Several hon. Members rose—
Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Roger Gale)
Order. May I gently remind Members that Mr Speaker has determined that anybody who came in five minutes after the start of the session will not be called?
Colum Eastwood (Foyle) (SDLP)
I know that the Secretary of State likes to fly around in his own private plane, but I can tell him for a fact that while he has been doing that, many nurses in my constituency have been accessing food banks. This Government seem very uncomfortable with nurses standing on picket lines but totally relaxed about them lining up to get food for their families at food banks. If this Government are serious about stopping the strikes, surely now is the time to pay these essential workers properly.
