| 25 Nov 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “That is the view?” | 4 |
| 25 Nov 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Given that there will always be the issues with time for training and teachers have a huge number of responsibilities, and being risk-averse of not making a mistake, is there something we can do with the referral system so that it does not stigmatise in the way you are telling me that it does?” | 54 |
| 25 Nov 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “In broad terms, do most engage?” | 6 |
| 25 Nov 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Excuse my ignorance but can you give me in broad terms what a social cohesion strategy would look like?” | 19 |
| 24 Nov 2025 | Maccabi Tel Aviv FC: Away Fans Ban “According to the response to the Home Affairs Committee by the West Midlands police and crime commissioner, the Home Office was fully briefed in advance on the likely recommendation to ban visiting fans from the match, so can the Minister explain why the Government failed to offer additional support for the match to go…” crimeculture-communitylocal-government | 61 |
| 19 Nov 2025 | Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 “As I hope that the Secretary of State knows, my party and I are hugely supportive of his efforts to move beyond the Tories’ failed legacy Act, provided the legitimate concerns of our veterans are fully met. Will he detail specifically, either now or in writing, which veterans’ groups he has consulted on the wording of …” defencecrime | 69 |
| 18 Nov 2025 | Northern Ireland Troubles Bill “I absolutely agree. We must never equate our armed forces with the paramilitaries and terrorists on both the nationalist and Unionist sides. Veterans deserve assurances that their service rights and data are treated fairly, securely and proportionately. That is why we call on the Government to come forward with binding…” defenceother | 340 |
| 18 Nov 2025 | Northern Ireland Troubles Bill “I absolutely agree. The Bill will have profound implications for both service morale and future recruitment, particularly with respect to our special forces. That is why it must go further. With more than 10% of the Lib Dem Benches made up of former members of the armed services, my parliamentary party is acutely aware…” defenceother | 171 |
| 18 Nov 2025 | Northern Ireland Troubles Bill “I absolutely agree. We must go further and do more for veterans. The Bill does not go far enough at this stage. My party has always opposed the legacy Act, but we are clear that its replacement must address the legitimate concerns of veterans. As one can see from the joint statement issued last night by the veterans co…” defenceother | 267 |
| 18 Nov 2025 | Northern Ireland Troubles Bill “Although I have not held this spokesperson role for long, I have met veterans, victims and survivors, academics and Members from across this House and the other place. Those conversations have been humbling and instructive, reminding me of the horror that Northern Ireland endured and the courage of those who lived thro…” defenceother | 699 |
| 17 Nov 2025 | Asylum Policy “I welcome a sizeable amount of what the Home Secretary has said and is trying to do. Earlier this year the immigration and asylum chamber of the upper tribunal in the case of IX reiterated the established administrative law requirements that Government decision making in asylum cases be proportionate and reasonable and…” immigrationcost-of-livingcrime | 106 |
| 5 Nov 2025 | Council of Europe and the European Convention on Human Rights “It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mr Mundell. I congratulate the hon. Member for Stourbridge (Cat Eccles) on securing this debate. I am pleased to speak about the ECHR and the UK’s membership of the Council of Europe. Across the political spectrum, parties are flirting with withdrawal. It feels like Brexit…” immigrationdefenceculture-community | 435 |
| 29 Oct 2025 | Asylum Seekers: MOD Housing “My colleague on the Home Affairs Committee, the hon. Member for Edinburgh East and Musselburgh (Chris Murray) made an excellent point. The asylum accommodation contract signed under the previous Tory Government gifted scandalously high profits to private providers. Frankly, it is a PPE-type scandal. Clearsprings’ profi…” immigrationhousingdefence | 145 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “If you could, that would be useful.” | 7 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Mr Giannasi said something that reminded me of something I had not asked you, Mr Taylor, about tech companies collaborating with you on illegal content. I assume all the tech companies are the same, but is that correct? Are some better than others?” | 43 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Can I go back to that again? I am struggling; this is a dilemma for liberal democracy, of course, dealing with extremist ideas that are not illegal, because you are allowed to have extremist ideas. How do we square that with a liberal democracy’s right to believe in strange and wrong things?” | 52 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Is hate crime, which is illegal, proliferating on the internet?” | 10 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “I fear I know the answer to this question after the last session, but I will ask it anyway. How effective is collaboration between the policing and the tech companies?” | 30 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Would making these acts of extremism illegal help, or would it drive it deeper into the dark web and make it harder for you to see what is happening?” | 29 |
| 28 Oct 2025 | Home Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 903) “Can we focus on that gap? Can you give some practical examples of that gap and what legislation would fill it?” | 21 |
