Speeches by Tapp.

“And is it monitored?”

“If the Conservatives now consider it okay for public servants to leak documents relating to national security, I hope they will not object if we see leaks on matters relating to their time in charge, such as the risks arising from Russian donors to the Tory party and to our great country—whatever happened to British va…”

“Thank you, Mr Speaker—I am not surprised Conservative Members are wound up by that. Does the Security Minister agree that at least one party in this House needs to behave within our values when it comes to security, and that security leaks are wrong?”

“T1. If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.”

“I recently launched an exciting new reading initiative across Dover and Deal called Tapp into Reading. We tour the schools and the children read theatrically from a VE Day text. This will end in May, at a theatre. Will the Education Secretary join the judging panel then?”

“In Deal, Blossom children’s centre has been closed, and the new merged service does not offer the level of service required for one to four-year-olds and is not fit for purpose. What can be done to reopen that much-loved and sorely missed community asset?”

“6. What steps her Department has taken to help keep family hubs open in Kent.”

“It is important to note that this attacker is a terrorist. He has been charged under the Terrorism Act 2000 and the Biological Weapons Act 1974. The man is a terrorist. The attack itself has not been labelled terrorism because of the lack of a clear ideological motive—that is a decision for the police and the CPS. Will…”

“9. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help increase prosecution rates in cases of people smuggling.”

“Merry Christmas to you, Mr Speaker. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Solicitor General on taking up her position. Having worked with the National Crime Agency in the past, and having worked in a counter-terror role, I have seen at first hand the effectiveness of counter-terror powers and the difference that they can m…”

“We must bear in mind that 95% of weapons come from the US and Germany, and on the legal side of things, the Prime Minister and the Government have been clear that they have consulted legal advice, which of course will continue—I expect that there will be more from the Minister on that. That is not to say that we ignore…”

“The petitions reflect the deep concern and passion of many in our society about the ongoing conflict and suffering in the middle east, and I respect the sentiment behind them. This Government are already working towards the same objectives that many of the signatories seek: an end to the violence in Gaza, the immediate…”

“I thank the right hon. Member for his intervention. Any threat that this country faces is continuously reviewed by the Ministry of Defence, MI5, the police and the Government, and we adapt our approaches to suit. That brings me to the fact that since 2017, MI5 and the police have disrupted 43 late-stage attacks, yet we…”

“This legislation is a fitting tribute to Martyn Hett and the lives of 21 others that were tragically cut short in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack. It is also a testament to the tireless efforts of Martyn’s mother, Figen Murray, who has campaigned with such dignity and determination to ensure that no family endures the…”

“What would you say is the reason for the increase in the number of receipts coming in?”

“On the Crown court backlogs, from your perspective what factors are causing those delays in the system?”

“Your targets are three hours in custody and, I think you said, 28 days on bail. Are you meeting those?”

“What is the impact on the CPS of the backlogs and delays?”

“I am Mike Tapp, Dover and Deal. I was previously employed by the National Crime Agency.”

“Congratulations.”
