Speeches by Mullane.

“The new clause is not in keeping with the provisions outlined in the Bill, which primarily focus on border security through new and strengthened law enforcement powers, providing intelligence to address organised immigration crime. I fundamentally disagree with the context of the new clause. Subsection (2) relates to e…”

“It is an honour to serve on your Committee, Dr Murrison. I do not see how turning border security into public discourse on a case-by-case basis is beneficial to the process, either for those administering or presiding over the hearings, or for those subject to the tribunal process. I accept that there is an argument fo…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Dame Siobhain. I disagree with the hon. Member for Perth and Kinross-shire. Given what we have seen play out in the last few weeks, I welcome the measures outlined in the new clause, which answers some of the issues highlighted by new clause 44, which was tabled by the …”

“Good morning, Mr Stuart. It was interesting to hear from the hon. Member for Perth and Kinross-shire that he considered the Rwanda scheme a crackpot scheme. Another opinion is that it was “un-Conservative and un-British”—the opinion of John Major, the former Conservative Prime Minister. We have to acknowledge that the …”

“16. What steps she is taking to ensure adequate levels of high needs block funding.”

“Has the Department give due consideration to updating the allocation policy? It is currently based on historical funding, which leaves boroughs such as Barking and Dagenham at a disadvantage for SEN provision compared with inner-London boroughs.”

“It is an honour to serve on your Committee, Mr Stuart. I thank the hon. Members for Perth and Kinross-shire and for Stockton West for their contributions. There are a few points I want to make. Clause 18 already outlines provision within the lines that amendment 17 seeks to remove. Naming the act of supplying an unseaw…”

“Does the Minister agree that we seem to be having repetition in our discussions about the commander and his abilities within his role? The role is respected, and that came up in the evidence we heard. Does she feel that there is repetition of this point, with the Opposition picking up on it at every moment?”

“Following on from what the Minister asked you about how we have to be mean or have open borders, I looked at your written evidence, in which you have put as your ninth point, “Make Britain unattractive again”, and then you refer to the Rwanda policy. You say that you do not really know, but we had the National Crime Ag…”

“In his evidence, Enver Solomon spoke about the “meltdown” of the immigration system—that it is chaotic. I think we all heard that. I am on the Home Affairs Committee, and we are also looking into that. Quite a few people from different groups have given evidence, and their evidence was slightly more optimistic than wha…”

“I have one small point. Do you think that as this all plays out with the public watching it—and obviously it is of great concern—that impacts on your recruitment in the Met?”

“Explain themselves more then.”

“Minister, I just asked the Assistant Commissioner about police numbers in the main and he said no, he thought everything was all right. When I speak to my local BCU commander, he welcomes all of what we are doing, but he pretty much was saying to me in a meeting about 10 days ago that he is getting new officers, which …”

“My final question. We had the Home Secretary at one of our Committee meetings, and she was talking through with us about procurement and IT and what would be more beneficial to help police forces. What are your thoughts? Chief Constable Harrington: That is a very big question, beyond public order. If I come back to dea…”

“Chief Constable Harrington, would you agree with the Government’s view that the police, in response to the summer disorder, highlighted weaknesses in national policing structures?”

“I have one small point. Do you think that as this all plays out with the public watching it—and obviously it is of great concern—that impacts on your recruitment in the Met?”

“What do you think is the impact of public order policing on the Met more broadly?”

“With the subsequent protest, you give your recount to us on the Tommy Robinson supporters as "peaceful protest". Would you agree with that? Do you think that you were able to contain them?”

“Assistant Commissioner Twist, could you briefly summarise last year’s disorder on Whitehall? Could you contrast that with your subsequent policing of the Tommy Robinson supporters’ protest, which had that disorder missing?”

“Explain themselves more then.”
