Speech in Commons Chamber - Thu 23 May 2024
Business of the House

"I have been contacted today by Action on Smoking and Health, which does important work on curbing the harms of smoking and vaping. Like me, it is perplexed and very disappointed that the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will apparently not progress because it is not included in the wash-up. I …..."

Holocaust Memorial Bill

"I am glad to be able to contribute today on behalf of my party on this important Bill, albeit that the Bill seeks specifically to build in London, far from my own constituency and far from Scotland. It is also, significantly, a planning-related issue. For both those reasons, I would …..."

Women’s State Pension Age: Ombudsman Report

"Does my right hon. Friend not think that that was, regrettably, typical of the attitude of this UK Government to the WASPI women? The Government hope that they will simply go away if they are ignored. That is heaping insult on indignity, and it is wholly unacceptable. The lives of …..."

Tobacco and Vapes Bill (Seventh sitting)

"As we have heard, part 2 of the Bill relates specifically to Scotland and clauses 39 and 40 repeal particular offences.
