Speeches by Antoniazzi.

“I know we need to move on, but I have two more quick questions. How quickly does the mutual aid from GB arrive, and did it arrive in time?”

“You were talking about misinformation and disinformation, Davy. What challenges does the use of social media by malign actors pose when you are responding to disorder?”

“We have heard all the time, and especially when we were in Derry/Londonderry, about your community officers having to be moved when you have such disorder. This is the third year in a row. Another thing that we have heard is that there have been cuts to youth outreach programmes. You have spoken about the voluntary sec…”

“How do you work with the Home Office to share information about the ethnicity and immigration status of suspects?”

“You have mentioned how important the timelines are for you in getting as far ahead of the game as you can. I get that, but the accuracy of the information going out is also of great importance. Are there any issues with getting the right information out there for the PSNI?”

“I am sorry to bombard you, but what additional support, if any, does the PSNI need from the UK Government for any future disorder?”

“One thing I wanted to pick up on, Davy—I know that we have spoken about it before, including with the Chief Constable—is around funding. You said that you had the mutual support from GB, with 168 officers, and that it was the third year in a row that you had had to call on that mutual aid. I think it is obvious that yo…”

“I thank the hon. Member for his intervention about the local growth fund. In our Committee session today, we grilled the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, who is sitting on the Front Bench, about this funding. On numerous occasions, we have noted our disappointment that the relevant Departmen…”

“I think there are further discussions to be had about need, the Barnett formula and all those things. I am sure those discussions are happening and that those things are being continually reviewed, but I do agree about the need. The Executive will repay this £400 million loan over three years—£80 million this year and …”

“I agree that our Committee has seen that the need is greater, and we are working to represent Northern Ireland and the people who live there as best we can. My Committee has recently conducted inquiries on policing and security and on legacy, which the Government directly fund. The Police Service of Northern Ireland cu…”

“I thank the hon. Member for that contribution. It has been very clear from the Committee’s evidence sessions that, to cover the legacy issues it is still dealing with and will have to deal with, the PSNI is taking resource of time and money that it cannot afford, which impacts on what it can provide on the street, so I…”

“I thank the Secretary of State and the Under-Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, my hon. Friend the Member for Wirral West (Matthew Patrick), for their positive engagement with the Committee. We understand the challenges the Secretary of State faces, but we hope to provide the correct amount of scrutiny to get Nor…”

“I thank the Backbench Business Committee for granting time for this timely debate on the spending of the Northern Ireland Office. As I stand here today, it remains the case that Northern Ireland has no agreed budget, despite it being a quarter of the way through the financial year. Executive Ministers have failed to ag…”

“I recognise that we do find ourselves in a rather ridiculous situation, which impacts directly on the lives of people in Northern Ireland. This precarious financial situation has serious implications beyond Northern Ireland, and the consequences for the Northern Ireland Office and the Treasury should be of concern to M…”

“As chair of the all-party parliamentary beer group, I was in a lot of pain this time last week—I was pedalling to pubs in Norfolk, and was probably just outside of Norwich, or maybe somewhere nearby. This week, Pedalling to Pubs came to Parliament. It has raised over £130,000 for two brilliant charities that support th…”

“I thank the Minister for talking to me in advance of her statement and the publication of the draft Bill. Does the symmetry in the Bill allow detransitioners to bring retrospective cases against therapists and professionals who transitioned them using the affirmative approach that was in use at the Gender Identity Deve…”

“Everybody knows that my constituency is one of the most beautiful and the No. 1 tourist destination in the United Kingdom, so the safety of those who live on and visit the stunning coastline is a priority. I heard the right hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr Carmichael) ask a question about coastguard rescue offic…”

“My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech, and her sister was an absolute legend. I want to make a very light-hearted comment. As everybody knows, I am the chair of the all-party parliamentary beer group. I was really honoured this morning to stand with my hon. Friend behind the pumps in the Strangers Bar, with a be…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Belfast South and Mid Down (Claire Hanna) on securing the urgent question. I pay tribute to the Chief Constable, the PSNI and the emergency services for their work and their bravery, which continues to be unstinted. Does the Minister agree that the events we witnessed last n…”
