Speeches by Maguire.

“The Home Office is undertaking to ensure that the measures recently announced by the Home Secretary on tackling extremism are implemented effectively. I know there are other questions on the Prevent scheme, which I will steer away from for now. On the range of cyber and tech-enabled crimes taking place on the internet,…”

“On that point, will the Secretary of State give way?”

“I am interested to hear about the measures in the Bill relating to local authorities and public authorities. Has the Secretary of State considered expanding remit of the Public Sector Fraud Authority to investigate cases of serious mismanagement of funds by local authorities, such as the recent botched sale of Newquay …”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“Will the Secretary of State give way?”

“From Bude to Bodmin, and across my constituency, my constituents express their anger at having to pay astronomical fees to property management companies that provide little to no service. Will the Leader of the House grant a debate in Government time on the right of freeholders to challenge fees through arbitration and…”

“I did.”

“The shambolic Conservative Government created a crisis for democracy in this country with their cronyism, rule breaking and constant sleaze scandals. They even appointed as their Attorney General the right hon. and learned Member for Torridge and Tavistock (Sir Geoffrey Cox), who before his appointment represented some…”

“I warmly welcome the news, on which I congratulate the Minister, that the women and children’s hospital at Treliske and the emergency care hospital at Derriford are in wave 1. However, some of my North Cornwall constituents rely on the crumbling North Devon district hospital, which is potentially 15 years from a rebuil…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Huq. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Marie Goldman) for securing this important debate. I welcome the drive for diversity in our mainstream schools, but we also need to make sure that we provide specialist provision for our children. I draw the Minist…”

“Thanks very much, Chair. I thank you and the other Committee members for having me today and for considering my application. I am a member of the Home Affairs Committee, and today I am seeking a debate on rural crime, which is an issue of growing concern for communities across the UK, such as mine in North Cornwall. Ru…”

“I just want to follow up on some of my colleagues’ questions. I find it absolutely shocking that you do not seem to have had any engagement, not just with the Home Office but with other Government Departments, when you have been set up as an independent inquiry to look at this and make recommendations. I am totally sho…”

“Yes, that should be fine.”

“To summarise, then, we have talked a lot about the implementation process and timescales, but I wonder if you have any further reflections on the independent inquiry process, the relationship with the Government and any recommendations or suggestions that we have not yet covered.”

“On the subject of defence, and particularly technology, does my hon. Friend agree that mandating battery back-ups for all mobile phone masts, both existing and newly installed, would provide a simple, robust solution to ensure uninterrupted communication access, particularly in rural areas such as mine in North Cornwal…”

“I wish you and your team, Mr Speaker, and everyone in the House a very merry Christmas, and I welcome the Solicitor General to her place. However, I am afraid that it will not be a merry Christmas for all my constituents. Rural crime in North Cornwall is on the rise, from rural theft to increased drug trafficking. Coun…”

“T4. North Cornwall has world-class beaches and rivers, but Santa swims have been cancelled due to the constant dumping of raw sewage. Meanwhile, water companies receive millions from bill payers, but then the very next day, they give it away to their shareholders. Does the Secretary of State agree that the best gift he…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Efford. I thank the hon. Member for Truro and Falmouth (Jayne Kirkham) for securing this important debate and for championing our fantastic Duchy of Cornwall as a green investment hub. Offshore wind in the Celtic sea represents a huge opportunity to support the UK’s en…”

“Veterans who suffered from this abhorrent abuse, including a constituent of mine who is up in the Gallery today, suffered the most shocking experiences of brutal rape and assault, and bravely want their story to be told. Does the hon. Member agree that funds should be allocated among the victims on the basis of the sev…”

“A North Cornwall constituent of mine was attending the debate from the Public Gallery but has had to leave because of the outrage that he feels. Does the Minister agree that greater financial compensation should be given to veterans such as my constituent, who suffered such enormous harm, including gang rape and severe…”
