"Lesia Vasylenko, an incredibly brave Ukrainian MP and mother of three, spoke recently of women being raped and hanged, some in front of their very young children.

"Of course, those are all good things to be doing, but will the Minister answer the question of when the cut in aid of 50% is going to be reversed?..." Anna McMorrin - View Speech
"I appreciate the Minister’s answer on this issue. Can he tell me what access the UN is going to have to that ship following that conversation? As we know, four times as many tonnes of oil are on it as were on the Exxon Valdez, which would lead to a …..." Anna McMorrin - View Speech
