  April 23, 2026
  I support this clause quite strongly. We heard powerfully from Claire Throssell in oral evidence how important its impact could be. Most Members will have experiences like mine through casework…

  April 21, 2026

  April 16, 2026

  April 16, 2026
  On a point of order, Dr Huq. I alerted the Minister earlier to the fact that I was going to say this. I want to ask what can be done […]

  April 16, 2026
