Speeches by Josan.

“T3. I recently visited the Lodge community centre in West Bromwich to meet five of the 25 young people who had arrived in the UK from Gaza to receive specialist medical attention—they were with their families at a fun day put on by the Yemeni Community Association. I spoke with them about their community in Gaza and th…”

“I thank the Home Secretary for her statement. The west midlands is an incredibly diverse area, and this whole episode has had a significant impact on community cohesion and confidence in West Midlands police, particularly among the Jewish community but among all communities. I therefore add my voice to the calls for th…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for his statement. The unity of the House in opposing those states who would do us harm is a key foundation of our strong national security framework. Does the Secretary of State therefore agree that when a senior leader in Reform accepts Russian bribes and when the shadow Attorney Genera…”

“I thank the Minister and all those in Government who worked so hard on this strategy. The shadow Minister, through her rhetoric, does her best to demonise whole communities, but the Minister is right to recognise that abuse occurs in all communities. However, she will be aware of the need to be sensitive to cultural di…”

“I was going to ask you how you interacted with the sub judice rule when you were appointed Attorney General, but you have kind of answered that. Did your understanding of the resolution change once you were appointed to the role?”

“I take it from your answer that you do not recall having any conversations with the Speaker of the House of Commons about sub judice matters.”

“Professor Lewis, your report mentioned the possibility of the public seeing guidance about what could and could not be published after arrest but before charge without falling foul of the rules on contempt. What role do you think that guidance such as that would have alongside the legal framework?”

“To your knowledge, how closely did your officials work with the officials of both Houses on sub judice matters?”

“I take it from your answer that you do not recall having any conversations with the Speaker of the House of Commons about sub judice matters.”

“I will make my points. I will focus on the benefits of the Budget and the choices made by the Chancellor for people in my constituency. It is worth first reminding ourselves of the disgraceful situation in which the Conservative party left the economy in July last year and the scale of the mess the Labour Government ar…”

“I thank the Chancellor of the Exchequer for her excellent Budget statement. I would take the right hon. Member for Tonbridge (Tom Tugendhat) and his colleagues more seriously on defence spending if the Conservatives had not wasted 14 years and cut back our defences to the bare minimum.”

“I recently met representatives of BUUK, a multi-utility infrastructure provider that constructs and operates essential utility assets, and can provide all utilities as a one-stop shop. In view of the Department’s progress on new towns, and the need to rapidly scale up house building, what consideration has the Departme…”

“If there was a regulatory framework, overseen by people other than the returning officer, do you anticipate any problems that could then exist for returning officers?”

“If you were to design a regulatory framework around canvassing and engagement with voters.”

“What sort of resources do you expect would be required to design a regulatory framework and then to monitor compliance and undertake enforcement measures under that framework?”

“The Minister will be aware of the important role played by specialist “by and for” organisations in supporting victims from minority communities and bringing crucial cultural awareness to the table. Sikh Women’s Aid recently held an all-women’s meeting in which it focused on the trauma and fear generated by recent raci…”

“I thank the Home Secretary for her statement, which I fully support. My constituency, like hers, is incredibly diverse, with people originating in countries across the world settled and contributing to our communities. One thing that people from all backgrounds have in common is that they detest the unfairness that the…”
