Lord Collins of Highbury: ...rescue plan, involving international partners, civil society and business? As the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, said, we had a political consensus around development. Sadly, under the direction of Rishi Sunak, we have seen the development target cut from 0.7% to 0.5%. It is not just the size of those cuts but the speed of their implementation that caused so much damage to people who most needed...
Baroness Goudie: ...development, particularly by upholding Britain’s commitment to the 0.7% target set by the Labour Government. However, the recent decision by the Government, under the direction of Prime Minister Sunak, to reduce the development target to 0.5% and slash funding from vital aid programmes is deeply concerning. Such actions are counterproductive if our aim is to address vulnerabilities and...
Rebecca Evans: ...i godi incwm, fel bod awdurdodau ledled Cymru yn cael eu trin yn deg ac yn gyfartal. A chefais fy atgoffa, gan fod cyd-Aelodau ar feinciau'r Ceidwadwyr yn siarad yn y ddadl y prynhawn yma, o Rishi Sunak, pan gafodd ei ddal ar gamera yn dweud ei fod am drosglwyddo cyllid o ardaloedd difreintiedig, ac ymddengys fod ar y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig eisiau gwneud yr un peth. Mae rhaglen waith barhaus i...
Lord Woolley of Woodford: ...and with us from the 1970s to come here, collectively, and sincerely apologise. They include John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. We need a collective, heartfelt apology for the damage caused, before it is too late.
Rishi Sunak: I know the thoughts of the whole House will be with the friends and families of Lord Cormack and Ronnie Campbell. They were dedicated parliamentarians. This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I will have further such meetings later today.
Delyth Jewell: ...yn ddatblygiad i'w groesawu, dwi'n meddwl. Clywsom ddoe y bydd Llywodraeth San Steffan yn arallgyfeirio'r arian a glustnodwyd ar gyfer HS2 i ardaloedd canolbarth a gogledd Lloegr, ond soniodd Rishi Sunak ddim gair am y £4 biliwn sy'n ddyledus i Gymru fel canlyniad i'r darnau o HS2 sydd heb eu canslo. Am siom, Llywydd, ond dim un oedd yn annisgwyl, dwi'n siŵr y byddech chi'n cytuno,...
Buffy Williams: Yn wahanol i Rishi Sunak yn cymryd clod am brif reilffordd wedi'i thrydaneiddio gogledd Cymru, gyda chefnogaeth £1 biliwn nad oes neb wedi ei weld, mae trawsnewid rheilffordd Treherbert yn Rhondda yn gwneud cynnydd gwirioneddol gyda chefnogaeth ariannol go iawn. Mae trydaneiddio, seilwaith, uwchraddio gorsafoedd a deuoli'r rheilffordd mewn rhannau dros y naw mis diwethaf yn golygu y gall...
Daniel Johnson: ..., given that this is its penultimate budget, increasingly out of time. The reality is that Scottish taxpayers are being failed by two Governments. The Tories are ushering in a recession under Rishi Sunak, and the SNP is presiding over 17 years of cuts, which is leaving every institution in Scotland weaker and impoverished after its time in government. Perhaps the most interesting and most...
Rishi Sunak: On 5 December 2023, the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament published their report entitled ‘International Partnerships’. The UK's international intelligence alliances are fundamental to the work of the Government and we are grateful to the Committee for devoting time and attention to this subject. Today, the Government is publishing its response to this report. Copies of...
Lord Sikka: ...be taxed, and at what rate, to shape what kind of society. Special low tax rates are enacted for the rich because they fund political parties, or simply because they demand it. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak paid tax of £508,308 on an income of just over £2.2 million, which is an effective tax rate of 23%. That is the tax rate faced by somebody on a wage of around £30,000 per year. As I...
Rishi Sunak: The whole House will join me in sending our deepest condolences to the family of Alexei Navalny. He died for a cause to which he dedicated his whole life: freedom. To return home knowing that Putin had already tried to have him killed was one of the most courageous acts of our time. Together with our allies, we are considering all options to hold Russia and Putin to account, and this morning...
Lord Alderdice: ...a consequence of Brexit was to damage the relationship with the European Union and the United States. After a couple of Prime Ministers not making much of a show of things, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak realised that the key thing for him to do was to repair the relationships with Europe and the United States, because, despite all the talk of being able to have lots of agreements,...
Vikki Howells: ...cymryd camau i atal camdriniaeth ar eu platfformau. Mae angen i Lywodraeth y DU gamu i'r gwagle hwn. Ond fel y clywsom mewn sylwadau a wnaed ar ôl llofruddiaeth erchyll Brianna Ghey, mae Rishi Sunak i'w weld yn fodlon gadael i'r cwmnïau cyfryngau cymdeithasol mawr fonitro eu hunain. Hefyd, rwyf am ategu sylwadau Peredur Owen Griffiths ar sylwadau Rishi Sunak heddiw. Nid yw hynny'n ddigon...
Emily Thornberry: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to your Department's publication entitled Rt Hon Liz Truss MP and Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP overseas travel, October to December 2022, updated 30 March 2023, what the cost was of the accommodation used by the Prime Minister on his visit to Indonesia between 13 and 17 November 2022.
Bill Kidd: ...a decade of austerity and may potentially be in violation of international law. However, what is Westminster’s response to that shocking statement? It is more cuts and more austerity, as Rishi Sunak considers plans to slash sickness benefits to the tune of £4 billion. Those proposed changes would mean that, in Scotland alone, as many as 56,500 people would lose out on existing health...
Rishi Sunak: I know the thoughts of the House and the country are with the King and his family. We wish His Majesty a speedy recovery and look forward to him resuming his public-facing duties in due course. This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in the House, and I shall have further such meetings later today.
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...yn y Siambr hon yn cytuno sy'n ddyledus i Gymru, nid yn unig yn gwneud iawn am y toriadau i'r gyllideb, ond byddai hefyd yn darparu mwy na £2.5 biliwn mewn cyllid ychwanegol. Prin y gall Rishi Sunak guddio ei ddirmyg tuag at Gymru drwy beidio â throsglwyddo'r arian ymlaen, ond Keir Starmer, os yw'n dymuno bod yn Brif Weinidog y DU cyn diwedd eleni, mae angen i ni ei weld yn dod o hyd i'w...
Edwin Poots: ...their contributions. Question, That the amendment be made, put and agreed to. Main Question, as amended, put and agreed to. Resolved: That this Assembly endorses the letter sent to Prime Minister Sunak by all Executive Ministers calling for our public finances to be placed on a sustainable footing and for the Executive to have the resources that they need to deliver effective public...
Lord Bragg: ...position in the curriculum”, is disgraceful, “nor is there support for small music venues, which are closing down at the rate of one a week”.—[ Official Report; 30/3/23, col. GC 108.] Mr Sunak promised assistance, but none has arrived yet. Howard Goodall writes that what has happened to music education in the past 13 years is a “seismic reconfiguration”. He continues that...
