As someone with personal experience of AI-generated images, the recent AI images shared on X, particularly those of children, sicken me. Yet the Leader of Reform, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage), continues to defend Elon Musk. Anyone who defends platforms linked to the sexual exploitation of children forfeits any right to give lectures about protecting women and girls. What will the Prime Minister do to stop any political party from putting tech billionaires ahead of protecting our children?
Context
Recent AI-generated images shared on X, particularly those of children, have caused public concern. The Leader of Reform, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage), has defended Elon Musk.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
I thank the hon. Member for raising that. It is astonishing that Reform defends Musk on this issue. I said that the images are disgusting; Reform’s position on this issue is disgusting. This is weaponising images of women and children and they should never be made, and that is why we are acting. Reform refused to do anything about it, but more than that, on the point she raised, it would scrap the Online Safety Act 2023, which stops children accessing pornography and content on suicide, self-harm and eating disorders. Reform is an absolute disgrace and knows nothing about protecting children.

Diolch, Llefarydd. Representatives of Glan Rhos nursing home in my constituency tell me that the Budget changes mean a 10% increase in their in-year costs—a staggering £127,500 extra. Will the Prime Minister reconsider the rise in employer national insurance?
Context
Representatives of Glan Rhos nursing home in Ynys Môn have reported a 10% increase in costs due to Budget changes, amounting to an additional £127,500.
Keir Starmer
What we did in last week's Budget was ensure that no one would face tax rises in their payslip. We had to deal with the £22 billion black hole, but when we did so, we protected the smallest businesses and charities. We doubled the employment allowance to £10,500, meaning that 40% of employers will not pay employer national insurance contributions. Companies with four employees or fewer on the minimum wage will pay no employer NICs at all, and half of businesses that pay NICs will see no change or pay less after the Budget.
Assessment
The Prime Minister did not address reconsidering the rise in employer national insurance.

The contracts for difference budget is vital for job creation and the growth of the marine energy sector, yet the latest round removed the tidal stream ringfence and cut emerging technology funding. Can the Minister explain why these changes were made, and will he meet me to discuss how marine energy projects, such as Morlais in Ynys Môn, can get the support they need to succeed?
Context
The MP is concerned about the removal of tidal stream ringfencing and cuts in emerging technology funding from the contracts for difference budget, impacting projects such as Morlais in Ynys Môn.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Chris McDonald)
Tidal stream is important—I want to be clear about that. We are keen to support it, and we are doing so. The hon. Member mentioned the importance of contracts for difference in supporting marine energy. I previously mentioned the clean industry bonus, and that is exactly how we are doing it: we are using the contracts for difference policy in order to ensure that, through the clean industry bonus, those jobs land in the UK.

Will the Secretary of State and the Minister give us the recognition and acknowledgment that Wylfa needs new nuclear and that that will be seen in the near future?
Context
Data from the last year showed that Ynys Môn saw a drop of 57% in jobs linked to the nuclear industry; the worst figure for a UK constituency. Wylfa being recognised as the best site for new nuclear in Europe, but no development from the previous Government.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Michael Shanks)
Wylfa is an important site and continues to be one that the Government are considering. We will take forward those decisions in due course. As I have said to her on a number of previous occasions, we are committed to delivering the jobs that go with that and Wylfa remains an important site.

By 2030, 8,600 MW of onshore wind is needed in England and Wales. Can you outline exactly how Wales will be benefiting from this huge ramp up in onshore wind?
Context
Despite lifting the onshore wind ban, there are concerns about how Wales will benefit from a ramp up of onshore wind.
Ed Miliband
I have to say to the hon. Lady that I do not see it that way. The reality is that the country is totally vulnerable to the rollercoaster of the fossil fuel markets. We do not need to look into a crystal ball; we just need to look at the record: we saw the worst cost of living crisis in generations. So long as we are exposed in this way, people in Wales and across the country are vulnerable.

Can the Secretary of State explain why the Government did that for British Steel but dismissed nationalisation in the case of Port Talbot?
Context
The question is prompted by the Government's assessment of the cost to nationalise British Steel, while dismissing similar action for Port Talbot.
Jo Stevens
The Government have no plans to nationalise British Steel.

In the Budget, the Chancellor announced that the Barnett formula would apply to funding for agriculture. The Farmers' Union of Wales says this could lead to a £146 million cut per year. Is this figure correct and does my Government's Budget show consideration for farming communities?
Context
The Chancellor announced that the Barnett formula would apply to funding for agriculture, leading to concerns from the Farmers' Union of Wales about potential cuts.
Jo Stevens
I was pleased that the current farming budget was protected for next financial year despite difficult decisions. The Conservative party trashed our economy.
Session: Impact of the Budget

What discussions have I had with the Welsh Government on the impact of the autumn Budget on Wales? The Chancellor announced that the Barnett formula would apply to funding for agriculture instead of ringfenced amounts. Is the figure of £146 million a year correct, and does my Government's Budget show any consideration for farming communities?
Context
The Welsh Government has received a large settlement in real terms for public services, but the Farmers' Union of Wales claims this could lead to a £146 million annual cut for agriculture.
Jo Stevens
I have regular discussions on the autumn Budget. The Welsh Government is receiving its largest settlement in real terms since devolution. More than 100,000 workers benefit from wage increases each year.

Now that she is in power, will she back those words with a concrete plan?
Context
Wylfa has a long history of clean energy production, but job losses have occurred due to delays.
Jo Stevens
Our manifesto commitment to deliver new nuclear at places such as Wylfa still stands. The Government have completed the purchase of the Wylfa site and will end over a decade of inaction on nuclear power, part of wider plans for building again.

Debates led and petitions presented.
New Nuclear Projects: Wylfa
07 May 2025
Responding: Michael Shanks
Main Concerns
['Wylfa is the best site in Europe for new nuclear energy projects, but it has been overlooked due to lack of clarity and urgency from the Government. Two reactors were constructed at Wylfa in 1971 and generated electricity until 2015 when both reached the end of their operating life, followed by plans being paused and scrapped.']
Specific Asks
['The Government should commit to Wylfa as a site for new nuclear projects before the opportunity is lost. There needs to be clarity on how discussions with developers are progressing.']
Large-scale Energy Projects and Food Security
22 October 2024
Responding: Michael Shanks
Main Concerns
["The speaker is concerned about the impact of large-scale solar farms on Ynys Môn's agricultural land, which could lead to a loss of £33 million in GVA and threaten the livelihoods of farmers. The proposed Maen Hir energy project covers 3,700 acres and would have a generating capacity of 360 MW, potentially affecting up to 31 farms on the island. Campaigners argue that this development could devastate communities and the economy due to the loss of agricultural land and jobs, while only creating 12 full-time positions during its operational life."]
Specific Asks
["The speaker urges the UK Government to commit to a new nuclear power station at Wylfa and to safeguard good quality agricultural land when considering large-scale energy projects. She also asks for discussions with the Future Generations Commissioner regarding the Maen Hir project's implications for future generations' well-being and suggests alternatives like rooftop solar and tidal energy development."]

- - Ministers answer questions rather than asking them, so have different activity patterns
- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
