Speeches by Bradley.

“The Minister must think he is having déjà vu after our exchange at the Home Affairs Committee yesterday. I implore him once again to make every endeavour and to use his best offices with the EU Commission and the French to try to get them to understand that we cannot wait for there to be delays; we have to anticipate s…”

“Even on a port-by-port basis, I think Dover, Eurotunnel and so on are very much an issue. Clearly, our entry-exits are working phenomenally well—credit to the Home Office for that. We are not seeing the problems at our ports.”

“I rise to present a petition that represents not just the names on the petition but the many thousands who have signed the petition, complaining and protesting against the proposal by the Government to force Staffordshire Moorlands into local government reorganisation. The people of Staffordshire Moorlands say no to St…”

“We heard that once flow is affected, that is too late. Action needs to be pre-emptive. We heard strong evidence from community groups in Dover, as well as the port itself, that what happened over the May bank holiday was not acceptable to people who live in the area. Can you please use your good offices to put pressure…”

“To be fair, the Irish nationals had to do the same as I did—to go through passport checks.”

“The problem is that the system has not been switched on in terms of using the consoles. The 90-odd terminals that we saw at Dover, and the many that there are at St Pancras and at the LeShuttle are there, but they cannot be switched on.”

“You will have noticed from my previous comments that I am exercised by the entry-exit system and its interaction with the CTA. I travelled into Ireland this week and I flew back last night from Dublin. It appeared to me that I was having to have my passport checked in a way that I did not use to in the CTA, so I am con…”

“I rise to make some brief comments about this legislation. I agree fully with what the Government are trying to achieve; I just do not agree with the way they are doing it. I will not repeat the arguments for why we need the legislation, as we have heard them from both sides of the House and I agree fully with what has…”

“My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. The Select Committee recently looked at new forms of radicalisation and extremism, and we were very struck by how things can be looked at through an ideological lens or not, and that sometimes things fall through the cracks in the middle because they are not looked at as a whol…”

“I join others in paying tribute to the Police Service of Northern Ireland, which has once again acted without fear or favour and walked bravely into some of the most dangerous situations. To follow on from the previous question, I was struck by just how many young people were involved in the disorder yesterday, incited…”

“My right hon. Friend is making a very important point. My constituents are utterly shocked by ticket prices. If they wanted to travel between London and Stoke-on-Trent by train today, it would cost a minimum of £160. We need local democracy and decision making, because these prices are outrageous.”

“A few weeks ago, I met leaders from Moorside high school and Werrington primary school in the villages of Werrington and Cellarhead, which are both suffering with real road safety concerns. They are located on the A52, which is one of the main arterial roads into Stoke-on-Trent. Traffic moves quickly down those roads, …”

“The Home Secretary will be aware of the inquiry that the Committee is conducting on the role that organised criminality plays in the crime we see on our high streets. We heard compelling evidence recently about counterfeit goods, the role they play, and the role that forced labour plays throughout that supply chain. Ca…”

“Could the Chief Secretary confirm that responses to submissions are written on the paper of the submissions, and not on Post-it notes?”

“The Prime Minister has just told us that after he sacked Peter Mandelson, he changed the process so that now an appointment cannot be announced until after security vetting is passed. Why did he do that if he did not think there was a problem with the security vetting?”

“I am sure that everyone in this House will have heard stories from friends and constituents who are unable to enjoy a full Jewish life in the way that they should. The Minister is right that this is not just about putting in place more police and security, but about driving out the root cause of antisemitism. In this c…”

“One great privilege of being a Member of Parliament is the ability to raise constituents’ concerns directly with Ministers. Unfortunately, far too frequently, the responses to be sent to our constituents come from officials rather than Ministers. I am sure the Leader of the House agrees that our constituents are entitl…”

“Has the Home Office made an assessment of the number of people who will be affected, and of the amount that will be saved, by moving from a statutory duty to support asylum seekers to a discretionary power?”
