The reality, as the report observes, is that we could save £8 billion a year for the UK economy if we digitise our energy system and harness those technologies.


Teverson, Robin

I say that with respect, because the task that the Prime Minister has is one of the most difficult that any British Prime Minister has ever faced in modern times:

The Treasury has coined £350 billion from the oil and gas sector, notwithstanding the taxes being paid by those individuals whose employment has been linked to the industry.

Keen, Richard

I acknowledge that, but I would observe that the darkest hour is often just before the dawn.

I sometimes despair at the inability of the Treasury to understand spend to save across departments.


Wheatcroft, Patience

Creasy, Stella Judith

These tenants are paying their rent and they are not at fault, but their rights are being undermined.


Greenwood, Margaret

Grocott, Bruce Joseph

However, I am afraid that, as far as I am concerned, there is not enough information, despite the improvements we have seen

My Lords, we have made our supply chains more resilient by massively expanding both our supply from overseas and our domestic manufacturing capability.


Pugh, John David

Tolhurst, Kelly Jane

Ellwood, Tobias Martin

It is the latter that for years we have tried to appease in the hope that it would mature into a global citizen, and that clearly has not happened.

The noble Lord will know about disallowance, and one of the issues that comes forward is ensuring that we have a much-reduced disallowance situation.

Some of the briefings received in the last few days remind us of the complexity of this legislative area and how easy it is to misunderstand it

Penning, Michael

Wishart, Peter

Friend has a very delicate use of phrase, and I have to say that nothing could be put more elegantly than that.

Edwards, Ruth Rosamond

The vibrant town of West Bridgford in the north of the constituency gives way to rolling countryside and the tranquil waters of the Grantham canal.


Huq, Rupa Asha

Hunt, Philip Alexander

As the noble Baroness, Lady Bertin, said, perpetrators have for too long been ignored and it is those very perpetrators who must change their behaviour—not the victims

Morris, Estelle

I look forward to the debates on the Bills that have been in outlined in the gracious Speech when they are presented to the House of Lords.


Graham, James

Will the Secretary of State join me in complimenting the staff, including the work they do in motivating claimants and improving their self-confidence so that they can seek employment?


Thomas-Symonds, Nicklaus

From the start of the pandemic, the Government’s handling of measures at the border has been chaotic.


Foster, Kevin John

I sometimes comment that we hear from Labour anger but no alternatives, so it is welcome to see solid proposals backing up his speech.


Hamwee, Sally Rachel

My Lords, as regards the bad things in subsection (5), I would feel more comfortable if these were a matter of discretion for the court.


Wheatcroft, Patience

My Lords, I draw attention to my interests in the register as I am chairman of the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions.


Smith, Angela

On education, one of the most depressing announcements in the Budget was the £400 million schools funding for—here I quote the Chancellor—those “little extras”.

Ponsonby, Rupert

Let me read a few extracts from the evidence to the Carr review, to which he referred, to demonstrate why that would be undesirable.

Leadsom, Andrea Jacqueline

At this stage, a chaotic no deal is not a credible threat, since this Government still have the option of bringing the agreement back to Parliament in February or early March.


Clark (Pow), Rebecca Faye

Will the Minister join me in praising and thanking Taunton Welcomes Refugees, which is a model organisation?


Bryant, Christopher John

first, that a strong and exacting Minister can pretty much get away with anything, and secondly, that the Home Secretary is charming, so that is all fine.


Burt, Alistair James Hendrie

As far as the public are concerned, however, this is not an industrial dispute:


Ashton, Thomas

That has been matched by local council funding, which means that more than 173,000 additional homes and businesses are able to access superfast broadband in Norfolk.


Afolami, Abimbola

It is personal and emotional information, which if stolen would be incredibly valuable to criminals or nefarious organisations that may wish to use it for their own purposes.

That point is well illustrated by the fact that even the House of Commons has a loyalty card for tea and coffee.


Bell, Aaron Stuart

There are, though, other issues in respect of the remediation of safety problems.


