What are the current funding arrangements? Do you think they a…”

“Crimes committed by grooming gangs are among the most horrific imaginable; victims feel the devastating impact for the rest of their life. Does the Minister therefore agree that the findings of the national inquiry into grooming gangs should be implemented without delay, that the victims must be kept at the heart of ou…”

“Penn cricket club in my constituency allegedly had contaminated soil illegally deposited on its grounds. That not only caused an eyesore, but prevented the club from playing cricket on its grounds. The EA put a stop notice on the club in July 2022. Despite investigations continuing, there is no end or resolution in sig…”

“To clarify, if I have understood your answer, what you are saying, Sir Brian, is that for somebody who commits a crime the danger of being caught and locked up quicker is more of a deterrent than thinking they will get five years instead of 12 months’ imprisonment.”

“If I can ask a question on reclassification of offences, your proposal is to reclassify some offences to summary-only, and that would include, say, breach of a restraining order or an offence of disclosure of private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.

“In the last couple of months the west midlands has seen a spate of racially motivated attacks on women of colour, including rapes of Sikh women, who now tell me that they are scared to walk on our streets or use public transport to go to work. Does the Minister agree that there is no place in Britain for any kind of ra…”

“Over 30 million people now need humanitarian aid in Sudan, and millions more have been displaced, with countless others living in fear, hunger and deprivation. Does the hon. Member agree that this crisis has been overlooked for far too long and that, for the sake of humanity, we need to turn our attention to Sudan and …”

“I received an email from a constituent explaining how his beloved video games have been rendered unplayable when the company decides to end server support.

“I thank my hon. Friend for bringing forward this debate. We know that care-experienced people face distinct discrimination and challenges throughout their lives.
