Speeches by Mullane.

“Equally, you would also, if you wanted that research—and I agree with you, it needs a massive piece—you would need to understand those who have consumed that and did not go on that journey. Again, that is a massive piece going forward that is needed.”

“With local authorities having been cut back with the MASHs, and the police as well, do you think that there is the capability, if anything was to change, to deal with it?”

“Following on from what the Chair said, I am a firm believer that if a pull factor to the UK is that it will be quite easy to do illegal work—let’s be honest, we are not going to name them, but we would all know who they are—it is about enforcement. What worries me with the ID cards is a narrative beginning to grow for …”

“And organised crime will always be difficult for you to combat. I would be interested to know from both of you, once Rob has spoken, what do you think is the most effective way? Are you really reliant on France—is that what you are saying?”

“My question is about agencies working together; you have said a lot about that this morning. How much of a priority are the small boat crossings for all Departments and agencies? Is there any duplication of work? How high on their list are small boats?”

“But did someone fill his place?”

“Before Rob comes in, we have had presentations on organised crime before. We were told about the boats and where they were storing them, and that they have changed their operation. Then we were told that they were paying people to go up the motorway to Germany. That is always going to change.”

“On the background, between January and September 2025, we had the most small boat crossings. I hear what you said earlier to Robbie about it not happening overnight—it is not going to happen quickly—but people listening to this will be very frustrated to hear that. The number of small boats, and the number of people in…”

“I have no doubt that that is the case with the Prime Minister and the people you have mentioned, but how would you measure the priorities for the actual Departments? You are citing the Home Secretary and the Foreign Secretary at the very top, but how high up are the small boat crossings at Department level?”

“Do you think it would need to get to that point before you would be aware of any duplications?”

“What do you all think about extremist behaviours changing? Do you think it is being driven by social media and the internet on the normal channels, or do you think that is changing as well? I know you alluded to it in a previous question.”

“Do you think antisemitism, misogyny and conspiracy theories are new forms of extremism? Are they, or should they be, a huge concern?”

“What kind of things do you think an extremist might do that do not reach the threshold of terrorism? I am quite worried about what you have said already; is it a risk to national security?”

“I know what you are going to say, but I am going to ask anyway. We are just wondering what the key issues are in your end-to-end review of Prevent, Lord Anderson, and if you can tell us anything about what you would like to see happen next?”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for his points. That is happening against a backdrop of 14 years with no investment for councils and they are really struggling. On behalf of the local authority, I urge the Department for Education to invest more in the development of truly inclusive schools, well-funded and resourced, so th…”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman. My seat covers two councils, and I always want the best outcome for my constituents. I agree with him and would be happy to do that. Councils are on the frontline of service delivery in Britain and although this debate is not about broader service funding, I must take this opportunity to tha…”

“There are now 33 primary and secondary ARPs in the borough, compared with just 14 a decade ago. Over that period, the number of children who rely on the services has increased from around 180 to 450. Despite the creation of 230 specialist places over a four-year period, with 90 more planned by September this year, ther…”

“I have secured this Adjournment debate to discuss the provision of special educational needs and disabilities in the London borough of Barking and Dagenham, an area that I am honoured to partially represent alongside my hon. Friend the Member for Barking (Nesil Caliskan). The backdrop to this debate is multifaceted, bu…”

“The hon. Gentleman makes some very good points. The Minister was discussing that issue this afternoon and tomorrow my hon. Friend the Member for Barking (Nesil Caliskan) will have a debate on that very point. Alongside that, the growing pressures in the health system and the shortages of educational psychologists, spee…”

“On the asylum accommodation providers, when serious issues are raised on safeguarding or urgent requests for assistance, how often do you hear that that has not been resolved and urgent assistance is not being responded to? Bearing in mind you were saying the calls are recorded, you would be able to spot a pattern, wou…”
