Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 October 2025

Debate

Jamaica: Hurricane Melissa

Contribution

The noble Baroness puts it incredibly powerfully, as I would expect her to. It really matters that people in Jamaica are not expected to live in the hardship that she describes for any longer than is necessary. Of course, we will stand with the Government of Jamaica as they respond initially, but also as they then look at what they need to do to rebuild and reconstruct. As I say, it is really important that the Government of Jamaica lead this. I know they will do a good job, and we will work alongside them to make sure that they are able to get what they need when they need it, and that the island can be rebuilt into the amazing place we all love.
