A busy morning and into PMQs at 1145. The PM did well and, despite Starmer's efforts to strike a blow, they were easily deflected and instead he received a drubbing, which ended with him looking very sheepish and looking to the team left and right of him for reassurance. I then held an important virtual meeting with GPs and surgery staff from all over Purbeck, who voiced their genuine concerns over several issues, not least funding and staffing costs. I will do what I can to ensure ministers hear their concerns. I then had a virtual meeting with senior members of a company called UK Oil & Gas. They were CEO Stephen Saunderson, Matt Cartwright and Brian Alexander. The Secretary of State, Clare Coutinho, kindly listened as they explained how they wanted to store hydrogen in caves on the island of Portland. I managed to gulp down a sandwich, before racing to CR6 for a public session of the European Scrutiny Committee. We revisited a project called PESCO, a European initiative to ensure there is good rail and road connectivity in the event of war, along with other projects. We also wanted to ask the two panels about the military mobility 'administrative arrangement'. There are concerns that PESCO could detract from Nato. On the first panel, we had Dr Radomir Tylecote, Managing Director, Legatum Institute, and Ms Georgina Wright, Resident Senior Fellow and Deputy Director for International Studies at Institut Montaigne. On panel two, we had The Earl of Minto, Minister of State, Ministry of Defence, and Gareth Williams, Interim Head of Euro Atlantic Security Policy, Ministry of Defence. It was an interesting session, which left us feeling we hadn't really learnt a lot. You can judge for yourself should you wish to by watching Parliament TV.
