PMQs

Question

I join the Prime Minister in his remarks about the humanitarian disaster we are witnessing in India. Given the scale and gravity of the disaster, I hope the Foreign Secretary will set out today what more the UK will do to help the Indian people in their hour of need.

Question

Well, somebody here is not telling the truth. The House will have heard the Prime Minister's answer and I remind him that the ministerial code says: “Ministers who knowingly mislead Parliament will be expected to offer their resignation”. Who initially—“initially” is the key word here—paid for the redecoration of his Downing Street flat?

Question

Normally when people do not want to incriminate themselves, they go, “No comment.” Let us explore this a bit further. This is the initial invoice, Prime Minister. Either the taxpayer paid the initial invoice, or it was the Conservative party, or it was a private donor, or it was the Prime Minister. I ask him again: who paid the initial invoice—the initial invoice, Prime Minister—for the redecoration of the Prime Minister's flat?

Question

The Prime Minister talks of priorities. What is he spending his time doing? Just last week, he spent his time phoning journalists to moan about his old friend Dominic Cummings. He is telling the civil service to find out who paid for the redecoration of his flat—the Cabinet Secretary has been asked to investigate who paid for the refurbishment of the flat. Why doesn't the Prime Minister just tell him? That would be the end of the investigation. Can the Prime Minister, if he is so keen to answer, confirm: did Lord Brownlow make that payment for that purpose?

Question

That is what the public scream at their televisions every PMQs: “Answer the question!” The Prime Minister has not answered the question. He knows he has not answered the question. He never answers the question. Can the Prime Minister tell the House: does he believe that any rules or laws have been broken in relation to the Prime Minister's flat?

Question

Can I remind the Prime Minister of the Nolan principles? Instead of these principles, we get dodgy contracts, jobs for mates and cash for access. The British people deserve a trustworthy Prime Minister, not one mired in scandal. Do not the British people deserve a PM they can trust?

Question

Thank the Prime Minister for swift action on vaccine delivery and thank volunteers like Kirsty Griffiths, Guy Hollis, Paul Bass at Marlow vaccine centre. Thank you for the vaccine roll-out in South Bucks.

Question

May I associate myself with PM's remarks about India humanitarian crisis and Post Office injustice? Over 127,000 people have died from covid in UK. NHS staff gave their all to fight the virus but many lost loved ones. The Prime Minister's remark is utterly sickening: that he would rather let bodies pile high than go into lockdown. Sources confirm this was said by PM under oath. Are you a liar, Prime Minister?

Question

Given the allegations that money was funnelled through Tory HQ into the PM's bank account, when did this occur? When will he pay back any funds and what is the interest rate on the loan if applicable? Who provided the original funding? Is there a risk of prosecution by the Electoral Commission if these details are not disclosed?

Question

Given the successful Bristol Road South project creating new jobs, does the Prime Minister support Andy Street's vision for West Midlands growth? Will the Government work closely with local Conservative councillors and Mayor Street to regenerate Northfield High Street?

Question

Given that the Prime Minister has violated principles like selflessness and honesty, what measures will be taken if he continues to flout the rules? How can citizens ensure accountability when the judge of his conduct is him?

Question

Given that last week's ruling was just the start, what measures will the Government take to address this miscarriage of justice fully? A judge-led public inquiry seems necessary to achieve true justice and hold those responsible accountable.

Question

Given that in March last year, the UK Government halted a deal between Wales and Roche for 5,000 daily covid tests, why was this action taken? Did it not compromise Welsh lives during the pandemic?

Question

Considering the significant investment in the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) as part of future nuclear capabilities, will my right hon. Friend outline plans to improve women's participation in defence and nuclear sectors? May I invite him to visit AWE?

Question

I welcome the Prime Minister's commitment last week to include aviation and shipping in our emissions target, but surely he knows that we will miss that target if we proceed with a third runway at Heathrow, and, furthermore, that that would undermine the progress towards net zero. Will he therefore take this opportunity to commit to amending the airports national policy statement?

Question

Right now, levels of business optimism are higher than they have been since the start of the pandemic, with many firms planning more hires and apprenticeships. Does my right hon. Friend agree that there has never been a more important moment for voters in Scotland and Wales to reject negativity and divisiveness and look forward to a brighter and stronger future as one United Kingdom?

Question

It is shocking that we have heard about the Electoral Commission's investigation into funding of the PM's Downing Street flat. Why does the Prime Minister think these stories keep happening to him and his government?

Question

I thank all staff and emergency services for dealing swiftly with a major water leak yesterday, fortunately no one was hurt. However, will the PM offer his full support to the Doncaster Conservative mayoral candidate, James Hart?

Question

The PM promised in texts to 'fix' a tax issue for Sir James Dyson. Last week, he promised to publish these texts but has not done so yet. When will they be published?

Question

My constituency has many attractions such as Twycross zoo and Mallory Park. With the bank holiday coming up, does the Prime Minister have any plans for Bosworth? More importantly, what are the Government doing to support these attractions and domestic tourism this summer?

Question

Is not the truth behind all of this—the sleaze, the scandals, the jobs for your mates, the cash for curtains —that the Prime Minister thinks that rules, laws and decency are for other people?

Question

Next week, residents here in Nottinghamshire will go out to vote for the first time since that incredibly successful 2019 election. Despite that success, many areas still have mainly Labour councillors at a local level. Does my right hon. Friend have a message for Nottinghamshire voters?

Question

When were the Prime Minister and his chief of staff first made aware of the plan for a European super league?

Question

My constituency of Stroud recently won the title of best place to live. There is much to visit there, including an historic lamp standard that was erected to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. Next year, our own Queen will mark 70 years since her accession to the throne. Will the Prime Minister join me in supporting the gift being proposed by Parliament to mark Her Majesty's platinum jubilee?

Question

Next week, we will elect our first Mayor of West Yorkshire. Does the Prime Minister agree that for far too long Labour has taken our northern heartlands for granted?
