Water White Paper - Hansard - UK Parliament Hansard record of the item : 'Water White Paper' on Wednesday 21 January 2026.

Thousands of homes have been hit by water supply issues, I raised this with the Minister today. Last night's burst water main and hundreds of smaller bursts in the recent cold weather are the legacy of Thames Waterโ€™s failure over not years but decades.

Legal Aid - Hansard - UK Parliament Hansard record of the item : 'Legal Aid' on Tuesday 16 December 2025.

Evidence suggests civil & family legal aid in particular are in a dire position. There have been increases in housing & immigration fees, but I asked the Secretary of State what plans he has to review legal aid fees, particularly in civil & family law.

Last night we met in Lyric Square, Hammersmith to light the first Chanukah candle as we do every year. We remembered those killed and injured in the atrocity in Sydney and we reaffirmed our commitment to hope and unity in the face of such horror.

The wet wipes cleared from 'Wet Wipe Island' in the Thames by Hammersmith show the scale of the issue of wet wipes polluting our rivers. We're banning plastic in wet wipes which is a huge win for our rivers, ocean and wildlife!
