Speeches by Moore.

“I want to go back to the earlier comments on exploitation. You mentioned care workers as being a predominant group that is exploited. How effective are the Government at designing an immigration policy that minimises the risk of exploitation?”

“We have recently heard from the Government about an allocation of 41,000 visas for the horticultural sector and 1,900 for poultry, which deals with many of the challenges that have been raised in terms of wanting to get that additional workforce for picking fruit and veg and for the poultry sector. The cap has been set…”

“Are the Government or Home Office focusing enough on reducing exploitation when designing the roll-out of the visa schemes. Is it something that they are providing enough weight to in designing that?”

“What do you feel could be undertaken for the Prevent model to be improved, specifically to capture new forms of extremism and identity of those who are undertaking some of the things that you have been talking about in an online space? Maybe while you are thinking about that, what are your thoughts of the recommendatio…”

“I am very keen to get an understanding from all of you of how effective you think the Prevent model is in identifying young people as being radicalised online specifically. Would you agree with some of the written evidence that we got as a Committee calling the online space a blind spot for Prevent, noting that there i…”

“You have both mentioned challenges with resources there. Are early signs being missed with those young people, particularly within a school environment, say, who are being radicalised?”

“With over 26,000 farms in Northern Ireland, the value of farmland is incredibly high, if not higher, than in any other part of the United Kingdom. Does the hon. Lady agree that the negative impacts of changes to APR and BPR on Northern Ireland farmland will be much higher for those farming families than anywhere else a…”

“A £1 million threshold is nothing when we take into account the value of farmland, a cottage, a farmhouse, growing crops, stocks in store, livestock and machinery valuations—all of which will be taken into account at the valuation of an estate on death. A £1 million threshold is nothing before a 20% IHT liability is pu…”

“Turning to working with stakeholders, how are you co-ordinating your efforts in working with local authorities, health and education to identify the key individuals who are carrying out the crimes and becoming radicalised?”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered e-petition 700047 relating to holidays during school term time. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Lewell. I am privileged to open today’s debate on behalf of the Petitions Committee. I thank not only Natalie Elliott, the creator of the petition, but the …”

“As a fellow Yorkshire MP, I absolutely agree with allowing time out of the classroom for children to go to really good education settings like those provided by agricultural societies and others. That can absolutely be a way of enriching a child’s experience and learning outcomes. If a school becomes an academy, the he…”

“On behalf of Natalie Elliott, the lead petitioner, I thank all the Members who spoke in the debate and the 181,000 people who signed the petition that led to it. It is clear that we all agree that good quality education is vital, but so too is family time. Good quality family time can be enriching, holistic and deeply …”

“On that point, will my hon. Friend give way?”

“My hon. Friend makes the point that many of our constituents across the country do not realise that anybody could set up and run a funeral director service. Sam Gallagher, one of the directors of Gallagher Family Funeral Directors in Keighley, wrote to me to advocate, quite rightly, that the Government should look at b…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Lewell. The official Opposition recognise the need to keep our environment free from pollutants. We recognise that the use of mercury, and its impact on the environment, has increased in the industrialised age. It is right that we take steps to reduce mercury use wh…”

“I have a copy of the Government’s response to the developments last night addressed to the Home Affairs Committee, and I find the response completely unacceptable. Are the Government seriously implying that Fiona and Ellie, who have been disbelieved and called liars by the British state their entire lives, are spreadin…”

“You explained how better collaboration has been taking place over the past year since you took up your position. Is that happening effectively and efficiently, as you might have anticipated when you took on the role, or do you need additional powers to facilitate your objectives?”

“It is great to hear that all these meetings are taking place, but we want to see outcomes delivered on the ground, and they do not seem to be being achieved. More than a year into this Government, why are those outcomes not being achieved in terms of reducing the number of illegal immigrants coming across the channel, …”

“You used the phrase “secure and effective border”. Many will argue that we are nowhere near that. Do you feel empowered enough with the responsibility you have in your role to be able to carry out the objectives?”

“What unique actions do you feel your role has enabled in the past year since taking up your position?”
