Speeches by Brickell.

“The Government have expressed their concerns at reports that the Israeli Government are preventing humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza. With that in mind, what are the Government doing to ensure that the Israeli Government comply with the UK’s demands to unconditionally and immediately lift restrictions on humanita…”

“Are you able to confirm that it has been impressed upon the Israeli Government that they have an obligation under international humanitarian law to allow the free and unimpeded access of aid to Gaza?”

“It is a pleasure to speak in support of this vital Bill, which will see the Labour Government deliver on the promise made at the last election to return our town centres to our constituents and make our streets safe. This Bill addresses pressing issues that have long plagued our society, and its provisions are both tim…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that it is vital for Members from the previous Government to be here to listen to the testimonies of our constituents about how the last Government failed them on so many facets of tackling crime?”

“I absolutely agree that prevention is fundamental, especially when it comes to youth crime. The senseless killing of seven-year-old Emily Jones in Queen’s park, Bolton, in 2020 was horrifying. Knife crime incidents have been on the rise in towns such as Bolton for a number of years, so we owe it to Emily and her family…”

“As colleagues have done already, I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for South Dorset (Lloyd Hatton) on securing this debate. I rise to speak as someone who dedicated almost 15 years of my working life before coming to this place to being an anti-corruption professional. It is an issue that goes to the heart of ou…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Turner. Bolton Wanderers has been based in my constituency for over 25 years. It is no exaggeration to say that the stadium in Horwich, once known as the Reebok, now the Toughsheet community stadium, is the most important building in our borough. Bolton has long been a…”

“Recent reports published by The Manchester Mill about racism, financial misconduct and bullying at the University of Greater Manchester in Bolton have significantly damaged the reputation of that institution over the past few weeks. Those reports have also led to a significant number of whistleblowers contacting me wit…”

“These include unacceptably long delays for repairs and exorbitant costs at Greenmount Court in Smithills, despite spiralling fees, poor transparency and little to no communication from the agent. What steps is the Minister taking to deliver a fairer deal for existing leaseholders and to hold poorly performing managing …”

“T7. I have recently received a number of complaints from my constituents about leasehold managing agents. These include unacceptably long delays for repairs—[Interruption.]”

“Can the Minister assure the House that it is UK Government policy that not only must Ukraine be involved in a peace and in securing its territorial integrity, but it is only the Ukrainian people—not President Trump, nor President Putin—who can determine the destiny of Ukraine?”

“T2. The payment systems regulator found that more than half of bank transfer scams recorded in 2023 originated on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. What progress has the Secretary of State made to ensure that tech companies are held to account for fraud originating from their platforms?”

“Vast swathes of infrastructure in Gaza have been destroyed. What work are the Government undertaking on supporting the Palestinian people to rebuild their homes and communities, as is their right under international law?”

“I welcome the Paymaster General’s statement today. I notice that he said that there are currently no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the European Union. As a former Erasmus student myself, may I urge him to look at the schemes that are already in place with countries ranging from South Korea to Uruguay, Australi…”

“I would like to draw the Leader of the House’s attention to the experience of a constituent of mine who was a victim of domestic violence. The perpetrator, who went to prison for his violent crimes, is named on a joint tenancy agreement with a local housing association along with my constituent, yet my constituent has …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Turner. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Kensington and Bayswater (Joe Powell) on securing this crucial debate on tax transparency in the overseas territories, which goes to the heart of three issues that I will cover. First, there is the matter of tax just…”

“I draw the Committee’s attention to my role as vice-chair of the APPG on Magnitsky sanctions and reparation, and to my previous role as a financial crime compliance officer for more than 10 years. With that in mind, I wanted to ask a question of Tom about UK overseas territories. We talked about jurisdictions earlier; …”

“Tom, you mentioned the Russian energy sector. One mechanism that has been used to influence policy has been the oil price cap. How effective has that been as a mechanism for driving a change in behaviour?”

“There are a number of these jurisdictions, and it seems to me that some of them have moved quicker than others in addressing concerns around financial crime writ large. Others seem more reluctant to move, partly because of concerns about the impact it will have on their own economy, but also because they have a strong …”

“Mr Collis, Turkey obviously shares a very long border with Syria. There were diplomatic efforts between Ankara and the Assad regime to re-establish diplomatic relations. The Turkish regime had been supporting the Syrian National Army in the north of the country. In your estimation, how important was Turkey in the fall …”
