2 Sept 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1122)

I want to move on to how you might enshrine the right to play in legislation. Where is the UK taking this seriously? I know it was a recommendation of the Play Commission.

1 Sept 2025 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

We are in London, the greatest city in the world—some would say anyway—and we have all just come back from holiday, have we not? Our Mayor Sadiq Khan has ambitious plans for an overnight accommodation levy that would put us on a par with Paris and New York and would harness our growth. Those funds could help regenerate

31 Aug 2025 Middle East

It is truly momentous that this Government look set to put long-standing UK policy into practice and recognise Palestine this month, but it feels like time is running out for a two-state solution, as the Foreign Secretary has acknowledged. We have now witnessed man-made famine, the bombing of hospitals and hostages, an

Order. I need to calculate how long everyone will get to speak. Is everyone standing who wishes to speak? Okay. In that case, I call Jim Shannon.

20 Jul 2025 Middle East

We rightly re-funded UNRWA, but since then aid has become a daily death trap and starvation is widespread. Our calls for a ceasefire only saw the last one get broken. Now, as my right hon. Friend has pointed out, the chilling order to forcibly displace an entire population of 2 million people has been condemned by ex-I

16 Jul 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-07-16)

They never have a circular table but a lot of roundtables. Often at primary schools I go to, it is an additional role dumped on the class teacher rather than them being a PE specialist, so it is encouraging to hear that. Things like hip-hop or whatever, if you diversify and make those more interesting things in your of

I bet these tables were oblong, weren’t they? They are never round, at a roundtable.

Hi to you both. We also see each other in the lobby, don't we? We all do. My question is to both of you. Jo was talking about how we can merge these physically active things with wraparound childcare. On Friday, it will be the end of term. Every parent in the country is panicking about, "Oh my god, what are we going to

Yes, I get that. I am just saying that I cannot imagine our country having a universal ban on things like other countries have, and I am pleased with that. Thank you.

At the same time, our country, which has always had a reputation for tolerance and inclusivity, is not going down a French culture wars route, where hijabs or burkinis are banned. We have always allowed people to have turbans at school. I went to a school with a kid in a turban. We are not doing any of that in this cou

I guess this is the mirror image of that last question. If we are looking at the participation demographically of underserved people who are less physically active, Minister McKinnell, what is the Department doing to ensure that teachers are confident in delivering PE lessons inclusively?

13 Jul 2025Homelessness Prevention

London boroughs now spend £4 million a day on temporary accommodation. While costs and rough sleeping have soared, central Government subsidy has been frozen for 14 years, pushing councils to the brink of bankruptcy. Do my hon. Friends on the Front Bench agree that it is time to lift the 2011 Tory cap, so that London c
