Speeches by Ribeiro-Addy.

“My hon. Friend and constituency neighbour in Lambeth is making an excellent speech. The arbitrary cap, which I believe was initially created in the fair funding review, created the unintended consequence of leaving Lambeth missing out on the funding that it would have otherwise received. That means that Lambeth has los…”

“The Met said that it would reflect on what Dr Daniels found. Do you recognise the picture that she paints of the Met in her report?”

“Do you accept the conclusions of Dr Shereen Daniels’s report on racism in the Met? She described the Met as having discrimination “baked into” its institutional design.”

“Following on from that, what actions have you taken personally to address the issues that Dr Daniels raised in the report?”

“No, you were saying that you would do a two-year follow-up—an assessment, I suppose—showing us where you had moved forward. The worry among some communities is that it will just be another assessment as opposed to an action plan.”

“It is not the first report over many years with similar findings. We touched on the Casey review earlier, which specifically found institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia. After it was published, you promised a two-year follow up to assess any progress. That was during March 2025, but it has not really materialis…”

“Do you accept that the Metropolitan police has gone through a period of being institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic?”

“On the confidence of victims, in the 12 months up to September 2025, 63% of victims said that they were satisfied with the service provided by the Met overall. What are you doing to ensure that all victims, including those with protected characteristics, have the same satisfactory experience?”

“You have talked about things going up slightly in certain communities, but that points to the fact that levels of trust were found to be markedly lower in those from black and mixed ethnic backgrounds, and in people from LGBT+ communities. They cited over-criminalisation, under-protection, and institutionalised racism,…”

“I thank the hon. Member for Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber (Brendan O'Hara) for bringing forward this vital debate. To many of us, it has always been abundantly clear that what is taking place in Palestine does indeed constitute a genocide. Since the Israeli attacks began in 2023, more than 70,000 people have been kil…”

“Would people who would qualify for ILR today but could not afford to pay the application fee be affected by the changes? Would the changes apply to them?”

“In the evidence we have received from immigrants, we are finding that they have planned their lives around a five-year route. They are selling property in their home countries, turning down other jobs and delaying having children. Do you think it is fair to those people for the terms of their route to settlement to be …”

“A lot of these questions are coming up because of the anxiety of retrospectivity. This is causing a lot of issues, so the question is: if somebody had the right to apply but could not afford it today, what would happen?”

“Thinking of another group of people who the requirement might affect, would it be fair to apply it to households where one parent is caring for children rather than working?”

“So there are going to be plans to assess people as households as opposed to as individuals.”

“At the moment, the Home Office assesses people as individuals. Why do that when people generally plan as households?”

“Okay, but to go back to the retrospective nature of this, what advice did you seek when deciding whether to apply the changes retrospectively?”

“I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to prohibit giving or receiving a reward for the supply of, or for offering to supply, human remains or any object partially consisting of human remains; to prohibit advertising the sale, exchange, or offer of sale or exchange, of human remains or any object partial…”

“Home Secretary, you have covered what you think is the purpose of the mandatory minimum economic requirement, but we have heard that that proposal will affect a huge number of people. Regardless of the arguments about high earners and the best and brightest, probably the exact industries where we currently have quite l…”

“Yes, definitely—it was more about the advice you sought.”
