Lord Dodds of Duncairn: ...DUP that will interpret those tests. As someone referred to previously in the debate, one of the problems we have in this entire situation is the gross overselling of the Windsor Framework by Rishi Sunak. Of course, he attempted to tell us what was in the seven tests and how they were fulfilled. It is a great pleasure to support the regret Motion in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady...
Yvette Cooper: ...were lower than the Migration Advisory Committee originally proposed, and to not update them for years. As Chancellor and then as Prime Minister, the right hon. Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Rishi Sunak) repeatedly blocked proposals to tighten the rules, including in May this year, and including when the Government refused Labour’s calls to end the unfair 20% discount. They repeatedly...
Shona Robison: What Douglas Ross did not refer to was the fact that the poll found that 72 per cent were dissatisfied with Rishi Sunak’s performance as Prime Minister and that 54 per cent of people support independence for Scotland. Michael Matheson is getting on with the job of being health secretary ahead of what is expected to be a challenging winter for the health service. If Douglas Ross cared at all...
Lord Londesborough: ...year than we will spend on the Department for Education’s entire budget. We are still waiting for per-pupil funding to return to 2010 levels, in real terms—a pledge, incidentally, that Rishi Sunak made several years ago as Chancellor. We now have 9 million adults in England who have low basic literacy and numeracy skills. That is a huge productivity blocker in itself. At the other end...

Rishi Sunak: This morning, I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have other such meetings later today.
Patrick Harvie: ...plans to cope with what people can realistically afford—but look through the implications of the UK Government climbdown on climate a couple of months ago. Some of the direct impacts from Rishi Sunak’s bizarre speech announcing the scrapping of climate action will be felt more significantly in England. However, we already see the UK slipping down the league table of green investment,...
Rishi Sunak: Searches by my Office have not identified such correspondence. If the hon. Member would like to provide a copy, my Office will arrange for a reply to be sent.
Lord Collins of Highbury: .... To their credit, David Cameron and George Osborne sustained that commitment, keeping Britain on the path to 0.7% that Labour had set this country on. However, under the direction of Rishi Sunak, this Government retreated from Britain’s commitments, cutting our development target from 0.7% to 0.5%, and stripped billions from vital aid programmes in that process. I have repeatedly said...
Gareth Davies: ...offer amrywiol nad ydynt yn addas ar gyfer gwasanaeth iechyd yn yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Ar ôl yr uwchgynhadledd ar ddiogelwch deallusrwydd artiffisial, a gadeiriwyd gan ein Prif Weinidog, Rishi Sunak, mae'n bwysig ein bod yn cydnabod peryglon posibl deallusrwydd artiffisial a phwysigrwydd cyfrifoldeb y llywodraeth i liniaru effeithiau niweidiol deallusrwydd artiffisial.

Rishi Sunak: I know the thoughts of the whole House will be with the families and friends of the four teenagers who died in a car accident in north Wales. I am sure we will touch on it later, but let me just say that we welcome the agreement reached overnight for a humanitarian pause in Gaza. This is something that we have pushed for consistently and is a crucial step towards ending the nightmare for the...
Lord Vaizey of Didcot: ...was joining your Lordships’ House, I had a bitter-sweet reaction: I was overjoyed that he was joining our House, but I was then fed up with the endless WhatsApps from people asking why Rishi Sunak had not asked me to join his Government. Normally, this House sits out the heady 24 hours of a reshuffle. My noble friend is joining an absolutely first-class Front Bench. I said to my noble...
Ross Greer: ...face of Israel’s equally outrageous and equally blatant war crimes, we get silence, equivocation or worse. Keir Starmer defended the criminal act of cutting off water and power to Gaza, and Rishi Sunak told Netanyahu, “we want you to win.” We know what the Israeli Government thinks victory looks like—it is telling us: the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and the...
Lord Alton of Liverpool: .... AI is a tool that the CCP will share with other authoritarian states, enabling them to impose iron-fist control of their citizens. I particularly applaud the initiative that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has taken in trying to get a global response to this, but this use of AI will doubtless aid and abet spying with Chinese characteristics, even here in the heart of our democracy. I draw...

Roedd yr holl arian a wariwyd ar helpu pobl i roi'r gorau i ysmygu yn arian a wariwyd yn dda, am mai ysmygu yw prif achos marwolaeth gynnar o hyd, ond bydd bwriadau da Rishi Sunak i godi'r oedran cyfreithiol i unrhyw un brynu sigaréts fel na fydd unrhyw berson ifanc sy'n 14 oed ar hyn o bryd byth yn gallu prynu sigarét yn gyfreithlon yn bilsen chwerwfelys os nad...
Rishi Sunak: At the start of the year, I made halving inflation my No.1 priority. Today, we have delivered on that commitment. There remains more to do, but this is a strong step forward. Also this morning, the Supreme Court gave a judgment on the Rwanda plan. It confirmed that the principle of removing asylum seekers to a safe third country is lawful. There are further elements that it wants additional...
Rishi Sunak: I am sure that my hon. Friend will be delighted that the west midlands now tops regional rankings for foreign direct investment. The Government are investing significantly in the region, including through hundreds of millions of pounds of levelling-up fund and towns fund investments, and introducing a new pilot scheme to help businesses in the region become more energy efficient.
Rishi Sunak: I share my hon. Friend’s disappointment with the Labour-run council in Kirklees. Just this week we saw a Labour councillor suspended for antisemitism. As he said, it has also closed Dewsbury sports centre and is proposing to increase car parking charges, punishing local businesses and shoppers in the run-up to Christmas. Clearly, the council is no longer fit for purpose. Local residents...
