Speeches by Moore.

“No levels of concern were raised by the Home Secretary. It was just that it was noted.”

“So that was noted in the engagement that you had with her on 8 October. The decision was made on 16 October, so there was a period of time between those two dates. Was there any further communication from the Home Secretary or No. 10 and the Prime Minister’s Office in relation to any concerns being raised around the fa…”

“That would be great. It is my understanding that West Midlands police decided to consult with various mosques, as you have indicated—”

“You were just saying that you sought reassurance as part of the process that the procedure had been undertaken appropriately, but were you reassured?”

“To stick with the two councillors and following on from Joani Reid’s question about conflicts of interest, predetermined decision making and prejudged views, what is the disciplinary process associated when there is that level of concern that has clearly been expressed?”

“What we are all struggling to understand is the lack of continuity between what has been reported by the Dutch authorities and what has then been reiterated to us through the correspondence that you sent us since the last Committee. The Dutch police are clearly saying in their evidence that had been provided on the Wed…”

“Correct.”

“Here we are. Nationally, concerns have been raised. Councillor Cotton, have you raised these concerns and triggered this process?”

“Does it concern you that we have had to bring the chief constable in front of this Committee not once but twice, and to get the chief constable to say that he is going to have to come back to us with even more information to provide clarity on questions that cannot be answered?”

“Sorry, to ask the question again, were you reassured that the process had been followed appropriately?”

“Has that been triggered in relation to these two councillors?”

“The levelling-up agenda is incredibly important for traditionally forgotten-about places like Keighley. That is why, turning back the clock, I was incredibly proud to achieve a drawdown of about £80 million for various levelling-up projects across Keighley, which was delivered through the £33.6 million Keighley towns f…”

“I absolutely welcome the strategy published today, and I share the Minister’s ambitions on early intervention. However, in constituencies such as mine, one of the state’s greatest failures has been the historical failure to openly and honestly confront perverse cultural attitudes behind violence and abuse against women…”

“Madam Deputy Speaker, may I wish you, and indeed all Members across the House, a very happy Christmas? Like thousands of my constituents, I have recently been sending Christmas cards. May I use this opportunity to congratulate Leo from Oakworth on creating such an excellent design for my Christmas card this year? I am …”

“Happy Christmas to you and your team, Mr Speaker. Earlier this year, I was successful in my campaign to increase the ridiculously short sentences handed down to three vile grooming gang members in my constituency. However, I spoke to at least one victim in my constituency who has told me that she did not know that the …”

“Here we are, at the 11th hour, on the very last day before Parliament rises for Christmas, and the Secretary of State has left it until now to publish Baroness Batters’ profitability review —48 days since it was handed to her. She has tactically left it buried in her Department until well after the Budget and purposely…”

“The Home Office has outlined a proposal on processing. How practical do you think it is for the Home Office to review asylum claims every 30 months for 20 years?”

“Yes.”

“Will the hon. Gentleman give way?”

“Picking up on opportunities, you have all mentioned skills integration, employment integration and community integration. Ms Benton, you mentioned opportunities. How do you think policy should change or adapt to identify the challenges you touched on?”
