“I am sure that residents in Gwallon Keas in my constituency are incredibly grateful to my honourable Friend for securing this debate, as am I. Does he agree that this is not just taxation by stealth, but an unsung privatisation by stealth o…”
“What would be the honourable Gentleman’s answer to filling that massive fiscal black hole that we were left with?…”
“SEND provision is a fraught and highly emotional issue, because of the stakes at play: education, inclusion and, above all, dignity. I am pleased to see so many colleagues here from across the House, with the exception of only a couple of p…”
“Q13. Some 95% of the food that we import from non-EU countries has lower welfare standards than that produced by British farmers, costing us millions and putting worse food on our plates. The Labour Rural Research Group will shortly launch …”
“I was delighted to see the Eden Project’s recent report, which shone a light on the nearly £7 billion-worth of positive impact it has drawn into the Cornish economy and our community over the past 25 years. Will the Leader of the House work…”
“There has been a huge amount of progress towards what a good devolution settlement for Cornwall should look like, but it is also increasingly evident since Storm Goretti that part of that deal has to be infrastructure resilience. I really w…”
