Speeches by Mohamed.

“How are you engaging Palestinians in the West Bank in the work that you do?”

“On the point of annexation, how do we deal with the reality that is happening now? Linking that to the earlier question that I was going to ask, on the programmes that your organisation delivers, or your members deliver, how do we ensure that this does not normalise the status quo? It does not really address the imbala…”

“Have any of the programmes that are part of ALLMEP actually made a difference or had any specific outcomes in addressing some of the structural issues?”

“I agree with the hon. Member that many cases have been delayed as a result of incompetence and staff not being trained properly. The constant churn in the Home Office has meant that people are just treated as numbers and not as real human beings who have families who need to be reunited. People cannot control who they …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Pritchard. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for North Ayrshire and Arran (Irene Campbell) on her excellent speech. She, along with other Members present, has raised many important points. I also thank Reunite Families UK and the families we have with us toda…”

“Many of my constituents are rightly concerned about animal welfare. I join them in wanting to see more action in that area, whether that is an end to trail hunting, the phasing out of animal testing or abolishing the use of snare traps. I welcome the Government’s pledge to introduce a range of measures in support of an…”

“In November, the Israel Defence Forces made an official statement that they are getting closer to the complete evacuation of northern Gaza and that Palestinians will not be permitted to return home. In December, Doctors Without Borders reported on the clear signs of ethnic cleansing in the north of Gaza. Only last week…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under you, Chair, and I congratulate the hon. Member for Isle of Wight East (Joe Robertson) on securing today’s debate. As the former chief executive of a community regeneration organisation, I speak from direct experience of working with charities on the ground. Although it is nice that today…”

“My final question is in relation to the Dars programme. Does this rely on the Malala foundation funding continuing, or would you be able to cost this?”

“How do you monitor that against censorship in some countries? The work in Afghanistan is incredibly important. The current regime might restrict women and girls from access to these particular programmes? What actual work is taking place to try to challenge that?”

“How do you monitor the impact of that against the value of the funding that you received? How do you monitor whether it is actually reaching the people that it needs to reach?”

“That was an interesting final point you mentioned there in terms of culturally competent and culturally aware. You mentioned countries that perhaps might be a challenge. There are conflicts there. How does the World Service work on the humanitarian project or humanitarian issues in areas where there are conflicts? You …”

“Might it help in any area of UK foreign policy in relation to trade or international investment, or is the idea to keep those at arm’s length?”

“How will our funding levels affect our ability to play a stronger role in that field?”

“Beyond the soft power, are there any other benefits of the World Service?”

“We mentioned the World Service there. In advancing the UK’s foreign policy interests in relation to the World Service, how might the BBC deploy influence and advance foreign policy using the World Service?”

“My final question is in relation to the Dars programme. Does this rely on the Malala foundation funding continuing, or would you be able to cost this?”
