14 Apr 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1819)

I admire your ambition for that.

14 Apr 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1819)

A lot of the evidence that we have received says there was basic consensus that SEND tribunals should only ever be used as a last resort. The Department said they expect the vast majority of disagreements to be resolved. We spoke to the representative of the local authority. Once we teased it out from her, the implicat

14 Apr 2026Backbench Business Committee — Oral Evidence (2026-04-14)

On your application, you said you were happy to have the debate in Westminster Hall or the Chamber. You only have eight people down on your list. You have not included yourself, so I presume it would be nine. If you wanted to have it in the main Chamber, you would need more names. Are you happy with just having a Westm

You would still want to reduce the need of it.

14 Apr 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1819)

You say, “Let’s have a clean slate” and Anna talked about that need for a culture change, but there is a reality that there will always still be mistakes. That is reality, so there does still need to be some sort of mechanism. What would you like to see there?

Do you have any examples? You talked about mistakes. Do you have any particular examples?

14 Apr 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1819)

I have seen some really good examples of that in my constituency of Harlow, but I recognise the challenges that they are facing. To go on to look at specialist bases, I am looking at Amanda on this. It is basically the same question. How do you see these specialist bases, so those that are specifically run by local aut

14 Apr 2026Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1819)

Some of you have touched upon this already. The Government propose inclusion bases that will offer specialist support in mainstream schools and colleges. That is broken into two types, which are support bases run by schools and trusts, and specialist bases run by local authorities. This is specifically to Daniel and Ma

13 Apr 2026Southport Inquiry

I thank the Home Secretary for her statement today and for her continued leadership on this issue. Can I join the whole House in sending my sympathies not only to the victims, but to their families? This was a dreadful crime, and I am sure that any parent in the Chamber will be, like me, rightly appalled by it. Having

13 Apr 2026 North Atlantic Submarine Activity

I thank my hon. and gallant Friend for his statement. I pay tribute to our incredibly brave naval personnel for the important work they do, often in difficult weather conditions, to keep us all safe. It strikes me that Harlow is quite a way from the Arctic circle and that the Arctic circle is considerably colder than H

On that point, will the shadow Minister give way?

13 Apr 2026SEND Provision and Reform

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way and for bringing this really important debate to the Chamber. I recognise his passion for supporting young people with SEND, but I disagree with his views on the Government’s White Paper. I say that not because I am sitting on this side of the Chamber, but as a former teacher w

25 Mar 2026Northern Ireland Troubles: Legacy and Reconciliation

What reassurance can the Secretary of State give me and my constituents that the health and wellbeing of veterans will be taken into account if they are required to give evidence to the commission or coroners?

25 Mar 2026Victims and Courts Bill

I join the Minister in thanking the hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mr Reynolds) for his work on this issue. I also take this opportunity to thank my hon. Friend the Member for Bolsover (Natalie Fleet) for her work on the part of this Bill that ensures there are no parental rights for child sex offenders or those who conce

25 Mar 2026Foreign Financial Influence and Interference: UK Politics

I thank the Secretary of State for making this important statement. Like the hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington (Bobby Dean), I am concerned about the ability of shell companies to make political donations. Clearly that is not transparent, and that is rightly recognised in the Rycroft review. What steps will the

24 Mar 2026 Defence

I thank the hon. and gallant Gentleman for what I perceive to be a very constructive speech in which he is generally trying to support the Minister. I promise I will not mention Cheltenham markets to him. He talks about our power. I recently visited Estonia with the Education Committee. Does he agree that part of our p

24 Mar 2026Work and Pensions Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1683)

Thank you, Dame Rachel, for coming in and for your evidence so far. It struck me when you spoke about young people talking about their aspirations, and wanting to be the next Prime Minister or to be a pilot or whatever it might be. In my constituency of Harlow I think you would probably get that at primary school, and
