13 Mar 2025 Victory in Europe and Japan: 80th Anniversaries

As a veteran myself—albeit of a much later conflict—I welcome the commitment to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day and VJ Day. In my constituency, we had both RAF Bomber Command’s Pathfinder force and the US air force’s 303rd Bomb Group, which flew the first US mission over Nazi-occupied Europe in 1942. The US

13 Mar 2025Farming

Our farmers find themselves in an increasingly precarious position. Politically, we see a drip-drip of punishing legislation eroding our agricultural sector. The family farms tax has seen regular protests here in Westminster and those farmers do not come here to pledge their fealty, much as the Government would like th

12 Mar 2025Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)

On the issue of inconsistency, I have received an awful lot of abuse in my time—probably more before I became an MP last July than since, in fact. I have probably well over a hundred examples of racist abuse that I have reported to the police—primarily the Met but latterly other forces as well. Whether the force takes

What about if that is online? You spoke about tracking an IP address. I know that you would need to do an Optica request to get an IP address. To my mind, this crime has never actually been investigated, because you have never taken a statement, you have never asked me any questions about it, and I am not sure that you

I mentioned earlier an Optica request. What tools exist in that hierarchy to, effectively, accelerate the tools available to you? I appreciate that some of those will be confidential—at the higher end—but to look at the sort of abuse that we face, what tools do you have available to you? In the past, I have done my own

12 Mar 2025Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)

What are the main challenges to pursuing prosecutions against alleged perpetrators of intimidation, abuse or harassment of MPs and candidates, from the perspective of both the police and the victim? Do you have the digital forensic tools and capabilities needed to police virtual crimes, particularly, as that area is on

11 Mar 2025Knife Crime: Victims

I welcome the steps that the Government are taking to address knife crime, and anything that can be done to reduce the number of young people who are drawn into this type of violence. How will the new offence of possessing a knife with violent intent differ from existing legislation relating to possession of an article

10 Mar 2025 Crime and Policing Bill

The right hon. Lady mentioned 13,000 neighbourhood police, but 3,000 of those will be new warranted officers; I believe that 3,000 will be operational police officers brought back from other places. When will police forces find out what their share of those police officers will be? How will the 3,000 officers currently

10 Mar 2025 Crime and Policing Bill

Knife crime is a grave issue, and I welcome any measures that can help to reduce it. I have a debate next Thursday on knife crime, and I hope to see good representation from all parts of the House in debating how we can reduce the number of children and young people involved in knife crime, whether as victim or perpetr

6 Mar 2025 Business of the House

Last week, I attended the Thrive youth café held at All Saints church in Huntingdon. The café runs on Mondays and Fridays after school. Richard and Ruth, who run the space, said that it provides a safe space and a listening ear, as well as pool, table tennis and a PlayStation. Crucially, it provides opportunities for y

Further to my online petition of residents in Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire that has received 1,100 signatures, I present this petition from constituents of Huntingdon and north Bedfordshire who will be impacted by the proposed East Park Energy solar farm.
