The humanitarian crisis that we are continuing to see in Gaza is appalling, horrific and unforgivable, and continues to worsen day by day. Since January, there have been 44,000 admissions of children for the treatment of acute malnutrition. We all know tha…”

“I accept that we should not have tick-box exercises, but does the hon. Member not agree that legislation should reflect changing social values? Were it not for the fact that we have equality legislation, we might still be suffering the social ills that we suffered back in the ’60s and ’70s, which I remember from growin…”

“Following on from what Professor Thomas has said, how do you think that the success of 28 is judged at the moment and how do you think the success should be judged?”

“Minister, you said that the VAWG strategy is focusing on prevention. If we were able to achieve that, perhaps we would not need so many prison places. Can you give a general overview as to how you think that we can achieve prevention?”

“There should be no difference, should there, between conviction rates where somebody gives evidence under section 28 and in the normal way?”

“Over the summer recess, two older Sikh taxi drivers were attacked outside Wolverhampton train station, one of whom is a constituent of mine. Although I commend British Transport police for making arrests quickly, meeting me and acknowledging that the attacks were racially motivated, many people, including me, were shoc…”