Field, Mark Christopher

I would obviously be very disturbed to hear if that were not the case.


Chope, Christopher Robert

Meyer, Catherine

Only 15% of abducted children are returned to their country of habitual residence under the terms of the Hague convention 1980.

Kennedy, Roy Francis

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for repeating the Answer to the Question asked in the other place.


Duddridge, James Philip

Although I share those concerns—there are some indications that ethnicity is an increasing factor—we must steer clear of assuming that the whole conflict is racially motivated.


Bruce, Malcolm

It is fair to say that it is not the Minister who has made a liar of himself but the circumstances in which we find ourselves.


Touhig, James Donnelly

There is simply not enough time for training to get to that level of proficiency”.


Wallace, William John Lawrence

There have been what look to be official select leaks saying that actually, the report exonerates everyone regarding Russian money.


Wallace, Robert Ben Lobban

Anelay, Joyce

My Lords, indeed, the EU complements and strengthens NATO, rather than weakens it.


Johnson, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel

We firmly oppose boycotts—the boycott, divestment and sanctions approach—against Israel, as I am sure he does too, although clearly it is a two-way street.


Crabb, Stephen

The welfare cap strengthens accountability and transparency to Parliament—something that simply was not in place under Labour—and we make no apology for this.

Wheeler, Heather Kay

An estimated 1.9 million people in England and Wales suffer from some form of domestic abuse each year, according to crime survey statistics


Jones, Andrew Hanson

I often was that person from head office, and I was not always quite so welcome This should be about local transport needs, not about a national top-down strategy.


Hayes, John Henry

I am certainly not prepared to put at risk the wellbeing of people who need to travel to work and school, and to access other opportunities—public services and so forth.


Cox, Charles Geoffrey

No alternative option now being canvassed in the House would not require the withdrawal agreement and now the backstop.


MacNeil, Angus Brendan

I do not think other countries have the same level of phobic debate that we now have here.


Hammond, Stephen William

—has been truly extraordinary, and the speed at which those programmes were put in place was particularly impressive


Jones, Andrew Hanson

Friend’s point about where that work can be carried out on the Hope Valley line, and I will liaise with Network Rail on that.


Salmond, Alexander Elliot Anderson

I am aware of reports estimating the extraordinary damage that could result from such an occurrence.


Rudd, Amber

We already have robust legislation in place to deal with internet trolls, cyber-stalking, harassment and perpetrators of grossly offensive, obscene or menacing behaviour.


Crawley, Christine Mary

However, as a former Government Whip, I cannot see how this unloved deal will get a majority in the other place.

Huddleston, Nigel Paul

Some passengers believe that we are heading for some kind of tropical paradise, others an icy wasteland.

Dodds, Nigel

That is absolutely right, in the view of our party and the vast majority of the people of Northern Ireland.


Wakeham, John

I think the Government understand this, and I hope proper consideration is being given to the problem of the downsides, as well as the upsides.


Morrow, Maurice

Perhaps he has oversimplified things but, nevertheless, I know he is sincere in what he says in relation to the health service.


Grayling, Christopher Stephen

It might be possible to take the subject to the Backbench Business Committee if his concerns are shared across the House.


Platt, Joanne Marie

The resilience that the people demonstrate astounds me, but there is only so much that people can take.


Storey, Michael John

The Minister looks puzzled, but I was told this by someone this morning.


Heaton-Jones, Peter

Friend the Member for Elmet and Rothwell want to ensure that internships are available as widely as possible and that those from less privileged backgrounds are able to access them.


Chisholm, Caroline

I think that I will have to get back to the noble Lord on that point.


Donaldson, Jeffrey Mark

There have been no arrests in south Armagh in the past few years, despite the fact that a multimillion-pound criminal empire is being operated there by the Provisional IRA.


Throup, Margaret Ann

I add my name to the list of MPs bitterly disappointed at the BBC’s reneging on its 2015 deal.


