North-West Syria

Debate between Calvin Bailey and Nusrat Ghani

Monday 2nd December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Order. The best thing would be to ask for the question in writing so that the Minister can respond—I have done it on your behalf, Minister.

[Mr Calvin Bailey (Leyton and Wanstead) (Lab)]

I would try to repeat the question, but I did not catch it myself.

I hope that it is recognised how interconnected the conflicts are in the region, which includes connections to Russia, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and even further afield. This escalation creates serious risks not only for the population of the immediate area, but for regional stability. How can we recognise that in our security and diplomatic policy? What measures are the Government taking to look at this collective series of risks that are increasingly interconnected?

Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Calvin Bailey and Nusrat Ghani

Monday 9th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

I call Calvin Bailey.

[Mr Calvin Bailey (Leyton and Wanstead) (Lab)]

Apologies, Madam Deputy Speaker; I was not expecting to be called so soon.

I thank the Secretary of State for her focus on T-levels and her recognition of the need for a pause. I back up what my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton North East (Mrs Brackenridge) said about the botched nature of the T-level roll-out. Does the Secretary of State recognise that it is a challenge for many services, such as the NHS, to absorb T-level students effectively? Those qualifications need truly to give our young people the opportunities they deserve. Will she meet me and local further education experts to discuss this issue?
