Speeches by Burton-Sampson.

“Were there any messages that you had envisaged would come out of the show that maybe were not picked up?”

“Jess Phillips, who is in our Home Office team does a lot of work in this area as you probably know; you have both met her. She met the Argentinian Home Secretary yesterday, who mentioned your work and was deeply admiring of your work. She said to mention that to you.”

“I just want to jump in on a couple of points you both made. You are both in agreement that there seems to be a rise in this type of behaviour in schools. What do you think is fuelling that rise?”

“Darren, Matt mentioned he does not think there is much guidance from the Government around the increasing levels of misogyny and sexual assault, and so on and so forth, in schools for female teachers. What has been the Government’s response from your point of view? Are you aware of a Government response? What more do y…”

“To be very clear, that guidance does not currently exist?”

“Do you want to come in very quickly, Dr Guinness?”

“Thank you very much. Just a final question from me. You have obviously heard the evidence from the team from “Adolescence”, and you mentioned it as well, Dr Guinness. Obviously, the Government’s desire is for this show to be shown in all secondary schools. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you think it is a supporti…”

“Interesting, thanks.”

“Darren, I am throwing you in at the deep end, but I am going to start with you, if I may. Just thinking about misogyny in schools, what kind of misogynistic behaviour are you seeing between pupils, and do you think the level of this behaviour is changing, either increasing or decreasing?”

“What was the one thing you ideally wanted the audience to get out of this?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell. Signal jammers and other electronic devices are a real problem, and one that many of my residents did not realise exist until they were hit. I will never forget knocking on a door one Saturday morning, when the resident opened and said, “Where’s my car gone?” S…”

“As I look around the room, we all have our mobiles glued to our hands. They do everything for us now: payments, emails, leisure and, occasionally, phone calls. These devices are massively important to us. We all know the feeling of leaving home without a mobile device—many of us would have to turn round because we cann…”

“I thank the Minister for his answer to the urgent question. Nobody but those in my constituency and that of my hon. Friend the Member for Spen Valley (Kim Leadbeater) know what it is actually like when somebody kills your MP. The reverberations are still being felt in Southend West and Leigh three and a half years late…”

“Football clubs command a special place in the hearts of their community and the hearts of their fans. Their continued success is key to the identity and community spirit of their areas, and local clubs bring a great deal of economic benefit. I know that is the case with my team, Southend United—the Shrimpers—in the hea…”

“I, too, welcome clause 73. Does my hon. Friend agree that more needs to be done to prevent spiking? The Government need to work with other partners, such as the police, venues and transport, as set out in their plans for spiking in November last year. Does my hon. Friend agree that that provides a more holistic approac…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Allin-Khan. Violence against women and girls is not just a societal problem—it is a national emergency. I am proud of the action that this Labour Government are taking in our Crime and Policing Bill to tackle it. Tough new action is needed, and we are bringing it. T…”

“I will come to you if I may, Akeela. How would you assess the work of Government and local authorities in combating anti-Muslim hatred and promoting community cohesion? What more do you think they need to do?”

“Akeela, I have just a very quick question. You mentioned hate crime reporting. I am very aware that hate crime is often not reported, but you also mentioned it being reported, but not as a hate crime. Is that down to the way the individual is reporting, or is that down to the interpretation of the police receiving the …”

“Thank you for sharing that. Professor Khan, if I could come to you, what do you think are the most effective ways to combat Islamophobia?”

“That is really helpful. Dr Green, looking at the Muslim Council of Britain, what work do you do, or plan to do, with other groups from other communities to improve cohesion?”
