18 Mar 2025 Stations: Step-free Access

Yes, I agree. It is not just about the physical provision, but having staff available, which I will come on to later in my speech. As I was saying, accessibility is a problem not only for wheelchair users but for those with other mobility issues, including those with pushchairs or luggage, so we need to address the pro

11 Mar 2025North Sea Vessel Collision

I thank the Minister for advance sight of his statement. The scenes we have all witnessed in news reports are very concerning, and our thoughts are with all those affected and with the family of the crew member who remains unaccounted for. This event reminds us of the risks and dangers faced by those who work in the ma

6 Mar 2025 Political Finance Rules

I congratulate the hon. Member for South Dorset (Lloyd Hatton) on securing this debate, and I thank the Backbench Business Committee for granting it. As the Prime Minister declared last year, and as we see so graphically on the world stage now, the “fight for trust” will be “the battle that defines our political era.”—

Has the Minister actually spoken to people in the wine industry? They are absolutely at their wits’ end about this.

3 Mar 2025Town Centre Regeneration

I thank the Minister for his answer. I am proud to have half of Morden town centre in my constituency. Morden is an area ripe for rejuvenation. It has fantastic transport links, but like many town centres across the country, it is struggling. As one Labour councillor recently noted in the council chamber, despite years

I will speak to new clauses 7 and 8. As the MP for Wimbledon, I am proud to represent a constituency with such a rich and diverse educational offering, including fantastic primary and secondary schools in both the independent and state sectors. But recent Government decisions, including the increases in employer NI con

27 Feb 2025 Women’s Health

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Huq. I thank my former colleague on Merton council, the hon. Member for Hastings and Rye (Helena Dollimore), for securing this important debate. As the proud father of four daughters—the solitary man in a family of six—I am acutely aware of the inequalities between the

25 Feb 2025Sri Lanka

It is over 15 years since the end of the bloody civil war in Sri Lanka, but those responsible for the many war crimes committed during that conflict, including the targeting of civilians and sexual violence, have still not been held accountable. In opposition, the Foreign Secretary called on the Government to follow th

Going back to the neighbourhood policing, how do you square the circle of having abstractions and needing abstractions, but maintaining neighbourhood policing?

25 Feb 2025Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 381)

When I asked them about restoring trust in the police, there was a certain degree of, “Well, it’s beyond us,” and almost, “It’s a failure of institutions,” but there are issues for the police particularly in trust as well. How are the Government helping the police to rebuild trust and confidence in them?

Thank you for coming. Dame Diana, I want to pick up something, building on what Shaun was saying then. What I wanted to say to Chief Constable Harrington, but I did not have the time, was he was being too modest because he succeeded, despite the system failing him. He did not have enough power at the top to call for re

25 Feb 2025Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 381)

The data backs you up, particularly deprived communities having less trust in the police. Is that just a factor of deprivation or is there more to that? Is it the way police deal with those from deprived communities?

25 Feb 2025Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 381)

I would like to explore a more general question about how much the summer riots were a manifestation of a breakdown of trust between the police and the public, or certain sections of the public. Emily, you have spoken and written about a crisis of trust in institutions in this context. Do you want to amplify on that a
