Emergency Housing Measures: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2023)

Patricia Ryan: ...Governments have treated a roof over someone's head as a commodity to be left to the mercy of the market. Homes should be provided on the basis of need, not greed.

Finance Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2021)

Patricia Ryan: ...has so much been spent to achieve so little. Energy prices are spiralling out of control and the Government’s plan is to increase them further with carbon taxes.
