Speeches by Josan.

“9. What steps her Department is taking to tackle violence against women and girls.”

“In your time, when you held the position of Attorney General, can you outline how you interacted with the sub judice rule?”

“I want to pick up on something that Mr Grieve said earlier. If somebody makes a comment after arrest but before charge and, in this day and age of media, that is repeated by media repeatedly, what is the risk of that prejudicing a trial?”

“Can you recall how closely your officials worked with House authorities on sub judice matters?”

“6. What steps he is taking to help strengthen the defence industrial base.”

“A key ingredient in strengthening the industrial base is the innovation that our companies bring to the table. A&M EDM Ltd in my constituency is a specialist engineering company working with aerospace, automotive, Formula 1 and other industries. When I visited recently, it was testing a drone engine that it had des…”

“On the “issues of national importance” bit of the resolution, your written evidence suggests removing the non-exhaustive list from the resolution. Why is that?”

“What could be the impact of extending the exemption “where a ministerial decision is in question” to include the decisions of independent bodies, such as agencies or regulators?”

“Is there a difference in impact between passing reference to a case, or to the facts, and rehearsing the arguments?”

“In what circumstances could a comment in the House prejudice a trial and lead it to be abandoned? You have already referred to a recent case. In addition to that, is the risk higher in certain types of cases—for example, jury trials compared with trials in front of a single judge? Is there a difference in impact betwee…”

“T3. Cryptocurrencies and digital assets are held by an increasing number of UK citizens—over 8 million people, according to recent figures—and the UK has the potential to be a world leader in this field, supporting our growth mission. Can the Minister detail what steps he has taken to ensure that we rapidly put in plac…”

“If that information was available, how much of that do you think is a reflection of the particular Parliament? With this Parliament, there were a lot of vacancies, a lot of new Members elected for the first time and there was a big change in Government. That obviously would have flavoured what happened. You have alread…”

“The Constitutional Unit’s written evidence alludes to the potential merits of periodic reviews of Select Committee Chair elections. Are there any particular elements of that that you think should be monitored or reviewed each time?”

“We promised 2 million more appointments, and we have delivered 5 million, along with 2,000 extra GPs, 6,500 more mental health workers, 7,000 more doctors, and 13,000 more nurses and midwives. The cancer diagnosis standard has been met, GP satisfaction is up and waiting lists are down. The brand-new Midland Metropolita…”

“T1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.”

“I thank the Minister for her responses, and I absolutely agree that it is crucial to get this right, so can she be absolutely clear that the inquiry will not be watered down, particularly in its focus on grooming gangs and ethnicity, including on models of grooming where groomers focused on the ethnicity of victims, wh…”

“How well do you think the current informal arrangement for seeking guidance on when you can expect to speak during a debate works?”

“I thank the Prime Minister for updating the House on the three points. I join him in his condemnation of the antisemitic terrorist attack in Manchester and the arson attack on the Peacehaven mosque, and I welcome his commitment to fight hatred in all its forms and the support provided for security at synagogues and mos…”

“I warmly welcome the Home Secretary and her team to their places. The Home Secretary will be aware of the recent horrific attack and rape of a Sikh woman in Oldbury, in my constituency, who reportedly had racist abuse directed at her. The case is being treated as a hate crime and a suspect is under arrest. What steps i…”

“My hon. Friend talks about health inequalities; we know that people of some ethnicities are more predisposed to diabetes, so as well as sports organisations focusing on improving information and support for people with diabetes, does he agree that they should also support people from different ethnicities to ensure tha…”
