Speeches by Juss.

“I welcome the Minister’s coming to the House this afternoon to provide an update. I believe that he is genuinely concerned about what is happening in Gaza, but the breaches of international law by the Israeli Government continue, and the suffering in Gaza is worsening. I have just one question: will he please give some…”

“Hoarding disorder is a distinct mental health condition, although it is often confused with obsessive compulsive disorder. Hoarding disorder causes individuals to fill their home with items that they feel unable to discard, even when it causes danger and a risk of physical injury. It is believed that up to 3 million ad…”

“Will the Secretary of State give way?”

“I did not mean to interrupt my right hon. Friend, but I thought this was an appropriate time to intervene. As a member of the GMB trade union executive council, I was pleased to see my union welcome the Government’s move to nationalise British Steel, which it described as a “decisive and timely intervention by the Gove…”

“National security should be the primary duty of every Government, and so I have been pleased to be present in this House while listening to the contributions made on defence readiness as part of the King’s Speech debate. When the world today is more dangerous than it has been for a long time and when too many people ar…”

“I think you have more or less answered the questions that I was going to ask. There is a strong argument to suggest that people are in prison when they should not be there. I know that we have had discussions about rehabilitation in prisons, which is not actually there. How many women and children do you have at Hope S…”

“To follow on from the Chair’s question, if you have a person who has been tagged and they are engaging in some sort of criminal activity, what would be your response? How would you act in that situation?”

“Thank you for that very comprehensive answer. I have had experience of seeing a women’s centre in operation: one in the west midlands, which is run by the JABBS Foundation for Women and Girls. I was really impressed with the holistic services that it provided. I know from the answer that you have given that a residenti…”

“Good afternoon. I am Warinder Juss, the Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton West. I am a solicitor, but not practising. I am a member of the GMB trade union executive council and a member of various APPGs.”

“A very quick question: is the punishment element the fact that they cannot leave Hope Street while they are there?”

“You will be aware that there was a plan to open a residential women’s centre in Swansea, which never transpired. What do you think may have been the difficulties that stopped the centre from opening? Is it a question of funding, or are there other challenges that the Government might be facing that have made it difficu…”

“Could you explain, please, why you think gender-specific support is required, as far as the criminal justice system is concerned?”

“Half of all prisoners lack the basic literacy skills needed to navigate everyday life, only one in three secure employment within six months of release, and a third reoffend within a year. Rehabilitation, reducing reoffending, and improving public safety must be at the heart of our criminal justice system. Will the Sec…”
