Before I come to Prime Minister's questions, may I extend a warm welcome to the President of the National Council of Slovak Republic and his delegation, who are with us in the gallery today.

And may I also welcome the new Chief Minister of Centrelina.

We now come to questions to Prime Minister Kit Maltouse.

Number one.

Prime Minister.

Mr Speaker, let me start by congratulating Scotland on their magnificent victory last night,

qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1998. I didn't realise you were all Scottish MPs, quite a minister.

They qualified with fantastic goals, including a cracker from former Arsenal player, Kieran.

He was always a favourite with the fans.

My thoughts are with the communities across the country affected by severe flooding, particularly

in Monmouthshire.

I've been liaising with the First Minister of Wales and I want to thank all our emergency services for their response.

Mr Speaker, my thoughts are also with the family and loved one of Royal Fleet

Auxiliary Member James Elliott, who has sadly been lost.

I know the contribution that personnel of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary make and the risks that they take in the line of duty.

My thoughts, and I'm sure the thoughts of the whole House, are with those who knew him at this tragic and difficult time for them.

Mr. Speaker, last Thursday I visited Anglesea to announce the construction of the country's first small

modular reactor. That's the biggest investment in North Wales in a generation, creating

more than 6,000 jobs. On Monday, we introduced the largest overhaul of the asylum policy

in modern times, restoring control, fairness and creating safe and legal routes. Today I am pleased to announce that inflation is coming down.

There's more to do, but it's an important step.

This morning, I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.
