“Chrisann, what has the impact been of the introduction of the five-year route for children and young people who have lived in the UK for most of their lives?”

“What are the application processes like? Are they lengthy? Are they short? What is the difference between them?”

“I want to start by asking some questions about the experiences of young people under the current system. Anna, how easy it is for children and young people to achieve settlement under the current system?”

“My hon. and learned Friend is making a fantastic speech, and I thank him for bringing this debate to Westminster Hall. According to the Royal College of Nursing, 60% of internationally educated staff without ILR have said that it is very likely that extending this qualifying period will affect their decision to remain …”

“We have talked a lot about people who do not necessarily have all the documentation, and you talked about people sometimes coming to you with a birth certificate. There is a small cohort of people in the country who have British birth certificates but who technically do not have the right to work. Are you able to accep…”

“Is the amount you have to go through to get certified to do this a strain on an individual organisation or company?”

“I want to ask David how you get into the business of digital verification. Is there any sort of training or licensing that you have to do in various Government Departments? The layperson might think that these companies are given some sort of right by the Government to carry out said checks.”

“I welcome the Home Secretary’s announcement about the deployment of 13,000 more neighbourhood officers. That will be incredibly welcome in my constituency, where we have a serious antisocial behaviour problem. However, residents in my borough of Lambeth overall have a historical issue with levels of trust in the police…”

“A quick question on road traffic accidents, only because it would involve simple secondary legislation that inserts the word “cat” to give cats the same protection as dogs. Are there any plans for that?”

“Do you see a need for a distinct counter-extremism strategy, and how are you measuring impact in your approach to tackling new forms of extremism?”

“What does the Home Office count as counter-extremism measures, and what is the spend for counter-extremism including non-Prevent programmes?”
