I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention and wish him a happy Christmas as well; we share the same dry cleaner, Mr George, who regularly

asks after the hon. Gentleman. I say to Reform Members that the way this matter is being raised is a playbook: assertions, which are...

The MV Ruby is a sorry tale of bad decision making by Government and a selection of unaccountable, unelected quangos operating in silos without any application of common sense. It exemplifies the loss of sovereignty of Parliament, which should be absolute under the 1689 Bill of Rights, which asserted the...

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing a debate on this topic, which has caused great concern to residents of our neighbouring constituencies. In this case there appears to have been a total information vacuum for local people and representatives, which has fuelled fear and

I could not agree more. Good government must be transparent government.

I hope that the Minister has his pencil ready, because I have 18 urgent questions for which I believe the House needs answers.

No. 1: Why did the Minister tell me on Thursday 28th November that this was a local issue?

Well, Madam Deputy Speaker, it is the season of good will.

First and foremost, I want to say that I am proud of this nation. I think I am prouder of this nation than the hon. Gentleman is. The United Kingdom has a proud seafaring heritage, and we are the home...

If there was no potential contamination and if all the processes were fully followed, as the Minister is indicating, then presumably the Government will have no problem ensuring that all that documentation is made available and public, in a transparent and open way, so that we can have no doubts...
