate, I gently suggest a time limit of three and a half minutes.
13 Feb 2025 · HIV Testing Week · Hansard source
More
I remind Members that they should bob—as they are doing—if they wish to be called in the debate. Given the number of Members who wish to speak, and to ensure that everybody gets to say what they wish to, I suggest an approximate time limit of five minutes. We will move to the Front-Bench spokespeople at about 2.28 pm. I call Jim Dickson.
11 Feb 2025 · Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Travel Advice · Hansard source
More
Order.
11 Feb 2025 · Youth Provision: Universal and Targeted Support · Hansard source
More
I will call Harpreet Uppal to move the motion and I will then call the Minister to respond. There will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up, as is the convention for 30-minute debates. There will be no other speeches, but Members can intervene briefly.
11 Feb 2025 · Employer National Insurance Contributions: Police Forces · Hansard source
More
I call Esther McVey to wind up the debate.
