The comments made by Stuart Andrew, the Housing Minister, on 12 April 2022.
Up and down the country, street names often form a key part of an area’s history, cherished by the local community for the memories they hold and the places they represent.
These proposals will strengthen local democracy by ensuring that councils in England get agreement from local residents in advance of any street name changes.
The comments made by George Eustice, the Environment Secretary, on 12 April 2022.
Our programme of work has protected over 314,000 properties, defending people, communities, and businesses from flooding and coastal erosion. We know that there is still more to do, so we are doubling our investment with a record £5.2 billion over the next six years.
The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition, on 11 April 2022.
Today I am thinking of Sir David Amess, of the dedicated public servant that he was.
A champion of Southend and of his constituents. My heart goes out to David’s wife and children, and all those who knew him.
Threats to our democracy will never prevail.
The comments made by Jo Churchill, the Environment Minister, on 11 April 2022.
When it comes to fly-tipping, enough is enough. These appalling incidents cost us £392 million a year and it is time to put a stop to them.
I want to make sure that recycling and the correct disposal of rubbish is free, accessible and easy for householders. No one should be tempted to fly tip or turn to waste criminals and rogue operators.
Furthermore, the funding that we have announced for Local Authorities today will help them trial innovative new projects to put a stop to fly tipping. We will learn from the successes – and replicate them.
The comments made by John Nott, the then Defence Secretary, on 8 April 1982.
If Argentinian naval vessels comes into the 200-mile zone we will shoot first. It will be a judgement on their part, whether they want to risk coming into the zone. You’ll see. We wouldn’t start a battle we couldn’t win and I am confident that even though we are 8,000 miles away we have made arrangements for all the logistic support that we need for the fleet and the supporting arms, and that we can sustain it for a very long period of time. I am quite confident of that.
The comments made by Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, on 9 April 2022.
It is a privilege to be able to travel to Ukraine and meet President Zelenskyy in person in Kyiv today.
Ukraine has defied the odds and pushed back Russian forces from the gates of Kyiv, achieving the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century.
It is because of President Zelenskyy’s resolute leadership and the invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people that Putin’s monstrous aims are being thwarted.
I made clear today that the United Kingdom stands unwaveringly with them in this ongoing fight, and we are in it for the long run.
We are stepping up our own military and economic support and convening a global alliance to bring this tragedy to an end, and ensure Ukraine survives and thrives as a free and sovereign nation.
The comments made by Ben Wallace, the Secretary of State for Defence, on 8 April 2022.
The UK Government is resolute in our support for Ukraine and determined that no barbaric Russian act goes unanswered.
Another 800 NLAWs will not only support the Ukrainian defence, but show Putin that his brutality only stiffens our resolve.
The comments made by Ben Wallace, the Secretary of State for Defence, on 8 April 2022.
The UK and Romania are steadfast in the defence of our shared values and commitment to NATO’s collective security, in the air, at sea, and on land.
Together we are supporting Ukraine in its defence against Putin’s illegal invasion and I pay tribute to Romania’s generosity providing shelter for the tens of thousands of innocent civilians fleeing this horrific conflict.
The comments made by Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, on 1 April 2022.
I am deeply concerned about the impact that the soaring cost of living is having on Londoners. The increase in the energy price cap poses a significant challenge, especially to those on lower incomes whose energy bills are likely to take up a larger share of their outgoings.
There is a clear and urgent need for Londoners to be able to access practical financial advice which could help them navigate this difficult period. I hope that anyone who is struggling will find the new Cost of Living Hub to be a useful resource.
The comments made by Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business and Energy Secretary, on 8 April 2022.
This investment will unlock the enormous potential of hydrogen, advanced nuclear reactors and Carbon Capture to level up the UK energy landscape and deliver for businesses and households.
High gas prices and Russia’s aggression in Ukraine have highlighted the urgent need to produce more of our energy here in the UK.
That’s why we have set out bold plans to harness clean, cutting-edge, homegrown technologies and build the energy security we need for the future.
