Oral Answers to Questions

Liz Saville Roberts Excerpts

Wednesday 3rd June 2026 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this case and express my sincere condolences to Holly’s family. I cannot begin to imagine the intense distress that they have experienced. My hon. Friend will know that the ambassador to France has raised Holly’s case with the French prosecutor general, and I know that the Minister for Europe, my hon. Friend the Member for Cardiff South and Penarth (Stephen Doughty), has set out further steps that can be taken and is ready to support the family. In the light of his question, I will reflect on whether anything more can be done.

[Liz Saville Roberts (Dwyfor Meirionnydd) (PC)]

Q2. Last month, Welsh voters elected a Plaid Cymru Government with a clear message: fairness and hope. That means tackling years of neglect by securing funding owed from High Speed 2, a new financial settlement that reflects our nation’s needs and more powers for Wales—especially over our natural resources. Would the Prime Minister be open to turning a conversation into real action to fulfil the democratic wishes of the people of Wales? Now, surely, is a time for us to work together rather than facing the chaos that threatens us from every corner.

[The Prime Minister]

I thank the right hon. Member for her question. As I hope she knows, I did have a call with the First Minister of Wales just two weeks ago, and made it clear that I and this Government will work constructively with the First Minister and the Government in Wales, because that is the right thing to do to deliver for Wales.
