Susan Murray: ...; they want to vote positively for things. Thomas Muir of Huntershill in Bishopbriggs was a famous son of Mid Dunbartonshire. At the end of the 18th century, he was a strenuous advocate of equal representation of the people in the House of the people, where I stand today. He said: “I have devoted myself to the cause of the people. It is a good cause. It shall ultimately prevail. It shall...
Lord Whitty: ...consumers, whom we have talked about. I have also been a consumer champion. We have never seen a strong consumer organisation for the railways. Transport Focus does its best, but we need to have a representation of the voice of consumers in the future of the railways that is properly financed and supported by the industry and the Government. At the moment, all that consumers are left to do...
Ayoub Khan: ...killed? I also join the Prime Minister in relation to the release of hostages—all hostages, including the children who are held in Israeli detention centres without charge and without any legal representation. Given what he said in relation to self-defence, which is a moot point, is he stating to the House that all offensive weapons are banned and that only defensive weapons are being...
Emma Little-Pengelly: I thank the Member for her important question. I have listened to representations on the issue from her, MPs and MLAs and from the agri-food, farming and hospitality sectors. Those jobs are essential. The Northern Ireland farming sector is a net contributor and supplies 10 million people across the UK, which is well above our population. It is really important and really valuable. However, it...
Emma Little-Pengelly: The annual racial equality indicators report monitors the progress of the racial equality strategy 2015-2025 on four key outcome areas: equality of service provision; increased participation, representation and belonging; celebration of cultural diversity; and eliminating prejudice, racism and hate crime. The most recent report, which was released on 19 September, showed that, compared with...
John O'Dowd: ...ensure successful outcomes through the planning processes." In making my decision, I considered the PAC's final advisory report from the public inquiries that were held in 2016, 2020 and 2023; all representations that were made, including landowners' concerns; all advice that was received from public authorities; all environmental information; the results of transboundary consultations;...
Christine Grahame: ...being built month after month. Pressures on nurseries, schools and medical practices—let alone roads—can only get worse. I hear what the minister has said and I ask her, in her representations with COSLA and so on, to suggest that Midlothian is a special case, given the population explosion in the area.
Bob Doris: ...the Taliban completely. The closure of the embassy will have a detrimental impact on many families who have made their lives and homes in Scotland. Will the First Minister make direct representations to the UK Government to see how it might be able to support the reopening of the embassy and, with it, the restoration of consular services?
John Swinney: ...financial mechanism was crucial in enabling the affordable housing programme to be sustained at the previous level, and it has largely accounted for the falls in available investment. We have made representations to the UK Government—I have raised the issue with the chancellor and the Deputy Prime Minister—to secure a change to that approach. We will get the answer to that point in the...
Alison Johnstone: ...of the Police (Ethics, Conduct and Scrutiny) (Scotland) Bill at stage 2 be completed by 11 October 2024. That the Parliament agrees that consideration of the Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Bill at stage 2 be completed by 15 November 2024.—[Jamie Hepburn] Motions agreed to.
Lord Naseby: To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the European Union to increase the allowance under its visa-waiver policy to allow UK citizens working for UK-based hauliers to remain in the Schengen Area for more than 90 days in any 180-day period.
Sammy Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has made recent representations to his Venezuelan counterpart on taking steps to allow a democratic and peaceful transition following the recent presidential election in that country.
Neil Gray: I thank Miles Briggs for his on-going interest in the issue and the representation that he and others in the chamber are providing on it to their constituents, who I was able to hear directly from at a previous meeting in the Parliament, as well as this morning at the eye pavilion. At the outset, I stress that everything that NHS Lothian is doing with regard to providing the...
Baroness Neville-Rolfe: ...what assessment they have made regarding whether the third stage of the Border Operating Model is on schedule to operate effectively and efficiently and without causing disruption; and what representations they have received from businesses on the third stage commencement and implementation of the Border Operating Model.
Stephen Dunne: ...about small businesses on the move and highlighted the deterioration in service in some areas over the past number of years. That is an important point, and we urge the Minister to continue to make representations to the industry about those areas where we have seen a reduction in service, because that is not something that we should be seeing happen. We have had a useful debate. I welcome...
Kellie Armstrong: ..., the jobs of each of us depend on them. The more people who vote, the better Northern Ireland can be. In fact, this morning, I heard that, when the franchise changes, society improves through more representation. Unless Members think that our young people are not good enough and are not as good as Scottish and Welsh young people, why would they vote against the motion? I appreciate that...
Conor Murphy: ...before and during the consultation. I welcome the constructive engagement to date. The consultation covers four key aspects of a good job: terms of employment; pay and benefits; voice and representation; and work-life balance. Stakeholder responses to the consultation will help to inform the content of my Bill. I encourage everyone with an interest in that important issue to respond to the...
Michelle O'Neill: ...is a collective Executive strategy, and we are all focused on working together on it. The oversight board will be chaired at ministerial level, and the board will be cross-sectoral, with inclusive representation from across government, including local government, and from the community and voluntary sector and independent experts. We also have governance in place and will monitor the...