Grayling, Christopher Stephen

It is also appropriate for me to express my good wishes, because I know that this is a tense and nervous time for the hon.


Loughton, Timothy Paul

Many of the outreach services that went with children centres were more important, and they were not getting out enough.


Evans, Natalie

The remarks from those who knew him tell the same story: of a charming individual who commanded enormous respect for the selfless way he served this country


Eden, Oliver Michael Robert

As my right honourable friend the Minister for Energy made clear in another place this afternoon, she has been engaged in discussions with colleagues in the Welsh Government.


Fall, Catherine

I worry that too often the creation of wealth is seen as a bad thing which only benefits the few.

The Chancellor is banking on increased tax revenues to help fulfil his Budget forecasts.


Mercer, John Luther

Amess, David Anthony Andrew

I would have thought that all Members of Parliament would agree that we should praise the work that they do.


Shannon, Richard James

It is important that we have a clear policy and that everyone flying here and every person here feels assured.


Patten, Christopher Francis

The points that the noble Lord, Lord Hannay, made are really important to the quality and the vitality of our universities, and that is where Brexit is decidedly relevant.


Chisholm, Caroline

As the noble Baroness, Lady Warwick of Undercliffe, mentioned, civil society is a vital part of our society, playing a hugely important role.


Tugendhat, Thomas Georg John

and learned Lady is, I am afraid, picking on a hole in the Bill that is simply not there.


Snape, Peter

Now it is implied that the bus industry, when it was under municipal control, was a picture of tranquil harmony, with lots of satisfied passengers.


Mallalieu, Ann

This House is sometimes said to be a House of experts but the press usually focus on how often a Peer speaks, asks questions or votes.


Streeting, Wesley Paul William

The flimsiness of the Budget Red Book—for once it did not take long to get through—betrays the fragility of our economy.


Manningham-Buller, Elizabeth

We have recently seen attacks that involved few people and were unsophisticated and low-tech, using knives and vans, as well as the shrapnel-packed bomb vest of the Manchester bomber.


Horam, John

In my view it would improve self-regulation and fairness; there would be more order, less embarrassing chaos; and it would be more understandable to the outside world.

It is now becoming far harder to argue that aid does not matter.


Tugendhat, Christopher Samuel

By no means as many companies as I would like provide the time, opportunity and encouragement to their staff to undertake activities of that kind.


Cooke, Alastair

For wholly understandable reasons, we made devolution in Northern Ireland dependent on the willingness of parties with diametrically opposed constitutional objectives to share power together.


Fletcher, Colleen Margaret

Will she look for an opportunity to have a debate in Government time on this really important issue?


Bourne, Nicholas

This is the largest affordable housing programme for 40 years, and social housing can bid into it too, as the noble Lord appreciates.


Altmann, Rosalind

Of course, the buyback improves reported earnings per share and flatters financial statements, but these measures are sometimes used as a yardstick to determine top executives’ pay or bonuses.


Lammy, David Lindon

As weary as we are, I cannot walk through the Lobby and knowingly wave this through with so little scrutiny on behalf of my constituents.


Ahmad, Tariq

It was appalling, and I assure the noble Lord that we are taking it up in the strongest terms.


Sunak, Rishi

He said that the Bill is not sexy, but on the contrary these are the matters that keep local government Ministers, and the hon.


Evans, Natalie

We do not believe that OCR’s decision will have a significant impact, and of course schools will be able to choose from the courses offered by the other exam boards.


Baker, Steven John

The first is whether the Government are seized of the importance of nuclear safeguards, which are an extremely important issue for the House.


Dromey, John Eugene Joseph

She also wrote: “I would be grateful if you could otherwise treat the contents as confidential as any information regarding theoretical weaknesses could alert fraudsters.”

Soubry, Anna Mary

Goodness help us if they ever get into government, because they would undoubtedly cause the most appalling damage, especially to our economy.

Bradley, Karen Anne

This Bill will now look to increase public confidence in Northern Ireland’s political institutions


Judd, Frank Ashcroft
