Speeches by Butler.

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. You may be coming to this, but it is an incredible—”

“I pass Grenfell on my way home every evening, and I see the green heart move lower and lower as the building is dismantled. I wonder what will happen when the building is gone. I think about the survivors, the families and the 72 lives lost. I thank the Secretary of State for his statement, but after nine years, nobody…”

“rose—”

“When I was in opposition, I raised concerns about Palantir and the £1 deal that was made. It was always a trap to ensure that Palantir got its foot in where no one else could. The co-founder of Palantir is mentioned in the Epstein files. I think that anyone who is mentioned in the Epstein files should be fully investig…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her important speech today. Brent council, which covers my constituency, spends £100,000 a day on temporary housing. We have around 40,000 people on the housing waiting list. It is impossible to match that need, but it is also important to understand that councils, as my hon. Friend has said,…”

“Brilliant. Thank you very much. Jayne Kirkham made representations.”

“I will do that.”

“Yes please.”

“I can definitely put that in. I would hope that the Government puts this into the parliamentary diary so that it happens in Government time, but if that does not happen, then obviously I would like a Backbench debate. But yes, I would absolutely consider that—there would be a long list.”

“Good afternoon. International Women’s Day has been in existence for over 100 years. I have been putting in for debates in this House not for 100 years, but since I have been here. I also ensured that we flew the International Women’s Day flag from Parliament. This year’s theme is “Give to Gain”, which is about investin…”

“As we are talking about the best chips, the first fish and chip shop was actually in east London, where I was born. I have a chip shop challenge; I am going around London trying chips—any excuse. Chip shops are an important part of London’s economy, so the hon. Gentleman’s debate is vital. This week, my chip shop chall…”

“I hear congratulations are in order for the debut of the Lib Dem spokesperson, Rachel Gilmour.”

“To get the last two speakers in, will Members stick to roughly four minutes or just under?”

“My hon. Friend is making a powerful and educational speech; I thank her so much. Will she join me in thanking John Hajdu MBE, who came to Brent yesterday to share with us his story of how he survived the Holocaust? As a young boy, he survived only because a non-Jewish family hid him in a cupboard for days on end. Will …”

“My hon. Friend is making a very powerful speech. Is it not also imperative—I think the Government have done some work on this—that women being stalked know who their stalker is? Sometimes they do not know, and it means that they could be at a bus stop, and their stalker could be behind them without them knowing. I am g…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that consent is vital, teaching about consent and seeking consent is imperative, and that the influencers and politicians who say that is too woke and is unnecessary are actually putting our children in danger?”

“My hon. Friend is absolutely right and is giving an excellent speech. It is not about banning gambling; it is about safeguarding. There are companies that are grooming children now to get them addicted to gambling. That is why we have to tackle gambling harms, not just online, but on our high streets. That is why my ca…”

“I congratulate the Minister on the changes that the Government have made, on tackling online harms and on excluding bingo halls, as she says. Bingo halls are often a community, and they involve a lot of people. Does she agree that this issue is about not just online, but offline? Will she consider ensuring that we make…”

“Not only do I agree but I find it shocking that they can blatantly ignore the evidence and lie like that. You wonder sometimes how people sleep at night knowing the harm that is being caused. We are not saying, “Scrap all gambling”, but we have to recognise and understand the harms and do what we can to stop and preven…”

“I thank all Members who contributed to the debate. To the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Isle of Wight East (Joe Robertson), I say spend just 10 minutes with Katherine Morgan who acts as the secretariat of the APPG. She will talk him through how formal exclusions do not work and how families have been affected by…”
